Typically, input on the command-line is line-based. It is actually not really easy to get single characters (or better put: keystrokes). We provide two implementations here: - One that handles `/dev/tty` based systems as well as native Windows. The former uses the `tcsetattr()` function to put the terminal into "raw mode", which allows us to read individual keystrokes, one by one. The latter uses `stty.exe` to do the same, falling back to direct Win32 Console access. Thanks to the refactoring leading up to this commit, this is a single function, with the platform-specific details hidden away in conditionally-compiled code blocks. - A fall-back which simply punts and reads back an entire line. Note that the function writes the keystroke into an `strbuf` rather than a `char`, in preparation for reading Escape sequences (e.g. when the user hit an arrow key). This is also required for UTF-8 sequences in case the keystroke corresponds to a non-ASCII letter.
