    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!

    Broke random menu/display files - we needed another temp variable here.
