PR: bin/771 and bin/1037 are resolved by this change

Browse Source 
This change changes the default handling of linemode so that older and/or
stupider telnet clients can still get wakeup characters like <ESC> and
<CTRL>D to work correctly multiple times on the same line, as in csh
"set filec" operations.   It also causes CR and LF characters to be read by
apps in certain terminal modes consistently, as opposed to returning
CR sometimes and LF sometimes, which broke existing apps.  The change
was shown to fix the problem demonstrated in the FreeBSD telnet client,
along with the telnet client in Solaris, SCO, Windows '95 & NT, DEC OSF,
NCSA, and others.

A similar change will be incorporated in the crypto version of telnetd.

This resolves bin/771 and bin/1037.
