In this way, any message that is on the status bar after the search
will be a response to this search and not some leftover.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59109.
Do the same what the normal "research" code does: if nothing was
searched for yet during this session, and there is a history of
search items, then search for the last item in that history.
Those casts are redundant, and sometimes ugly. And as the types of
variables are extremely unlikely to change any more at this point,
the protection they offer against miscompilations is moot.

There is no need to place the cursor up front, as the drawing of
each name includes the coordinates where the name must be drawn.
Also, trim two comments and reshuffle a free().
The parameter was referenced in just one place. So, simply check for
the three relevant menus (and unrestricted mode) and be done with it.
This also has the pleasant effect that the menu name is now the first
parameter of do_prompt(), thus clearly indicating what prompt it is,
instead of having an opaque TRUE or FALSE value at the beginning.
Instead of burdening seven other calls of do_prompt() with a useless
parameter, just check for MGOTODIR in the appropriate place. It also
saves having to pass the parameter down through three more functions.
Now the help lines can be toggled not only while editing, but also at
the Read (^R), Write (^O), Execute (^T), Search (^W), Replace (M-R),
Goto (^/), and Yesno prompts, and also in the file browser and when
searching for a file name. The help lines cannot be toggled in the
help viewer, nor when searching in a help text, nor in the linter,
as these three things force the help lines to be on.
Furthermore, the 'nohelp' function can be rebound in all relevant
menus (default binding: M-X).
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58471.
When resizing the screen or toggling the help lines or refreshing
the screen with ^L, what used to be total_refresh() would first call
what used to be total_redraw(), to tell ncurses to redraw whatever
had been on the screen so far, before proceeding to fully redraw the
content of the title bar and the edit window and the bottom bars.
That was duplicate work.
Thus, rename total_redraw() to total_refresh(), so that ^L in the
edit window, help viewer, and file browser will redraw the screen
just once. This also preserves whatever was on the status bar
(when --quickblank isn't used).
Rename the old total_refresh() to draw_all_subwindows() and call
this routine when resizing the screen or toggling the help lines
or returning from the credits crawl.
The plain keys that are valid in the help viewer are a perfect subset of
those that are valid in the file browser, so just use the same function
to do the interpretation for both. It is not a problem that it returns
function pointers for some keystrokes that have no meaning in the help
viewer, because both NULL and an unhandled function pointer result in
the "Unbound key" message.
Hard-binding the ^H control code prevents the user from rebinding
the keystroke.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56995.
Bug existed since version 4.0, commit 72a49dbb.
The edit window has been fully cleared just before the list-drawing
loop has started, so there is no need to wipe anything. Only for the
highlighting bar all its characters need to be drawn with the correct
attributes.
Where the row needs to be filled with spaces with the attributes that
were set (title bar, prompt bar, and browser highlight), use printw().
But when the row needs to be actually cleared, use the much faster
clrtoeol().
This reduces the time needed to clear a full row with 95 percent.
