[PATCH] lineedit: don't block when looking for escape sequence in vi-mode

When in vi-mode lineedit tries to detect some escape sequences.
After an escape it reads the next character to check for certain
values.  This read should have a timeout or a user-entered ESC to
switch to command mode doesn't properly handle the next character.
