Help: Fn+h lists the keys of the screen you're on, and no screen names its keys any more (#69)
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 7m22s
Site / build (pull_request) Successful in 14s

Fn+h on any screen, text fields included, and ? outside Text Entry, open a
panel over the content area: the screen's own keys, then the ones that work
everywhere. Every App declares its keys for the state it is in (pages,
viewers, dialogs and text fields answer for themselves); the App manager
opens the panel and takes every key while it is open.

About 30 hint lines are gone, from every App. What stays on a screen is
state. The first-start Setup keeps its hints and teaches the key; a device
set up before gets one Toast, once. The guide and the FAQ open with it.
`key help` over the consoles.

476 host tests (8 new). Checked on the device with key help and screenshots:
the Launcher, all nine Apps and several of their states. 8.5 KB of flash and
40 bytes of static RAM. Decisions Q196 to Q203 in docs/milestones/U1.md.
