Qt: remove "Search [______]" from Help menu

Browse Source 
Prevent Qt from inserting an extra entry in the Help dropdown
menu displayed in the menu bar across the top of the screen
when nethack has focus.  "Search [______]" lets the user enter
a string to search for but doesn't give nethack any control
over that so we can't have it.

I haven't found a sane way to get rid of it.  The insane way
of not naming any menu "Help" works.  This uses "\177Help" so
that it still looks like "Help" but won't match that string.

On OSX, a "Search [______]" action is inserted as the first entry of
the dropdown Help menu on the toolbar. NetHack has no control over
what it does or where it looks, so it should be eliminated somehow.
(It is not releated to nethack's search command, nor the interception
of an attempt to insert "Search" into the dropdown Action menu.)
Sometimes scrolling a menu leaves the displayed text not matching what
nethack thinks is displayed, so making a selection by mouse click may
occasionally pick the wrong item. There's usually a visual clue when
