    Fix IXANY and restart after signal (e.g. ctrl-C) in n_tty line discipline · 54d2a37e

    Fix two N_TTY line discipline issues related to resuming a stopped TTY
    (typically done with ctrl-S):
    
    1) Fix handling of character that resumes a stopped TTY (with IXANY)
    
    With "stty ixany", the TTY line discipline would lose the first character
    after the stop, so typing, for example, "hi^Sthere" resulted in "hihere"
    (the 't' would cause the resume after ^S, but it would then be thrown away
    rather than processed as an input character).  This was inconsistent with
    the behavior of other Unix systems.
    
    2) Fix interrupt signal (e.g. ctrl-C) behavior in stopped TTYs
    
    With "stty -ixany" (often the default), interrupt signals were ignored
    in a stopped TTY until the TTY was resumed with the start char (typically
    ctrl-Q), which was inconsistent with the behavior of other Unix systems.
