Backspace doesn't work in integrated console on Linux and macOS

The backspace key isn't working in the integrated console on Linux and macOS. This is likely a simple issue, just needs to be investigated.

In the meantime, a workaround is to press Ctrl+H to emulate backspace.

I'm seeing this issue on Ubuntu 16.10 with VSCode 1.10.2, PowerShell extension 0.10.1, and PowerShell 6.0.0 alpha 17. Keyboard layout is United Kingdom English.

As indicated above, ctrl-H does backspace. Shift-Backspace also works. Both result in "^H" appearing on-screen briefly before the backspace occurs.

I've got a fix in progress for this but it may take a few more days to fully validate it. Should fix all of the key handling issues and the ^H printing issue.
