Subject: Shell: fixed interactive mode detection for piped stdin.
X-Git-Tag: 0.9.6~14

Shell: fixed interactive mode detection for piped stdin.

Previously, libedit callback API (rl_callback_read_char) was used for
interactive input processing.  Unlike the blocking readline() API, the
callback interface does not work correctly when stdin is a pipe: input
characters are silently dropped and the line handler is never invoked.

The issue was introduced in 4988565c6ea7 (0.8.0).

The fix is to check isatty(STDIN_FILENO) and fall back to the file
processing mode when stdin is not a terminal.
