Reset top_popup to fix MENU_IsMenuActive

Changelog: Set the top_popup global variable to zero in MENU_ExitTracking(),
fixing MENU_IsMenuActive() and therefore VK_F1 WM_HELP message generation.

This patch resolves a problem I was having in which F1 popup (aka "What's
This") help stopped working after any menu had been pulled down.
Windows/message.c contains code that generates a WM_HELP message in response
to the F1 key being pressed. WM_HELP generation is conditional on a call to
MENU_IsMenuActive(). MENU_IsMenuActive has a bug, however, in which it
returns true any time a menu has *ever* been pulled down - not just when a
menu is currently pulled down. This bug, in turn, is caused by the fact that
the global variable top_popup is not set to zero after menu tracking is
complete. The proposed patch sets top_popup to zero in MENU_ExitTracking.
