[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] console: add line carrying backslash

[Olga Arkhangelskaia <arkholga@tarantool.org>]

When using interactive console(stdin) instead of \set delimiter <delimiter>
with "\", "\" in the end if line can be used.

The patch enables "\" only for REPL over stdin. I have troubles to write
tests for stdin input, because in case we attach to the console (remote
or to self) another read (console_read) is used. And in this case I do
not think that we need support backslash, because we stop reading
till "\n" or "\r".
Another problem that I have faced is testing (I have tried remote instance,
console over socket and i little bit of popen. However, all this test take
advantage of console_read and do not touch local_read.
If you have any ideas how to test interactive
console within test-run, please share.

Closes #4317
