Series kdb: Cleanup code to read user input and handle escape sequences | expand

Commit Message

Daniel Thompson Aug. 31, 2018, 8:51 p.m. UTC
Currently if an escape timer is interrupted by a character from a
different input source then the new character is discarded and the
function returns '\e' (which will be discarded by the level above).
It is hard to see why this would ever be the desired behaviour.
Fix this to return the new character rather then the '\e'.

This is a bigger refactor that might be expected because the new
character needs to go through escape sequence detection.
