Plink sets standard input into nonblocking mode, meaning that read()
from fd 0 in an interactive context will typically return -1 EAGAIN.
But the prompt functions in uxcons.c, used for verifying SSH host keys
and suchlike, were doing an unguarded read() from fd 0, and then
panicking and aborting the session when they got EAGAIN.
Fixed by inventing a wrapper around read(2) which handles EAGAIN but
passes all other errors back to the caller. (Seemed slightly less
dangerous than the stateful alternative of temporarily re-blockifying
the file descriptor.)

)
Conflicts:
unix/uxcons.c
Cherry-picker's notes: the conflict was a trivial one. The new
function block_and_read() by this commit appears just before
verify_ssh_host_key(), which has a new prototype on the source branch,
close enough to disrupt the patch hunk's context. Easily fixed.
