Cataclysm-dda: Hidden feature: handbrake

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I recently discovered a hidden feature: cars in cdda have handbrakes. Pressing [s] will activate a handbrake bringing the car to a stop rather quickly. As far as I can tell this feature is hidden - there is nothing in the UI to tell the player about it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Change the "?" menu when @ is driving to advertise the handbrake command.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Add handbrake to the "^" menu

Additional context

none

Controls / Input Good First Issue Vehicles stale

Most helpful comment

Handbrake is handled via ACTION_SMASH. Would make more sense if it is handled via a separate action.

this was very interesting to learn, and now I wished I had a seat-belt in my car, but a quick look at the wiki it is mentioned there that s is indeed a hand break. but an in-game showing of it would be nice.
