exit follow mode when search or filter is cancelled

[OldUser101]

condition change in bbec22d caused panel state during search to persist after the search was cancelled (e.g. escape key). previous behaviour relied on the absence of the HTOP_KEEP_FOLLOWING reaction to stop following, which is no longer the case.

explicitly setting host->activeTable->following to -1 now, has the same effect as not setting HTOP_KEEP_FOLLOWING did before bbec22d.

MainPanel_eventHandler now resets host->activeTable->following to -1 when neither an active search match nor a confirmed search is present.

Poem

A search may lead, then lose its way,
The table clears its follow sway.
When no match calls, the state resets,
And rows return to calm defaults.

Hm, do we want that? Do we want to guard it with the stickyFollow setting?

[OldUser101]

The behaviour I would expect is not to follow unless there is either a search match, or the search has been confirmed (e.g. pressing Enter).

At the very least cancelling a failed search shouldn't keep following whatever was selected by it, probably in error.

in regard to stickyFollow, I'm not sure if it's really relevant here since it currently serves a different purpose of keeping the followed item visible.

I also feel the current behaviour contradicts the intended behaviour of 7d7baeb: a process being followed when confirmed in the search. Currently, every search match, failed or not, will be followed whether the search was confirmed or aborted.
