    Fix NULL pointer deref in random_menu()

    When no files with extensions are found, though they matched the glob()
    pattern, a NULL pointer deref would result (segfault).

    This could happen if the only files matching the pattern had no extenions or
    were directories (not files).

    Fix for issue #779

    Log Message:
    Report error when menu() can't find a display file and P_NOERROR not used

    This issue was introduced in commit d02fc1a2 (3 years ago), where menu() would
    silenty fail (just return false) if no display file matching the supported
    menu/display file types/extensions could be found.

    Previous to commit d02fc1a2, we would log a NOTICE-level message and display
    a "File not found" message to the user (what sbbs_t::printfile() does), but
    since d02fc1a2, we no longer even call printfile() when the file doesn't
    exist, so no error was logged or message displayed to the user.

    Of course, when using the P_NOERROR mode flag, silent failure is expected and
    that's still what happens in that case.

    Don't use global menu_dir for calls to menu() with path starting with '.'

    For scripts that set the global menu_dir (e.g. via JS bbs.menu_dir), let's
    not require that all the files moved from text to text/menu (for example).

    Problem reported by Amessyroom when using his custom shell and bullseye.js.

    Fix random menu/display file selection when some files can't be displayed

    When one or more files that match the menu file pattern can't be displayed
    (e.g. the user's terminal is not wide enough or there's any other menu file
    open/read error), pick another random menu file and try displaying that one,
    until either a menu file has been displayed successfully or all files
    (matching the pattern) have been attempted.

    For example, you have text/menu/random1.c80.msg and random2.msg, if the first
    file (random1.c80.msg) is selected at random but the user's terminal isn't
    at least 80 columns wide, another file will be picked at random. Since only
    random2.msg remains in the list (matching the pattern "random*"), that's the
    only file that will always be displayed.

    Disable Celerity "pipe code" parsing when displaying ".rip" files

    RIP sequences conflict with Celerity pipe codes, so don't convert them to
    color codes (even when enabled in SCFG->Systems->Extra Attribute Codes...).

    We *used* to disable all pipe code parsing when sending to a RIP-enabled
    terminal but since we don't do that any longer, this is a better/cleaner fix.

    Renegade "pipe codes" (|xx where xx are decimal digits) don't "seem" to
    conflict with any RIP sequences (so leave that parsing enabled for .rip files)
    but Deuce can help me to be sure about that (please).

    Resolve relative menu/../* to absolute path before checking for file existence

    On *nix, fexist("../mods/text/menu/../filename") would fail unless the
    mods/text/menu sub-directory existed. It works on Windows fine however.

    This resolves issue #918, reported by Keyop - thank you!
