terminal: work around macos poll() bug

phillipwood · gitster · commit 6606d99bae41 · 2022-03-16T12:24:44.000-07:00
On macos the builtin "add -p" does not handle keys that generate
escape sequences because poll() does not work with terminals
there. Switch to using select() on non-windows platforms to work
around this.
