[dev] [st] [pull request] Cleanup config.def.h, eliminate mappedkeys, simplify matching.

A series of pull requestes for consideration.

The first pull request is purely aesthetic: it cleans up column headings
(comments) and internal spaces in the shortcuts/key/mshortcuts spaceles in
config.def.h. It also renames the fields in Key to match the nicer names
given in config.def.h.

The second pull request removes the mappedkeys[] optimization. I tested this by
adding 1.000.000 additional entries to the end of key[]:

static Key key[] = {
 ...
#include "lots"
/*
 * "lots" contains 999.999 repetitions of this entry, which is crafted
 * to hit all the tests in kmap() and fail the last:
 * { 'x', XK_ANY_MOD, "nope", .keypad=-1, .cursor=-1, .crlf=1 },
 */
  { 'x', XK_NO_MOD, "exit" },
};

While Java EE 7 goes from a few seconds to less than a minute to compile and link
the above, I could not detect a performance regression in st. ;)

The third pull request simplifies the matching logic in kmap() and match() without
changing the behavior. Hopefully, it is straightforward, but it probably
deserves a careful reading to make sure I haven't made any mistakes.
