    Log Message:
    Clean up the sbbs_t::console (JS console.status) bit flags

    Mainly this is renaming CON_R_ECHOX to CON_PASSWORD, but also eliminating several long-unused flags.

    Overhaul the gettmplt() (in JS, console.gettemplate) function

    Oh this was (and in some ways is still) oh so broken and has been forever.

    If backspace, DEL, or Ctrl-X was used, the returned string was often not what was being displayed on the terminal when the user hit ENTER. <sigh>

    - Ctrl-X, Backspace and DEL actually clear out the entered text now
    Backspace/DEL don't remove the non-template (e.g. symbol) chars though
    - The left and right arrows keys can now be used to traverse the edited text
    - TAB is now treated the same as CR (much like getstr())
    - When editing a string, the cursor starts at the first character instead of
    the last as this seems much more convenient. Perhaps getstr() should get the
    treatment, but I hesitate because getstr() is used by so many.

    If the file text/menu/[sub|dir]info.* exists, display it

    ... instead of SubInfo or DirInfo text strings.

    Another couple optional displays file that can be used to replace built-in logic and text strings for easier customization.
