repl: implement reverse search

Add a reverse search that works similar to the ZSH one. It is
triggered with <ctrl> + r and <ctrl> + s. It skips duplicated history
entries and works with multiline statements. Matching entries indicate
the search parameter with an underscore and cancelling with <ctrl> + c
or escape brings back the original line.
Multiple matches in a single history entry work as well and are
matched in the order of the current search direction. The cursor is
positioned at the current match position of the history entry.
Changing the direction immediately checks for the next entry in the
expected direction from the current position on.
Entries are accepted as soon any button is pressed that doesn't
correspond with the reverse search.
The behavior is deactivated for simple terminals. They do not support
most ANSI escape codes that are necessary for this feature.

+The REPL supports bi-directional reverse-i-search similar to [ZSH][]. It is
