be9d4f04 Fix multiline wallet cli output with readline (Jethro Grassie)
readline_buffer: fix start/stop threads being starved by process
process could run for quite some time re-acquiring the process
lock, leaving start/stop starving. Yielding after unlock in
process is much better but doesn't seem to be enough to reliably
yield, so we sleep for a millisecond, which should be transparent
for user input anyway.

monero-wallet-cli commands which have multine output sometimes causes
issues with the readline support. This patch fixes show_transfers,
payments and incoming_transfers.
It'd eat up a core constantly, due to spending its time jumping
back and forth between userland and kernel. We now wait for up
to a millisecond in kernel, which will be transparent to the user
and drop to idle most of the time.
This PR adds readline support to the daemon and monero-wallet-cli. Only
GNU readline is supported (e.g. not libedit) and there are cmake checks
to ensure this.
There is a cmake variable, Readline_ROOT_DIR that can specify a
directory to find readline, otherwise some default paths are searched.
There is also a cmake option, USE_READLINE, that defaults to ON. If set
to ON, if readline is not found, the build continues but without
readline support.
One negative side effect of using readline is that the color prompt in
the wallet-cli now has no color and just uses terminal default. I know
how to fix this but it's quite a big change so will tackle another time.
- Performance improvements
- Added `span` for zero-copy pointer+length arguments
- Added `std::ostream` overload for direct writing to output buffers
- Removal of unused `string_tools::buff_to_hex`
Because some people just won't even try to read what is written
and freak out because the word FATAL is in here, despite the
context making it clear it's not an error.
