Using the 'm' prefix with #tip was putting up a menu to pick between
one or more floor containers and 'choose from invent', but that
interfered with choosing Tip as a context-sensitive item-action for
carried container. Change 'm' to behave like it does with #eat and
\#quaff and several other commands: skip possible candidates on the
floor and go directly to picking something from inventory.
That prevents using 'm' to force a menu of
|a - <floor container>
|i - pick a container being carried
for any menustyle when there is one floor container. For menustyles
other than traditional, I think that's inconsequential; player needs
to answer 'n' for floor container and then get the choose-from-invent
prompt instead of 'i' and then choose. When there are two or more
containers on hero's spot, 'm' prefix isn't needed to get that menu.
Unfortuately using 'm' to override menustyle:Traditional is still a
thing players might want to do. Keep the prior behavior for that
style when multiple containers are present (dotip() already skipped
that menu despite 'm' when there was just one container). Use the
new behavior (skip floor containers) when one (or none) is present.
That's inconsistent but seems more useful than alternatives. It is
relatively unlikely that anyone who uses traditional non-menu item
selection will also use newfangled inventory item-actions so the menu
isn't likely to interfere with the latter. Update the Guidebook to
describe how Traditional differs just in case.
Adds a more general way to handle gameplay tips, and adds
a boolean option "tips", which can be used to disable all
tips. Adds a helpful longer message when the game goes
into the "farlook" mode.
Also adds a lua binding to easily show multi-line text
in a menu window.
Breaks save compat.
Comparable to #vanquished, be able to view info normally available
during end of game disclosure while the game is still in progress.
The new #genocided command lists all genocided and extincted types
of monsters. Unlike #vanquished, there aren't any sorting choices.
Potential future enhancement: provide a way to view the genocided
list at the "what do you want to genocide?" prompt.

sounds can be set in the config file or on the fly with the Options menu.
This also adds a mechanism for specifying a terminology preference
for a boolean option in the options menu.
The choices are: Term_False, Term_Off, Term_Disabled
Term_False, the default, will use the terms "false" and "true" in the
Options menu.
Term_Off will use the terms "off" and "on" in the Options menu.
Term_Disabled will use the terms "disabled" and "enabled" in the Options
menu.
I didn't review any of the existing options to see if one of the new
alternative terms might be a better fit. They were all left at the default.
Catch the LaTex Guidebook up with the nroff one for the role, race,
gender, and alignment options.
For both formats, comment out the decription of 'altmeta' on Amiga.
Instead of using a compile-time macro to suppress inclusion of the
menu entry to show UNIX command-line usage in the help menu, use a
sysconf setting instead.
Default is HIDEUSAGE=0, to include the entry for command-line usage.
Set HIDEUSAGE=1 to exclude that. Does not affect 'nethack --usage'
if player actually has access to the command-line.
Make the existing '#vanquished' command be available during regular
play, with M-V bound to it. 'm #vanquished' or 'm M-V' brings up
the sorting menu that you get when answering 'a' rather than 'y' at
the end-of-game "disclose vanquished creatures?" prompt.
The original #vanquished came from slash'em, where it was available
in normal play. When added to nethack, it was put in as wizard-mode-
only. I added the sorting capability several years ago.
The chosen sort is remembered and re-used if not reset but only for
the remainder of the current session. It probably ought of become
a run-time option so be settable in advance and across sessions but
I haven't done that.
The #showgold command now does mention known contained gold in your
inventory, so the various lines in the Guidebook which explicitly state
that it doesn't needed to be updated. Wish I had noticed this in time
to put it into the previous Guidebook patch I submitted, but what can
you do.
The pull request included some changes that were neither accidental nor
unintentional, so only a subset of the changes from pull request #869
submitted by klorpa were manually applied.

Close#869
Wizard-mode command to cast any spell without checks that would
prevent casting, and with no energy use.
Mainly to allow the fuzzer to exercise the spell code paths.
Instead of hardcoding mouse button actions, allow the user to
bind mouse buttons to extended commands. For example the new
defaults are:
BIND=mouse1:therecmdmenu
BIND=mouse2:clicklook
Currently a bit rudimentary; the defaults should be OK, but
documentation is bit lacking, and in-game binding and option
saving are missing.
Allowed commands to bind are "nothing", "therecmdmenu", "clicklook",
and "mouseaction". Clicklook replaces the "clicklook" boolean option,
and mouseaction does what mouse 1 button used to do - a context sensitive
action.
Preceding #options or the key bound to that with m runs 'advanced'
options. Implement the inverse: preceding #optionsfull or the key
bound to that with m now runs 'simple' options.
Inspired by the diff from entrez. I didn't care for 'time'. I don't
like 'novelty' much either, but it is a little more accurate since
there is no time factor involved with just-picked-up.
Make the default options menu only show the most important
options, split into categories. The full, traditional menu
can be accessed by using the m-prefix.
