    Fix user-to-user download function

    The JS file_area.user_dir is an object (not documented in jsobjs.html!) and bbs.list_file_info() method expects the directory number (not object) as the first argument. Reported by Jas Hud.

    Prompt to clear the batch download queue if user chooses not to download files

    Some users may have unintentionally added files to their batch download queue and not know how to clear the queue manually, so prompt here for user friendliness/convenience.

    Log Message:
    Don't display/log an error if text/menu/upload.* doesn't exist

    "upload.*" is an optional menu file, so this should've always used the P_NOERROR flag, but the bug just fixed (in commit b656e19ff) masked this
    issue.

    Modified Files:
    exec/load/shell_lib.js
    Log Message:
    upload_file() will now fall-back to blind/batch upload if no filename provided

    If the user doesn't type a filename (just hits enter) and there are either files in the batch upload queue and/or there's an 'Uploads' directory configured by the sysop, then prompt if they want to start a batch
    upload now and do that (using the new bbs.batch_upload() method).

    This change requires the latest SBBS v3.20a changes committed in this same push.

    Change made to accomodate users/sysops like Chris Mifsud from Facebook:
    "For decades using other bbs software I always just pressed enter without entering a file name and it goes straight to the zmodem upload and then I select the file and hit upload no problem."

    Since only the default ("Synchronet Classic") command shell currently uses
    this library, this change only works when using that command shell. When we port other shells from Baja to JS (and this lib), they'll get this feature automatically.

    Don't search globally to view/list-extended file info if the filespec is '*'

    e.g. using the 'E' or 'V' commands (in the default shell) in an empty directory would do something unexpected.
