Black cockpit canvas + flicker-free pane painting

SS_BLACKRECT paints the system window-frame color - gray on modern
Windows - so the viewscreen child is now a plain STATIC subclassed to
erase true black. The MFD/map panes flickered because Paint() cleared
the on-screen surface before redrawing at the fill cadence; the pane
now composes off screen and lands in a single BitBlt.
