    Fix the heading (user alias is displayed, not name).

    Fix the mouse hot-spots.

    Fix the hot-key option (inverted logic).

    Don't display the [K] Command Shell option if there's only one available.

    Log Message:
    Multi-language support and other niceties

    The get_lang_count(), get_lang_list(), and get_lang_desc_list() functions are more or less ported from load_cfg.c. If we ever need these in any other JS files, they should be moved to a load-lib.

    Re-synchronized this code with sbbs_t::maindflts():
    - Don't accept keys for settings we didn't display
    - Remove support for Auto-Login by IP address (chopping block feature)
    - This is even a tad better as a translated (to another language)
    UserDefaultsHdr string (if/when there is one) would be displayed
    immediately upon a new language file being selected

    Fixed a bug where the user online's command shell was used as the default rather than the selected user's command shell (thisuser).

    Fixed a bug where 'None' was hard-coded rather than use the text.dat string.

    No longer needs/loads text.js (use the hard-coded string IDs in sbbs v3.20)
    for a little speed boost.

    Enable raw input mode when prompting for backspace key

    Since the user we're editing here is not a pointer to the current user, changing the USER_SWAP_DELETE settings before this prompt doesn't prevent
    the DEL->BS translation from happening. Raw input mode does.

    Without this change, it would appear the user's backspace key would toggle between sending either ^H or DEL for the backspace key (for terminals that actually send DEL).

    Log Message:
    Use local 'User' instance (instead of global 'user') if user not logged-on yet

    i.e. user is still going through new user registration

    This fixes a regression in v3.21 whereby a new user turns off auto-terminal detection in the new user default/settings screen, but it's not shown as such (still says "Auto"). I'm pretty sure this is due to the differences of the in-memory 'useron' versus the new User class instance, but it got pretty
    deep in the weeds of the New Terminal Abstraction flags() stuff, so I just
    went with this hack.

    Log Message:
    Fix issue with Guest user changing the terminal settings and language

    So there's 5 major test scenarios for this one script:
    1. new user changing their settings during registration
    2. regular user logged-in and changing their settings
    3. guest user logged-in and changing their (temporary) settings
    4. sysop using ;uedit command to change their own settings
    5. sysop using ;uedit command to change other user's settings

    Having all 5 scenarios work as expected is tricky:
    - current settings/mode is displayed/reflected in the output of the menu
    - changes made by the user are immediately reflected in the dislpayed settings - changes made by the user are saved (or at least remain "current") after quit
