terminal: seek when switching between reading and writing
When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"),
the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing
without an intervening positioning function. Many
implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc
will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer.
In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password
that the user just typed to the terminal.
Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and
write.
The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also
disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable
positioning function for that alternative.
