[PATCH] don't _rl_erase_at_end_of_line with char spanning line boundary

Not actually likely but: if output-meta is turned off, and the locale
has printable characters with the 8th bit set, and the octal-escape
representation of such a character ends the line and spans a screen
line boundary, deleting the character will cause
_rl_erase_at_end_of_line to decrement _rl_last_c_pos past 0.

The patch below avoids calling _rl_erase_at_end_of_line in such a case
but I'm not sure the code in that function makes sense in any
situation when the line takes up more than one screen-width:

  3183    for (i = 0; i < l; i++)
  3184      visible_line[--_rl_last_c_pos] = '\0';

since it ends up 0-ing out portions of the first physical line rather
than the last.

Contrived reproducer:

printf -v s '%*s' "$((COLUMNS/10+1))"
INPUTRC=<(echo 'set output-meta off') PS1='$ ' LC_ALL=en_GB.ISO8859-1 \
    bash --norc -in <<<${s// /$' \260'}$'\cH'

$  \260 \260 \260 \260 \260 \260 \260 \260 \
