kdb: Fix console handling when editing and tab-completing commands

Browse Source 
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.
