In most menus, keyboard commands are synthesized
from controller buttons, leveraging the existing
axis-to-button translation.
Menu controls are currently fixed:
- button 0 (A) is confirm (Enter)
- button 1 (B) is cancel (Esc)
- button 2 (X) is switch (Space)
- button 3 (Y) is delete (Delete)
- axes 0 and 1 (main analog pad) maps to cursor keys
- all hats (D-pads) map to cursor keys
Title screens and credits can be confirmed
with any joystick button or axis motion too.
Commit d355ef4030 removed a seemingly unnecessary modification of the
global variable grd_curcanv->cv_font, after eliminating all local reads
of it. However, a non-local read, buried in listbox_mouse, depended on
grd_curcanv->cv_font being set to a MEDIUM font. After that commit,
grd_curcanv->cv_font retained its prior value, which is not a MEDIUM
font. This caused listbox_mouse to compute an incorrect height of the
lines in the listbox, which manifested as the game choosing the wrong
line when the mouse is clicked in the listbox.
Fix the problem by explicitly using MEDIUM3_FONT, since that was
usually the value left in grd_curcanv->cv_font prior to that commit. In
some cases, a different MEDIUM font would be left there, but all the
MEDIUM fonts have the same height, so they are interchangeable for this
purpose.

Fixes: d355ef4030 ("Pass font to various drawing functions")
User jcotton42 suggested copying a D2X-XL feature: preserving the
directory structure of the user's missions area when showing a New Game
dialog. This was substantially more trouble than it should have been,
but the result is good.
Previously, the dialog presented all missions at any depth below the
starting point, and sorted them as if they were all in the root
directory.
Now:
- Empty directories are hidden entirely. There is nothing for the user
to do in them, so there is no point showing them.
- A directory with exactly one entry has that entry promoted into the
parent, since there is no ambiguity about what the user would want.
If the parent in turn has only that one promoted element when the scan
of the parent finishes, then the element can be promoted up again.
This continues until the root is reached or until a level has more
than one entry. For this purpose, both missions and directories count
as entries.
- Directory entries are decorated to inform the user how many
immediate subdirectories are present, how many missions are present
immediately in the directory, and how many missions total are present,
counting all subdirectories. If there are zero immediate
subdirectories, then the directory count is not shown. For this
purpose, directories that were hidden due to a lack of missions are
not counted.
- Sub-dialog boxes for inner directories use a title that reminds the
user of the path so far, and recaps the directory/mission statistics.
- On entry to the New Game dialog, if the last played mission is in a
sub-dialog, appropriate sub-dialogs are opened so that the last played
mission can be pre-selected.
Currently, there is no in-game override to return to the prior rollup
rules.

When using variadic forwarding constructors
(`sconf_cxx11_inherit_constructor=force-failure`) instead of inheriting
constructors, some ternary expressions become ambiguous due to the
inability to forward the `explicit` modifier from the base class
constructor to the derived class. Add explicit type overrides to
disambiguate these expressions to the result that the compiler would
have picked on its own when using inheriting constructors.
If no character matches the typed character, the loop should exit when
`lb->citem == cc`, which should happen after every entry is visited
once. However, if no item is selected, `lb->citem == -1`, and `cc` is
never `-1`, so the exit path never triggers. Rewrite the loop to be
bounded by number of steps, rather than bounded by returning to a
particular offset. This also protects against undefined behavior if the
menu had zero elements.
Rather than use an inline wrapper and rely on the compiler optimizer to
redirect gr_set_current_canvas(nullptr) to gr_set_default_canvas,
rewrite all relevant calls directly in the source.
git grep -l 'gr_set_current_canvas' | xargs sed -i -e 's:gr_set_current_canvas(\s*NULL\|nullptr\s*);:gr_set_default_canvas();:'
Macro LINE_SPACING previously used global grd_curcanv implicitly.
Change it to take a canvas argument. Change all callers to pass
grd_curcanv, so that usage is explicit.
As a macro, it always refers to the global grd_curcanv. This interferes
with converting canvas handling to be an argument. Expand GHEIGHT so
that uses of grd_curcanv can be changed individually.
