    Add K_LINEWRAP getstr() mode flag, rename K_WRAP to K_WORDWRAP · 9fd4ae6c
    Rob Swindell authored
    For 10 years (commit e212e2c5), sbbs_t/console.getstr() has limited length
    of string input to the available columns of the terminal.
    
    To fix issue #869, rather than change getstr()'s default behavior, add a new
    mode flag: K_LINEWRAP which does not limit the string length input based on
    the terminal width (and the current column) (e.g. for use with ;string
    commands from the default command shell).
    
    Ideally, I'd like to have a marquee-style option (K_mode flag) where longer
    strings just side-scroll to accommodate strings longer than the terminal
    width, but in the mean-time, this'll do.
    
    So anywhere we think a narrow (e.g. 40 column) terminal is being excessively
    restricted in string input width and starting the input in the first column
    is not an option/solution, adding the K_LINEWRAP flag to the getstr() call is
    the proposed solution.
