    Log Message:
    @BARDEFAULT:cmd@: let a display file name its first-highlighted item

    A lightbar menu always started on the first item in file order unless
    the script displaying it passed a command to MenuBar(), so a sysop
    editing only the menu file had no say in it.

    The new code displays nothing and is reported to scripts as the
    read-only console.bar_default (an empty string when the file has none).
    It takes the same C-escapes as @BAR:cmd@ and is forgotten with the
    other lightbar state when the hot-spots are cleared.

    load/menubar.js uses it only when the script gave MenuBar() no starting
    item: the user's last selection and an explicit argument (including
    false, for no highlight) still take precedence, and a command matching
    no item leaves the first one highlighted.
