Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 28/29] kconfig/[mn]conf: handle backspace (^H) key

From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 9c38f1f044080392603c497ecca4d7d09876ff99 ]

Backspace is not working on some terminal emulators which do not send the
key code defined by terminfo. Terminals either send '^H' (8) or '^?' (127).
But currently only '^?' is handled. Let's also handle '^H' for those
terminals.
