stats.lua: page 4 (keys): support help-like terminal printout
While --input-test is useful, and so is page 4 of stats, until now there was no way to simply print the list in a help-like fashion. This commit adds such printout, invoked by the script opt stats-bindlist=yes, which uses the existing page 4 code. This prints the list on startup and quits immediately - like any help page. It's awkward to invoke compared to other help pages, and it does require the stats page to be enabled (it is by default), however it is a script-generated output, and currently there's no other method to print a help page generated by a script. The printout itself is performed using lua's io.write. While reliable, it's not the standard way for mpv to print to the terminal. Other possible printout methods are mp.msg.info - which also prints "[stats]" prefix on each line (ugly), or forcing term-osd and setting an osd-message which mpv will then print at the terminal - however that's printed to stderr, and could also be subject to timing concerns since we quit right afterwards. In the future we can consider changing/integrating the invocation so that mpv itself could print a help page generated by a script, thus solving both the awkward invocation and printout-method issues.
