This fixes a bug that could make 'read-event', 'read-char', and 'read-char-exclusive' erroneously return -1, an internal magic return value of 'read_char' leaked from C to lisp. Instead of returning -1, the aforementioned lisp functions now transparently continue reading available input (e.g., from the keyboard) when reaching the end of a keyboard macro. * src/keyboard.c (read_char, read_key_sequence): Move handling of the end of a keyboard macro from 'read_char' to its caller 'read_key_sequence', which is the only caller that can meaningfully deal with this case. * src/macros.c (Fexecute_kbd_macro): Document how the end of keyboard macro is processed. * etc/NEWS: Announce this change.
