Done for unused control keys, unused meta key sequences, and unused
escape sequences.  It displays "Unknown Command" on the statusbar when
it gets them, since that's what Pico displays (for the most part,
anyway).

Note that in order to implement this cleanly, I had to add a shortcut
for moving to the next search/replace string in the history, so that it
wouldn't be thrown out as unknown.  Search/replace history still works
the same as before, but now both directions are documented.
