Provide testing steps

[antirez]

Testing linenoise in an automatic way is very hard in a general way, assuming any kind of terminal. However as a start we could at least provide a list of editing steps the user should perform to check if it works more or less correctly.

The second step could be to provide a semi-automated test simulating the keystroke input in software, and asking the user at different steps to verify that the output on the screen is the expected one.

I am working on some automated tests for Linenoise here:

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
