The keys rewrite the hero's path every cCreature::Update: one segment
along the held direction, the facing set to it, sliding along blocked
cells. Starting from idle runs the game's own Think steps at once
(StartPendingWalk, WalkAction) instead of waiting up to 110 ms, so
weapon switches no longer stop the walk. Stops wait 50 ms after the
keys are released, and a stop in progress is taken back when keys are
held again. Names for movement, stats and text-key functions.

Switching between weapon classes resets the hero's animation state inside
cUI_Taskbar2::SelectWeaponSet, which dropped the walk for a tick. The hook
sends the WASD walk again at once. Checkpoint before the movement rework.

Character creation and the save window were not detected (the UI manager's
dialog slot held a hidden busy dialog); bound keys were swallowed or posted
their hotkey into the field. A text field now counts while it is the focused
edit control and was drawn in the last 250 ms.

Raw WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP are handled in both window procedures (the game
swaps 0x8110d0 and 0x8122a0 with SetWindowLong; 0x8110d0 is the in-game
one). Bound keys are swallowed and post the original hotkey's key event
to the kernel, so F-keys work and bindings are layout independent
([keys] in sacred_re.ini). Replaces the WASD hotkey remap and the digit
swap; W/A/S/D and the digit row no longer reach the game. Skill keys
still cast through the right mouse button. Enabled switches removed.

While W/A/S/D are held, the controlled creature gets a plain walk order every
engine tick toward its position plus the pressed screen direction, as the
mouse does while its button is held (every mouse event re-sends a walk to the
cursor point); releasing sends the target-less stop order of a released mouse
button. W/A/S/D key events are swallowed before the hotkeys see them; their
old actions move to G (action slot 3), V (pick up nearby) and K (save game
window) for now, configurable in [wasd].
docs/wasd.md: order format, measured mouse behaviour, hotkey map.
docs/todo.md: better pathfinder; final bindings for the moved hotkeys.
re::ConfigString for string settings.
