Daniel Bertalan 06c835f857 Kernel: Signal EOF/EOL characters properly in TTY ...

I introduced a regression in #7184 where `TTY` would report 1 byte read
in canonical mode even if we had no more characters left. This was
caused by counting the '\0' that denotes EOF into the number of
characters that were read.

The fix was simple: exclude the EOF character from the number of bytes.

This still wouldn't be correct by itself, as the EOF and EOL control
characters could change between when the data was written to the TTY and
when it is read. We fix this by signaling out-of-band whether something
is a special character. End-of-file markers have a value of zero and
have their special bits set. Any other bytes with a special flag are
treated as line endings. This is possible, as POSIX doesn't allow
special characters to be 0.

Fixes #7419
