Achievement for seeing static, + hint how to recover #2694

The debug tutorial says:

NOTE: if you are still viewing me when I am salvaged, you will be in for a surprise! If this happens just type view base to return to viewing your base.

However, if this actually happens, there is no way to see the log anymore, and the user might have forgotten the view base command that was mentioned. There are a few related things I think we can do here:

  1. We ought to mention the command view base (+ the keyboard shortcut) in the original instructions that tell you to view it0.
  2. We should give an achievement for seeing static (when a robot you are viewing either dies or goes out of range)
  3. When static happens (at least the first time, or possibly every time) the UI should somehow remind the player how to get back to viewing their base. Possibly related: Display no connection when the viewed robot is out of range #1144 .
