Relisting (e.g. `g') does erase all marks in *Buffer List*.

I'm not sure it should, however.  Seems to me that Dired should perhaps be the
model here, and `g' does *not* erase marks in Dired.

It is easy enough to erase all marks in the buffer list: `M->' followed by
leaning on the Backspace key.  However, we could also add a key to erase all
marks.  Dired does that with `M-DEL RET'.
