    syncduke/syncdoom: move the lobby single-player key from P to S

    [S]ingle-player replaces [P] in both doors' lobby menus -- in both the live-panel inkey loop and the static getkeys fallback -- freeing P and
    matching the updated lobby art. Ctrl-P (BBS node paging) is unaffected. Includes the refreshed lobby.msg art.

    syncduke/syncdoom: lightbar lobby menus

    Mark the five menu items of each lobby.msg with @BAR codes and the
    artists' selected-item colours (@BARATTR), and drive them with
    load/menubar.js in both the static and the live-panel menu loops: the
    arrow keys move the bar, Enter picks the highlighted item (it used to
    redraw the menu; '?' still does) and the items are clickable.

    The menus passed every control key through to the lobby so that the
    BBS's Ctrl-key handlers couldn't draw over the art. That included ESC,
    which left arrow-key and mouse-click sequences unparsed, the final 'M'
    of a click report being read as the Multi-player key. Hand ESC back to
    the BBS at the menus, as was already done for Ctrl-P.

    Art without @BAR codes, or a Terminal Server that predates them, gets
    the plain hot-key menu as before (though such a server displays the
    codes in this lobby.msg as literal text).
