SMS: pick recipient from contacts; contacts list shows all types

- New SMS recipient picker: GREEN in the compose recipient field opens a list
  of private-call DMR contacts; selecting one fills the destination (using the
  contact's plain DMR ID) and moves to the message text. Manual ID entry still
  works (DOWN advances to the text field).
- Menu -> Contacts now defaults to a combined 'Contacts' view of all contact
  types instead of the group-only filter; HASH still cycles the per-type
  filters. Per-type code paths are unchanged.
