This change prevents misinterpreting an unknown ESC sequence's
tail as a garbage input. To reproduce, run "sleep 3" and
hold down Down_Arrow key until sleep runs.
With debugging log enabled, the following can be seen:

entered get_key_code(no_delay:0)
 c=tty_lowlevel_getch()=27
 push_char(27) !0
 c=xgetch_second()=91
 push_char(91) !0
 2 c=tty_lowlevel_getch()=66
 push_char(66)
  seq_buffer[0]:27   <---- the saved Down Arrow sequence "ESC [ B"
  seq_buffer[1]:91
  seq_buffer[2]:66
  seq_buffer[3]:0
 pending_keys!=NULL. m=-1
 d=*pending_keys++=27
 d=ALT(*pending_keys++)=ALT(91)=8283
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ we misinterpret "ESC [ B" as "ESC ["
return correct_key_code(8283)
entered get_key_code(no_delay:0)
 pending_keys!=NULL. m=-1
 d=*pending_keys++=66
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ we think user pressed "B"
return correct_key_code(66)

With this patch, no bogus "input" is generated.

Longer unknown sequences need an additional fix, coming next.
