Subject: ychat: trim down the input frame's link row for mobile

Six popup links (Colors/Options/Help/Users/Admin/Logout) plus a scroll
toggle wrapped onto several lines at the default 16px on a phone-width
screen, which is what was actually eating the input frame's vertical
budget. On narrow screens the row is now a single horizontally
scrollable strip at 13px instead of wrapping, and the "Scrolling:" text
label is dropped in favor of a title tooltip on the checkbox since
there's no room for it. With the row height now predictable (one line,
not an unbounded wrap), .chatlayout-bottom shrinks back from 108px to
96px.
