    File listings: keep sizes near 1G and 1T within the size column

    Sizes that format to 7 characters, such as 1014.6M, overflowed the 6-wide
    size column of batch-flag listings and pushed the description one column
    to the right. The loop that retries with a larger unit ended before
    formatting with 1G, so a size in megabytes could never be promoted.

    Include 1G and 1T in the loop. The unit is now 64-bit, since a 32-bit
    unit would wrap to 0 and never terminate.

    File listings: show the batch commands banner on every page for experts

    When batch flagging is enabled, each page after the first in a directory listing starts with the FileListBatchCommands banner, which also clears
    the screen. Expert users only got it for a plain listing (mode 0); in a
    file search or new-file scan it was suppressed, so the next page just
    scrolled in below the blank line left by the batch-flag prompt, with no
    header and the letters restarting at A, looking like a new directory.

    The expert setting still governs the directory header on a listing's
    first page, so multi-directory scans remain compact.
