Macro to construct one news setting line in the news - settings window.

One line consists of four widgets, namely

- A [<] button
- A [...] label
- A [>] button
- A text label describing the news category Horizontal positions of the widgets are hard coded, vertical start position is (basey + linenum * `NEWS_SETTING_BASELINE_SKIP`). Height of one line is 12, with the text label shifted 1 pixel down.

First line should be widget number WIDGET_NEWSOPT_START_OPTION

Parameters:

  | basey,: | Base Y coordinate
  | linenum,: | Count, news - setting is the linenum - th line
  | text,: | StringID for the text label to display
