This changes the recently added msg_window:f for curses to start viewing the old messages on the last page rather than the first. For msg_window:Reversed (the default for curses) and for either direction when all of the message history happens to fit on one page, there's no change. But for multiple pages, the FIFO feedback now pads the top of the first page with blank lines so that the last page is full, and it starts out showing that last page first. So if you only want to go back few or several messages, they will be in view immediately. Old layout: |first message (oldest) | |1st message of last page | |2nd message of 1st page | | ... | | ... | |final (most recent) mesg | | ... | | (blank filler) | |last message of 1st page | | (blank filler) | | (1 of 2) => | | <= (2 of 2) | and ^P started with first page visible and needed normal menu handling, <space> or '>' or '|', to go forward to view the most recent messages. New layout: |1st message of last page | | (blank filler) | |2nd message of last page | | (blank filler) | | ... | |first message (oldest) | | ... | | ... | |final (most recent) | |last message of 1st page | | <= (2 of 2) | | (1 of 2) => | and ^P starts on last page (two of two in this example) but can go back with '<' and '^'. So if the total size takes one and third pages (which isn't uncommon for the default number of kept messages), you'll see 3/4 of the most recent messages on the initial screen, then you can page backward if you want to see the other 1/4. The page indicator is deliberately drawn a bit differently just to draw attention to the fact you're starting on the last page. I'm not sure whether that is actually worthwhile but it was trivial to do.
