Readded patches for readline, updated to version 8.

Allows clc to work again for me, and ls output is again in multiple columns

I think may not also now be getting the screen size properly.

On relased 5.1.0.0, doing a `ls` should show multiple columns of files.

On a new version, its just one column down.

Most likely (but not verified) from the recent update of readline to v8.0, running clc in both the GUI and cmdline doesn't not clear the screen but instead just displays ←[2Joctave:2>

Looking at the change set, there was a patch that was implementing different behavior for delete when in windows.


mxe-change set was https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/c1c5dd2cc2f2
