Add accelerator keys for enum options about dynahack HOT 3 OPEN

nh_listitem is used in a lot of things, including a couple of structs used by options, which would involve changing a lot of network code. Moving enum options off of nh_listitem to something new, or even to something like nh_menuitem to support a new accelerator field would involve a fair amount of network code changes.

Putting this off for now.

New idea: The accelerator for each enum option's entries could live in the first character of the caption string by convention. Not the prettiest design, but it'd require no protocol changes, and no code changes outside of handling of enum options. I might go ahead on this after all.

I just tried doing this... the changes required were awful, since the choice descriptions for enum options are stored as-is in the game's config files. Also, generating unique accelerator keys for the dynamically-created 'race' and 'role' options was non-trivial, so I had to special-case them out in 3 different places across the front-end and back-end.

Putting this off again.
