Subject: [PATCH] ccmake: Accept Ctrl+H as Backspace in cache-entry field
 editor

Some terminals (and native-Windows PDCurses) send ^H (0x08) for
Backspace, which the field editor left unhandled while the search
field already accepted it.  Recognize ctrl('h') alongside 127 and
KEY_BACKSPACE.

Fixes: #27573
