[BRLTTY] Prompt matching.

I'm finally having a look at implementing using regular expressions to match
prompts.

The easiest way to specify the regular expressions would be to add a blrty.conf
directive (e.g. prompt-pattern). For historical reasons, doing it this way
would mean that a pattern wouldn't be able to contain a comma. There are at
least two cases:

* The prompt itself contains a comma.
* A repetition count range within {braces} is needed.

How unreasonable would such a restriction be?
