readline: Improve robustness of editing and escape-sequence handling

Browse source 
Replace fragile cursor compensation with full-line redraws where needed,
fix Ctrl+W buffer/screen corruption, properly consume unrecognized CSI
sequences, and always clean up leaked local-echo characters from buggy
serial drivers. These changes make line editing consistent across
terminals while preserving existing behavior.
