Daniel Bertalan 5f6030b13c Kernel+LibC: Default to 8-bit characters in TTY
Some ports (like `bc` with history enabled) sensibly set the termios
character size to 8 bits.

Previously, we left the character size value (given by the bitmask
CSIZE) as zero by default (meaning 5 bits per character), and returned
ENOTIMPL whenever someone modified it. This was dumb.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
