Cannot type ^ with binding on ctrl-^

[Will Gray]

Irssi converts ctrl- keypresses to strings for comparison with bindings. However, there is a block of code in src/fe-text/gui-readline.c that converts the single keypress ^ to ^^. I reported the issue upstream years ago, but it still hasn't been addressed.

I expect this to be solved, it's internally now changed to ^- instead of ^^, which is an invalid control character.
