[RFC v3 0/1] Emacs-like isearch for mconf.

Hello,

v2 went out incomplete, without the patch.
Better so, because it would have just wasted people's time.

For v4 I am planning to implement Sam's idea to kind of being in a permanent
isearch when not using special keys.

Changes in v3:

* Use current git tree to make the patch apply.

* Eliminate debugging output to stderr.

Changes in v2:

* Additionally to CTRL-s, \ can be used to start isearch.

* Raw mode is off by default an can be enabled by an environment
variable MENUCONFIG_RAW_MODE.

* I also added a variable for toggling raw mode but did not implement
anything else.

* The isearch indicator is now displayed as soon as isearch is
started.

* Any key except \, CTRL-s, alphanumeric characters and space
terminates isearch and -- except ESC ESC -- is further processed,
e.g. ENTER terminates isearch and is then used to navigate into a
submenu.

* Problems with mismatches and matches above the current position were
fixed.
