Feature #18005: Enable non-blocking `binding.irb`.

This is a multi-faceted issue.

Firstly, we need to make some library changes, remove IO.select, etc from reline and so on.

Then, we need to make $stdin non-blocking (maybe by default - was planned).

Finally, we need to figure out whether we can relax rb_protect to allow fiber transfer.

I already made some changes in reline.

I'm experimenting with relaxing rb_protect: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4598

This is fixed and working correctly. But we might want to add tests so it doesn't break in the future.
