Ever since 149594f974 (Initial revision, 2005-09-20), we move the
cursor to the end of the commandline just before executing it.
This is so we can move the cursor to the line below the command line,
so moving the cursor is relevant if one presses enter on say, the
first line of a multi-line commandline.
As mentioned in #10838 and others, it can be useful to restore the
cursor position when recalling commandline from history. Make undo
restore the position where enter was pressed, instead of implicitly
moving the cursor to the end. This allows to quickly correct small
mistakes in large commandlines that failed recently.
This requires a new way of moving the cursor below the command line.
Test changes include unrelated cleanup of history.py.
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
In some cases the completion we come up with may be unexpected, e.g.
if you have files like
/etc/realfile
and
/etc/wrongfile
and enter "/etc/gile", it will accept "wrongfile" because "g" and
"ile" are in there - it's a substring insertion match.
The underlying cause was a typo, so it should be easy to go back.
So we do a bit of magic and let "cancel" undo, but only right after a
completion was accepted via complete or complete-and-search.
That means that just reflexively pressing escape would, by default, get you back to
the old token and let you fix your mistake.
We don't do this when the completion was accepted via the pager,
because 1. there's more of a chance to see the problem there and 2.
it's harder to redo in that case.
Fixes#7433.
