- Improved memory system for pupmenu(), which now stores 255 entries max.

Meaning menus come back to previous selection almost always. Also fixed
  annoying bug that caused Mirror menu (M in editmode) to start at 2nd item

- New hotkey (test :) CTRL+TAB in editmode gives (and shows!) current
  selectmode. I prefer this over cycling, since the menu is informing you
  what happens.

- To enforce pupmenus to start at specific item, use pupmenu_set_active()

- pupmenu_col() to be done
