Move the code to use a nethack menu for restoring a saved game. It
was inline in tty_askname() but is now a separate routine, restore_menu()
in restore.c. There was no port-specific code and only a small amount of
tty-specific code; it should be useable by anyone (but Qt doesn't have to
switch over if it doesn't want to).
The original behaved strangely if there were exactly 26 saved chars;
the "start new game" menu entry ended up using "{" as selection character.
There wasn't any comparable problem at 52; it was limiting the menu to 51
games. Now it will allow 52 (with "start a new game" bumped into "#" if
there are that many), and adds an explicit quit entry (unless there are
52 or more games so that # is already used by new-game, then quit remains
implicit rather than resort to some other none-of-the-above character).

The CE ports use makedefs hosted on another platform,
so the version string generated at build time isn't really
appropriate.
Add a way to add information to the version string
at runtime for such ports.

makedefs has been listing TIMED_DELAY as one of the options which
affects save file contents even though that hasn't been the case for
a long time. Unfortunately, simply fixing that by itself would break
save file compatibility for anyone who has been building with it set.
This workaround prevents the fix from doing that. And now folks can
rebuild after toggling TIMED_DELAY without unnecessarily invalidating
save and bones files.
Several flags added since 3.4.0 were destined for flags
(to be saved with the game) but were placed in iflags for
savefile compatibility. These include:
boolean lootabc; /* use "a/b/c" rather than "o/i/b" when looting */
boolean showrace; /* show hero glyph by race rather than by role */
boolean travelcmd; /* allow travel command */
int runmode; /* update screen display during run moves */
This patch has no effect unless you define this in your port's
XXconf.h file.
#define SAVEFILE_340_CONVERT /* allow moving of some iflags fields to flags
without destroying savefile compatibility */
Without it, the new flags remain in "iflags." With it, the flags are moved to
"flags" and the structures are converted when the save file is read. There
is no reverse compatibility. If you save the game after conversion, you
can't load the savefile on 3.4.0, only 3.4.1.
