Qt status overhaul: add support for 'statuslines'

Condense the Qt status slightly, moving Alignment field from the
Conditons line to the Characteristics line and the Time and Score
fields from their own possibly blank line to the HP,&c,Gold line.

That's for statuslines:2, which is the default.  statuslines:3
restores the previous layout.  I tried to make that become the
default for Qt but it got messy fast and I gave up.

I also tried to make changing 'statuslines' back and forth on the
fly work but failed.  I left the code in as #if DYNAMIC_STATUSLINES
but that isn't defined anywhere.  For the time being at least,
'statuslines' is config file or NETHACKOPTIONS only for Qt, not
changeable via 'O' like for curses and tty.

Change the option description for 'statuslines'.  That depended
upon whether curses was compiled in when it should depend on which
interface is active.  This moves the alternate info to Guidebook.

Number of lines for traditional below-the-map status display.
Acceptable values are 2 and 3 (default is 2).
Curses and tty interfaces only.
Acceptable values are {\tt 2} and {\tt 3} (default is {\tt 2}).

For {\tt 3}, the {\tt tty} interface moves some fields around and
mainly shows status conditions on their own line.
A display capable of showing at least 25 lines is recommended.
The value can be toggled back and forth during the game with the `O'
command.
%.lp ""
The {\tt curses} interface does likewise if the
{\it align\verb+_+status\/}
option is set to {\it top\/} or {\it bottom\/} but ignores
{\it statuslines\/}
when set to {\it left\/} or {\it right}.
%.lp ""
The {\tt Qt} interface already displays more than 3 lines for status
so uses the
{\it statuslines\/}
value differently.
A value of {\tt 3} renders status in the {\tt Qt} interface's
original format, with the status window spread out vertically.
A value of {\tt 2} makes status be slightly condensed, moving some
fields to different lines to eliminate one whole line, reducing the
height needed.
For {\tt Qt},
{\it statuslines\/}
can only be set in the configuration file or via NETHACKOPTIONS, not
with the `O' command.
