    exec/xtrn_sec.js
    Log Message:
    If you aren't using a custom xtrn menu head per section, then you might fall back on a global one...but the prior logic would not display the actual section heading if it used a global (xtrn_head) file. If you are using xtrn_head, you don't have anything in there with a section name, so display the section name from code again

    Fix default program section selection

    Hitting [Enter] is supposed to select the current/default program
    section. Instead, it was quitting. This was apparently broken as
    part of the xtrn_sec.js refactor a year or so ago by/with mlong.

    Add a carriage-return to the mouse hotspot value when needed

    For program listings, if the program number is fewer digits than the total program list count (number of digits), then a carriage return is required
    to launch that program. Automate this for the mouse hotspot value, so clicking Program #1 in a list of 10+ will just run that program and not require the
    user to hit the Enter key.

    Log Message:
    Don't treat Enter as choosing default section when no prompt was shown

    As pointed out via DOVE-Net by DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA):
    When xtrn_sec.* display file/menu is used, there's no auto-generated
    prompt (with a default section number indicated). So hitting Enter
    in this case and having the previous/default program section selected
    would be surprising behavior to a user. So, only support a default
    section selection when there was no xtrn_sec.* menu/display file.

    Log Message:
    Renamed 'indent_list_items' option to 'align_prog_list'

    Add 'align_section_list' option too for good measure, for instances where 'section_fmt' (by default, the text.dat SelectItemFmt string) does not contain any integer alignment/padding (e.g. %3u).

    This is related to issue #911

    Log Message:
    Support multicolumn xtrn program *section* listing

    While we've long supported multicolumn program lists (for long lists
    that would likely cause a user's terminal to scroll), we've never supported multicolumn external program *section* listings.

    So if the multicolumn option is set to true (the default) and the list of sections is longer than would fit on the user's terminal screen, split into
    2 columns (just two).

    This introduces the new configurable string-option: multicolumn_section_fmt

    This fixes issue #915

    Hopefully Nelgin will be in a better mood as a result.

    Define 'xtrn_sec' in the global JS scope when an section is listed

    This allows the use of JS:xtrn_sec @-code in the 'which' prompt string.
    For Nelgin.
