Andrew Kesterson 1ddc64010a Let a caller take keystrokes without owning the event loop
akbasic's GET and GETKEY ask "is there a keystroke waiting, yes or no" and must
not require the interpreter to pump SDL events itself. akgl_controller_poll_key
drains one key per call from a fixed 32-entry ring that
akgl_controller_handle_event fills, so the host keeps pumping and the embedded
interpreter reads at its own pace. akgl_controller_flush_keys discards a
backlog.

The recording happens before the control-map scan, not after: that scan returns
as soon as a binding claims the event, so recording afterwards would have
dropped exactly the keys a game also acts on. A full buffer refuses the newest
keystroke rather than overwriting the oldest, so a caller reading a line gets
what was typed first.
