Eject firsthand prep: G = coolant Flush binding + BT_FLUSH_HOLD scalpel

Browse Source 
The Flush ACTION existed in the input engine but no key was bound in the
shipped CONTROLS.MAP -- desktop players could never hold the flush. G (free)
now maps to it. BT_FLUSH_HOLD=<frames> extends the BT_FLUSH_TEST scalpel
past its 60-frame edge test for tank-dry benches.

Dry-run finding (fl.log): a full flush drains the tank to 0/14 in ~30 s,
but does NOT arm eject by itself -- InjectCoolant moves tank coolant INTO
the loops (the bank RISES), and idle heat draw is too slow to burn the
loops down to the 5% arm threshold in minutes. Firsthand arming needs
sustained fire after tank-dry (or coolant-loop leak damage / generator
loss). Matches the binary's intent: eject arms when LEAKED nearly dry.
