feat(messages): confirm kind for z=, :tselect, inputlist() #32521

Problem:  Messages preceding a `cmdline_show->prompt` event can not be
          distinguished as such when receiving the event. (But since
          `msg_show` handlers should be scheduled, one can already check
          whether a prompt is active when displaying the message.)

Solution: Rather than add a new kind again, use the `confirm` kind.
          Could be seen as slightly misleading where it is more of
          a choice rather than a confirmation, but that already applies
          to `confirm()` as well...
