First steps towards making delay_message_clear useful. The intent is to use a

scrolling message window and show --more-- only when the message window is
filled with new messages since the last mesclr (as suggested by Eidolos/doy on
##crawl).

This currently works only on curses (breaks the DOS and Windows compiles), I'm
working on fixing that. There are also some cursor glitches with prompts at the
bottom of the message window that I need to fix.
