Log Message:
Don't let a translated Quit key shadow a command key (#1242)

The Quit key is the first letter of the (translatable) "Quit" text string,
but many prompts pair it with hard-coded English command keys and test for
Quit first. When the two collided, the command became unreachable: with the
stock Spanish translation (Quit: Dejar) the QWK menu's 'D' (Download) exited
the menu, and with "Salir" 'S' (Select areas) did. This has been the case
since the Quit key became translatable in 9513bdbaa6 (paper-3-legs,
2021-11-18).

Add unique_quit_key(), which returns 'Q' instead when the translated Quit
key is already one of a prompt's command keys, and append_quit_key(), which
adds that key to a getkeys() key list. Use them in the QWK menu, the
transfer protocol prompts (whose keys include 'D' and 'S' in the stock
configuration), the file remove/old-files prompt and the file list batch
flag prompt (whose stock FileListBatchCommands text shows "[Q]uit").

A prompt that displays the Quit mnemonic via @Quit@ still shows the
translated letter when this fallback applies.
