Summary: GUI: Make TimedMessageDialog interruptible by kbd/mouse

Initial Comment:
When changing SCUMM subtitle settings with the ctrl+t shortcut, most of the time I want to press it twice to get to the desired setting. (speech only -> text only -> text and speech).

The message dialog that pops up with the current setting takes a lot of time to disappear, and I have to wait before pressing ctrl+t again.

In the original COMI (and maybe other scumm games), pressing ctrl+t again would make the older message disappear.

ScummVM should at least emulate this useful behaviour.

The patch adds a such a toggle-able option to the TimedMessageDialog. It's disabled by default, and I enabled it for the SCUMM subtitle settings.

BTW, an even even better approach would be to catch subsequent ctrl+t presses and automatically move to the next setting, without making the message dialog disappear.
