Replace readline by linenoise

Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot
smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

+ * Todo list:
+ * - Filter bogus Ctrl+<char> combinations.
+ * - Win32 support
+ *
+ * Bloat:
+ * - History search like Ctrl+r in readline?
+ *
+ * List of escape sequences used by this program, we do everything just
+ * with three sequences. In order to be so cheap we may have some
+ * flickering effect with some slow terminal, but the lesser sequences
+ * the more compatible.
+ *
+ * EL (Erase Line)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n K
+ *    Effect: if n is 0 or missing, clear from cursor to end of line
+ *    Effect: if n is 1, clear from beginning of line to cursor
+ *    Effect: if n is 2, clear entire line
+ *
+ * CUF (CUrsor Forward)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n C
+ *    Effect: moves cursor forward n chars
+ *
+ * CUB (CUrsor Backward)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n D
+ *    Effect: moves cursor backward n chars
+ *
+ * The following is used to get the terminal width if getting
+ * the width with the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails
+ *
+ * DSR (Device Status Report)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ 6 n
+ *    Effect: reports the current cusor position as ESC [ n ; m R
+ *            where n is the row and m is the column
+ *
+ * When multi line mode is enabled, we also use an additional escape
+ * sequence. However multi line editing is disabled by default.
+ *
+ * CUU (Cursor Up)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n A
+ *    Effect: moves cursor up of n chars.
+ *
+ * CUD (Cursor Down)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ n B
+ *    Effect: moves cursor down of n chars.
+ *
+ * When linenoiseClearScreen() is called, two additional escape sequences
+ * are used in order to clear the screen and position the cursor at home
+ * position.
+ *
+ * CUP (Cursor position)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ H
+ *    Effect: moves the cursor to upper left corner
+ *
+ * ED (Erase display)
+ *    Sequence: ESC [ 2 J
+ *    Effect: clear the whole screen
