    The terminal mouse setting will now default to the current setting

    ... so just hitting ENTER will stick with the current mouse enablement.

    Fix a couple of bugs with the [L] Terminal Dimensions option

    1. It never saved the rows value set by the user
    2. It would not set the current online user values immediately
    3. It would only call console.getdimenions() when *both* values were set

    Modified Files:
    exec/user_settings.js
    Log Message:
    Use local 'User' instance (instead of global 'user') if user not logged-on yet

    i.e. user is still going through new user registration

    This fixes a regression in v3.21 whereby a new user turns off auto-terminal detection in the new user default/settings screen, but it's not shown as such (still says "Auto"). I'm pretty sure this is due to the differences of the in-memory 'useron' versus the new User class instance, but it got pretty
    deep in the weeds of the New Terminal Abstraction flags() stuff, so I just
    went with this hack.

    exec/user_settings.js
    Log Message:
    Fix issue with Guest user changing the terminal settings and language

    So there's 5 major test scenarios for this one script:
    1. new user changing their settings during registration
    2. regular user logged-in and changing their settings
    3. guest user logged-in and changing their (temporary) settings
    4. sysop using ;uedit command to change their own settings
    5. sysop using ;uedit command to change other user's settings

    Having all 5 scenarios work as expected is tricky:
    - current settings/mode is displayed/reflected in the output of the menu
    - changes made by the user are immediately reflected in the dislpayed settings - changes made by the user are saved (or at least remain "current") after quit
