* cmd/geth, cmd/utils: improve input handlingFelix Lange2016-04-121-0/+98
These changes make prompting behave consistently on all platforms: * The input buffer is now global. Buffering was previously set up for each prompt, which can cause weird behaviour, e.g. when running "geth account update <input.txt" where input.txt contains three lines. In this case, the first password prompt would fill up the buffer with all lines and then use only the first one. * Print the "unsupported terminal" warning only once. Now that stdin prompting has global state, we can use it to track the warning there. * Work around small liner issues, particularly on Windows. Prompting didn't work under most of the third-party terminal emulators on Windows because liner assumes line editing is always available.
