* lisp/calculator.el: improve radix modes

Fix prompt for some input radix with decimal output (eg, "BD" instead of
the incorrect "B="); also, some minor docstring tweaks for these.

 Another toggle-able mode is for using degrees instead of radians for
 trigonometric functions.

+The keys to switch modes are (both `H' and `X' are for hex):
 * `D'             switch to all-decimal mode, or toggle degrees/radians
 * `B' `O' `H' `X' binary/octal/hexadecimal modes for input & display
 * `i' `o'         followed by one of `D' `B' `O' `H' `X' (case
                   insensitive) sets only the input or display radix mode
 The prompt indicates the current modes:
-* \"D=\": degrees mode;
-* \"?=\": (? is B/O/H) this is the radix for both input and output;
-* \"=?\": (? is B/O/H) the display radix (when input is decimal);
-* \"??\": (? is D/B/O/H) 1st char for input radix, 2nd for display.

 Also, the quote key can be used to switch display modes for decimal
 numbers (double-quote rotates back), and the two brace characters
