Frank Kühndel ffc928b9a2 Fixing bug in line editing of the shell with CTRL-U.
This patch fixes a tiny bug in the command line editing of the RTEMS shell.
Typing CTRL-U in the shell should remove all characters left of the cursor.
After pressing CTRL-U, the current implementation does wrongly place the cursor
at the end of the line instead at its beginning.

To reproduce the bug, start the shell and type 'abc123' (no <RETURN>):

> ~/src/rtems $ qemu-system-arm -net none -nographic -M realview-pbx-a9 \
  -m 256M -kernel build/arm/realview_pbx_a9_qemu/testsuites/libtests/dl10.exe

> SHLL [/] # abc123

Then move the cursor onto the '1' by hitting three times the <ARROW-LEFT> key.
Next type <CTRL>-U:

> SHLL [/] # 123

Note that the cursor is at the end of the line (after '3') instead of correctly
at the beginning (on the '1'), now.

Continuing typing 'echo ' incorrectly results in the output:

> SHLL [/] # 123echo 123

The patch changes this behavior so that the cursor in the second last step will
be on the '1' and typing 'echo ' will then correctly reflected as:

> SHLL [/] # echo 123

Close #4097.

This directory contains for the "miscellaneous" library.  Currently
this library contains a number of useful support libraries:

  + Task Stack Overflow Checker
  + Workspace Consistency Checker
  + Task Execution Time Monitor
  + Period Statistics Monitor
  + Debug Monitor

The following ideas have been mentioned for items which could go
in this library, but this list is not all inclusive:

  + there are no outstanding suggestions.

The intent of this library is to provide a home for useful utility routines
which are dependent upon RTEMS.
