PatR 77da2fdc65 tty EDIT_GETLIN fix for wrapped prompt ...

When a getlin() response is being typed, it wraps to second line if
the cursor tries to go past COLNO-1, but if a previous response is
treated as part of the prompt, using pline() to write prompt+space+text
wraps at a whole word boundary.  tty's getlin() assumes that the screen
position can be derived from that prompt+space+text_so_far but that
doesn't match if wrapping at a word boundary leaves blank space at end
of the top line.

When a prompt is accompanied by default answer, output the answer
separately instead of pretending it is part of the prompt.  Line-wrap
should occur at same point as when it was originally typed and avoid
the confusion about how far to back up when deleting characters.

This hasn't been exhaustively tested but it seems to work correctly
for ordinary input, input erased one character at a time, and input
killed all at once.  One thing which definitely hasn't been tested is
having the prompt itself be so long that it needs to wrap.
