Fix for "ugly border" bug

[Pavel Roskin <proski@xxxxxxx>]

Hello!

The bug shown here http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/mc.png is actually a
bug in SLang 1.x including the latest version 1.4.4, but not 0.99.38.

I don't have a fix for S-Lang, maybe I'll find it later, but let me tell
you what I have found so far.

The problem is triggered by the subshell code. The command prompt is
loaded and the command line is resized and redrawn in setup_panels().
When the command line is redrawn in update_input(), it's filled with
spaces.

Somehow at this point S-Lang loses track of the charset it's using. I know
that printing any non-spaces would fix the problem, but the initial
command line is empty, so it's the last this MC outputs via SLang before
going to the event loop.

The subsequent call to SLsmg_draw_box works in the way as if S-Lang
believed that the terminal is already using the alternative charset.

This is a fix for MC. I'm applying it. SLsmg_fill_region is just an
optimization, since I'm writing ifdef anyways.

ChangeLog:
        * widget.c (update_input) [HAVE_SLANG]: Work around a bug in
        SLang 1.x - set charset to alternative when printing spaces.

For readers of slang-workers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
#define acs()   SLsmg_set_char_set(1)
#define noacs() SLsmg_set_char_set(0)
