    lbshell.js: beep instead of crash on stray keys in the xtrn menu

    When a keystroke that isn't a valid menu item leaks through the lightbar getval() in the external-programs ('x') handler, parseInt() of it yields
    NaN or an out-of-range index, and the code dereferenced the array element without checking it existed:

    - Section selection fed parseInt(x_sec) straight into new Xtrnsec(), whose
    constructor immediately reads xtrn_area.sec_list[sec].prog_list -> the
    "sec_list[sec] is undefined" TypeError seen in error.log.
    - Program selection's own guard was the crash: it read .number off
    prog_list[parseInt(x_prog)] which was undefined.

    Validate the section index before constructing the submenu, and look the program up once with a null-check before dereferencing. A stray keystroke
    now just beeps instead of throwing and dropping to the default shell.
