summary text for block messages (trunk only)

Browse Source 
[Make use of recent message history changes.]

     Add support to makedefs and the core for including a line of summary
text with quest messages that don't use pline() delivery.  The multi-line
record structure of quest.txt begins each entry with %C and ends with %E.
makedefs now examines the %E lines looking for "[anything]" and adds that
to quest.dat where deliver_by_window() can find it.  The square brackets
are required in the input and intentionally carried along to the output.
putmsghistory() is used to put the summary text into the message history
buffer for use by ^P, without being displayed first.  (So this is a no-op
for interfaces which haven't implemented putmsghistory yet.  Maybe
genl_putmsghistory() should pass such text to pline() as a quick hack?)

     This adds a few summary lines to quest.txt so that the feature can
be tested.  Most of them were written by <Someone> nearly three years
ago.  I'm planning to add a couple of new control codes that'll allow some
of them to expand into shorter text.  (The one where the Archeologist
leader tells you that the nemesis stole the artifact so your mission is
to find the goal level, defeat the nemesis, and return with the artifact
ends up being roughly 160 characters long.)
