Thanks to Ramsay and Ævar for their comments on V1.
Changes since V1:
 * Patch 1
   - use an enum for save_term()'s flags (suggested by Ævar)
   - fixed argument order in the windows code (thanks to Ramsay)
 * Patch 2
   - fixed a typo in a comment (thanks to Ramsay)
 * Patch 4
   - stopped duplicating the strings returned by gettext() (suggested by
     Ævar)
   - reworked error message handling in the signal handler to add an
     "error: " prefix (suggested by Ævar)
   - tweaked the background resume error message
V1 Cover Letter:

Fix the remaining issues that I'm aware of when using the built in "add -p" with interactive.singlekey that are stopping it from being merged to master. The first three patches make sure that we call tcsetattr() and the same file descriptor that we use for read() and work around poll() being broken when reading from terminals on macos. The final patch is more of an improvement rather than a bug fix (the same issue already exists in the perl version) and could proceed separately.

Unfortunately these patches conflict with 'cb/save-term-across-editor-invocation' as well as the textual conflicts there is a semantic conflict as the argument to save_term() is changed so the code in editor.c will need updating.

These patches are based on 'pw/single-key-interactive'
Phillip Wood (4):
  terminal: use flags for save_term()
  terminal: don't assume stdin is /dev/tty
  terminal: work around macos poll() bug
  terminal: restore settings on SIGTSTP

    +    full_duplex so change the function signature to take a flags
         argument. Also alter the functions that call save_term() so that they
         can pass flags down to it.
     
    +    The choice to use an enum for tho bitwise flags is because gdb will
    +    display the symbolic names of all the flags that are set rather than
    +    the integer value.
