Found a little time for GNU hacking today, so...

I cherry-picked all the tests patches from lua to master, after which
master now has 3 Zile failing test cases:

  tests/interactive/backward-char.el
  tests/interactive/backward-delete-char.el
  tests/interactive/backward-kill-word.el

The first two were fixed in the lua branch by 07c644b, and which I
attempted to port to master with 903ce3a.  The idea is simply to make
\C-? a valid read syntax for 0x7f and then add global key bindings so
that we can use it in execute-kbd-macro without worrying about what
terminfo says about the kbs cap.  I've run out of hacking time again
before I could figure out why my ported patch didn't fix those.

The other one is a mystery, and doesn't fail on the lua branch, although
it uses \M-? inside execute-kbd-macro (the other two use \C-? and \M-\C-?,
so maybe I uncovered a new master branch bug with reading '?' inside 
execute-kbd-macro...

Since you know your way around the C sources so much better than me, I'll
leave finding the right fix in your capable hands :-p

I also found a display bug in interactive mode on the C branch, but I'll
raise a new ticket at Savannah for that.

Cheers,
