Allow chat box in singleplayer (#2269)

### Allow chat box in singleplayer

- In vanilla, the in-game chat box is disabled in singleplayer
scenarios. You can now enable it by setting `[General] ->
AllowChatBoxInSinglePlayer` to true.
- `AllowChatBoxInSinglePlayer` controls whether the chat box is
available in singleplayer mode. Defaults to `false`.

In `rulesmd.ini`:
```ini
[General]
AllowChatBoxInSinglePlayer=false  ; boolean
```
