Unused object, DRIVE-CONTROLS #54

There is an object, DRIVE-CONTROLS, that looks like it's supposed to represent the controls in the Drive Bubble. They're not very useful:

<OBJECT DRIVE-CONTROLS
    (IN DRIVE-BUBBLE)
    (DESC "control")
    (SYNONYM DIALS INDICATORS GAUGES BUTTON)
    (ACTION DRIVE-CONTROLS-F)>

<ROUTINE DRIVE-CONTROLS-F ()
     <COND (<EX-CHECK> <RTRUE>)
           (<VERB? ZAP> <RFALSE>)
           (T <TELL
"You can't do anything with them." CR>)>>

But if they're supposed to be accessible, they should probably be in DRIVE-BUBBLE-ROOM, not DRIVE-BUBBLE.

I guess it also needs NDESCBIT, and WHITE-KEY-FCN should handle so that it's either made visible/invisible or moved in and out of the room.

If we want to enable this feature, that is.
