I've been meaning to repost this for some time, and inspired by
having someone keen to review it, I dug it out again!

I split this as carefully as I could into small pieces but the original
code was complex so even in small bits it doesn't make for light
reading.  Things do make more sense once you realize/remember that
escape_delay is a count down timer that expires the escape sequences!

Most of the patches are simple tidy ups although patches 4 and 5
introduce new behaviours. Patch 4 shouldn't be controversial but
perhaps patch 5 is (although hopefully not ;-) ).

Mostly this is auto tested, see here:
https://github.com/daniel-thompson/kgdbtest/commit/c65e28d99357c2df6dac2cebe195574e634d04dc

Changes in v4:

 - Sorry this is late. Looks like I got so distracted by testing the
   series I forgot to post it to the lists.
 - Introduced kdb_handle_escape() in patch 1 (instead of renaming it
   in the middle of the patch series) and documented it in kernel doc
   format.
 - Adopted do {} while for the character fetch loop in kdb_bt.c
 - Added Doug's reviewed-by to the remaining patches. The kept them
   despite the subtle internal reorg w.r.t. kdb_handle_escape() since
   the whole patchset has changed little since he last saw it (beyond
   fixing his review comments).

Changes in v3:

 - Accepted all review comments from Doug (except the return type
   of kdb_getchar() as discussed in the mail threads). In particular
   this fixes a bug in the handling of the btaprompt.
 - Added Doug's reviewed-by to patches 1 and 2.

Changes in v2:

 - Improve comment in patch 4 to better describe what is happening
 - Rebase on v5.4-rc2
