vis-prompt: make it easier to enter multi line commands
<Enter> now searches for lines starting with command delimiters to
find the command boundaries.
To actually enter a literal new line use <Ctrl-v><Enter> in insert
mode or `o` / `O` in normal mode.
Also remove the special <Backspace> mapping, does not seem esential
use <Escape> to close the prompt window.
