[PATCH v3 3/7] n_tty: Send SIGINFO to fg pgrp on status request character

[Arseny Maslennikov]

No kerninfo line is printed yet.

No existing implementation of this on any Unix-like system echoes
the status character; no existing implementation discards or flushes
pending input on VSTATUS receipt. Thus we do neither.

There are existing popular TUI applications (e. g. mutt) that only
turn off icanon and not iexten, but still do not expect any special
treatment of the status request character â so we require all three:
isig, icanon and iexten to trigger this.
