bug#29153: 25.3; Eshell can't quit when read-only commands have been run

[Pierre Neidhardt]

- emacs -Q

- M-x eshell

- M-:
(let ((prompt "echo foo"))
     (add-text-properties 0 (length prompt)
        '(read-only t
          font-lock-face eshell-prompt
          front-sticky (font-lock-face read-only)
          rear-nonsticky (font-lock-face read-only))
        prompt)
     (insert prompt))

- RET

- C-x k: "Text is read-only"

Explanation: we run a read-only command and the read-only text is added
to history.
But in `eshell-write-history', `insert' will hit a wall when following
read-only text:

    (let ((start (point)))
      (insert (ring-ref ring index) ?\n)

And since `eshell-write-history' is run from the `kill-buffer-hook', the
buffer cannot be killed.

My suggested patch

    (let ((start (point))
          (command (ring-ref ring index)))
      (remove-text-properties 0 (length command) '(read-only t) command)
      (insert command ?\n)

This bug is especially annoying with a multiline prompt since
accidentally pressing RET on any line of the prompt but the last will
insert the read-only prompt into the history.
