terminal: don't assume stdin is /dev/tty
read_key_without_echo() reads from stdin but uses /dev/tty when it
disables echo. This is unfortunate as there no guarantee that stdin is
the same device as /dev/tty. The perl version of "add -p" uses stdin
when it sets the terminal mode, this commit does the same for the
builtin version. There is still a difference between the perl and
builtin versions though - the perl version will ignore any errors when
setting the terminal mode[1] and will still read single bytes when
stdin is not a terminal. The builtin version displays a warning if
setting the terminal mode fails and switches to reading a line at a
time.
