fix #2779 - Windows GUI pulldown help menu \

specifies duplicate accelerator keystrokes

Reported and diagnosed nine and half years ago but never fixed.

In the WinGUI-specific help menu (under the titlebar, not nethack's
'?' command), both "&Long description of the game" and "&Longer list
of game options" use &L as accelerator.  Typing 'L' or 'l' highlights
one of the entries, then <enter> is needed to execute it or typing
another 'L' or 'l' unhighlights it and highlights the other.  Other
accelerators in that menu execute their entries immediately, without
the need for <enter>.

Change the first one to "Long description of the &game" so that 'G'
or 'g' becomes its accelerator.

That menu is missing several things that have been added to the menu
for '?'.  I put in placeholder comments for them but won't pursue
them further.

Untested.
