improvise-17ak: render_footer hand-wrote l/Tab, h/S-Tab and q/Esc, a key
table no check could read, and already short of the keymap (n, → and ? were
bound and not advertised). It now draws the page indicator followed by
hint_line(Help), truncated in cells.
Derived rather than deleted: the status row carries the same hint, but
draw_status prints status_msg instead of it whenever a message is standing,
and nothing clears the message on entering Help, so deleting the footer's
keys would leave a user who saved and then pressed ? with none.
The guard renders the popup at 140 columns on every page and requires the
footer row to contain hint_line(Help). Red at base; and a literal copy of
today's string fails it as soon as the keymap drops a binding.
