Currently the only "decoding" we have to turn the TTY input bytes into
events is limited to the keyboard-coding-system thingy.  🙁

Maybe I should have implemented `input-decode-map` directly inside
`read-event`, but I think it goes contrary to the design.

It's usually better to change the users to use a higher-level function
instead, such as `read-key`.

Admittedly, if you want to recognize a quit event encoded as an escape
sequence, that's not going to help you because we need/want those events
to be decoded at as-low a level as we can. 🙁
