Fix inputrc for rxvt usage.

patthoyts · patthoyts · commit fe855a7e499f · 2012-04-16T22:41:22.000+01:00
When using rxvt the backspace key deletes the whole line because for
rxvt and the bash prompt the backspace key produces different input.
This patch ammends the handling of backspace/control-backspace for rxvt
so that it only deletes one char at a time. Normal bash prompt input
is left as before.
