[PATCH RESEND 1/9] use non-blocking stdin for interactive mode

[Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>]

From: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org>

When accepting keyboard input, it is possible for select() to
return a false-positive with spurious wakeups from inside the
update_status callback.

Using the FIONREAD ioctl in place of select is also a possibility,
but may be less portable.
