    Rename sbbs_t::ungetstr() and JS console.ungetstr() to ungetkeys() · 0d281709

    ... since these methods only feed the keyboard buffer.
    
    Add an optional 'insert' argument to console.ungetkeys() - default is false
    (append).
    
    Add a new version of console.ungetstr() which feeds the passed characters
    directly to the receive input buffer. Now returns bool indicating success.
    Existing scripts (if any) that use console.ungetstr() should continue to work
    just fine.
    
    This is anticipation of telgate.js being able to stuff strings (e.g. username,
    password) into the input buffer and those chars/keys being passed to the
    remote (gatewayed) telnet server. Since the telnet gateway reads directly from
    the receive input buffer (ignoring the keyboard buffer), we needed a way to
    stuff strings of characters into the receive input buffer directly and that
    sort of exposed the weirdness of the existing console.ungetstr() method:
    - it didn't return a return value (not indication of failure)
    - it didn't support an 'insert' operation (even though the underlying C++
      method does)
    - it didn't use the sbbs_t method that already existed for feedding a string
      of characters into the input/keyboard buffer
