Reimplement input functions on top of libuv

The functions `mch_inchar`, `mch_breakcheck`, `mch_char_avail` were
reimplemented on top of libuv. Here's how it works:

- When Neovim needs to wait for characters, it will transfer control to libuv
  event loop.
- When the libuv event loop gets user input, it will transfer control back to
  Neovim
- Neovim uses the `input_read` function to get the actual data read by libuv.

With this scheme its possible to keep Neovim single-threaded while enjoying the
benefits provided by libuv.
