Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add a guidebook page for communication channels

Adds a localized guidebook page under New Player > Controls that lists available radio and collective-mind channels with their chat keys and descriptions. The table is generated from game prototypes, supports filtering, highlights key prefixes, and allows copying non-empty keys by clicking them.
