Subject: [PATCH] #329: test that the Help menu works on the start screen

The Help menu's links were greyed out when no document was open, because UI commands outside app. and window. needed a document. The test checks every help.* UI command is enabled with an empty session while another UI command (view.rulers) stays disabled. Without the help. exemption it fails on "help.discord must work from the start screen".
