Enter when menu active is fixed

Hello!

I've fixed another annoying long-standing bug. "Enter" runs the command
line even if the menubar is active.

The fix is incomplete. The keyboard shortcuts other than Ctrl-x
combinations don't work when the menu is active. But they didn't work
before the patch. I've added a FIXME about this problem.

I don't think that file selection commands (+, -, *) should work with the
active menu, so I don't consider disabling them as a bug. The same applies
to completion (Alt-TAB).

ChangeLog:
       * main.c (midnight_callback): Don't handle any events except
       Ctrl-x combinations on DLG_KEY event if the menu is active.
