v0.4.9

noissh v0.4.9

This release fixes the long-standing "I have to press Enter before the prompt
shows up" annoyance, and switches one-off commands to the familiar, ssh-style
positional form.

Highlights

• The prompt now appears immediately — no need to press Enter first. A
  shell's line editor queries the terminal at startup (cursor-position report
  ESC[6n, and device attributes ESC[c/ESC[>c) and blocks until it gets a
  reply before drawing the prompt. The server's authoritative emulator now
  answers these queries and writes the reply back to the shell, so the first
  prompt renders right away instead of waiting for a keystroke (whose bytes were
  previously being consumed as the missing reply). A plain non-interactive shell
  has no line editor and sends no such query, which is why automated output
  tests never caught it; a new end-to-end test now reproduces the exact stall
  over real sockets.
• ssh-style remote command. Run a one-off command with
  noissh user@host cmd args... instead of the old --exec flag (removed).
  Everything after the host is the remote command, verbatim — its own flags are
  not parsed by noissh — and is joined and run by the remote shell, so quoting,
  globs, pipes, and redirections behave as expected. Output stays byte-exact,
  stderr is kept separate, and noissh exits with the command's status. Omit the
  command for an interactive shell.

Still 100% safe Rust (#![forbid(unsafe_code)]), clippy-clean, 174 tests.
