add -p: prompt for single characters
Use Term::ReadKey, if available and enabled with interactive.singlekey, to let the user answer add -p's prompts by pressing a single key. We're not doing the same in the main 'add -i' interface because file selection etc. may expect several characters. Two commands take an argument: 'g' can easily cope since it'll just offer a choice of chunks. '/' now (unconditionally, even without readkey) offers a chance to enter a regex if none was given.
