These changes make prompting behave consistently on all platforms:
* The input buffer is now global.
Buffering was previously set up for each prompt, which can cause weird
behaviour, e.g. when running "geth account update <input.txt" where
input.txt contains three lines. In this case, the first password
prompt would fill up the buffer with all lines and then use only the
first one.
* Print the "unsupported terminal" warning only once.
Now that stdin prompting has global state, we can use it to track
the warning there.
* Work around small liner issues, particularly on Windows.
Prompting didn't work under most of the third-party terminal emulators
on Windows because liner assumes line editing is always available.

Added chain configuration options and write out during genesis database
insertion. If no "config" was found, nothing is written to the database.
Configurations are written on a per genesis base. This means
that any chain (which is identified by it's genesis hash) can have their
own chain settings.
When attempting to paste very long lines of text the REPL goes
completely fubar, never completing the paste. Removing the multiline
support "fixes" this.
Long lines of text are usually pasted when deploying contracts and as it
stands right now makes creating new contracts from the REPL impossible.
The debug package provides an RPC wrapper for glog settings and the
debugging facilities of the Go runtime. They can be triggered through
both command line flags and the IPC listener.
