Subject: terminal: add a new function to read a single keystroke

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.
