Fix \watch's interaction with libedit on ^C.
When you hit ^C, the terminal driver in Unix-like systems echoes "^C" as well as sending an interrupt signal (depending on stty settings). At least libedit (but maybe also libreadline) is then confused about the current cursor location, and corrupts the display if you try to scroll back. Fix, by moving to a new line before the next prompt is displayed. Back-patch to all supported released.
