kdb: Fix console handling when editing and tab-completing commands
Currently, if the cursor position is not at the end of the command buffer and the user uses the Tab-complete functions, then the console does not leave the cursor in the correct position. For example consider the following buffer with the cursor positioned at the ^: md kdb_pro 10 ^ Pressing tab should result in: md kdb_prompt_str 10 ^ However this does not happen. Instead the cursor is placed at the end (after then 10) and further cursor movement redraws incorrectly. The same problem exists when we double-Tab but in a different part of the code. Fix this by sending a carriage return and then redisplaying the text to the left of the cursor.
