2 new tools: display-{fpathconf.maxcanon}.py

tests/test_maxcanon.py has been deleted and turned into
an "autodetection" tool of sorts, no longer attempting
to assert exacting values, but determine it programmatically.

+"""
+This tool uses pexpect to test expected Canonical mode length.
+
+All systems use the value of MAX_CANON which can be found using
+fpathconf(3) value PC_MAX_CANON -- with the exception of Linux
+and FreeBSD.
+
+Linux, though defining a value of 255, actually honors the value
+of 4096 from linux kernel include file tty.h definition
+N_TTY_BUF_SIZE.
+
+Linux also does not honor IMAXBEL. termios(3) states, "Linux does not
+implement this bit, and acts as if it is always set." Although these
+tests ensure it is enabled, this is a non-op for Linux.
+
+FreeBSD supports neither, and instead uses a fraction (1/5) of the tty
+speed which is always 9600.  Therefor, the maximum limited input line
+length is 9600 / 5 = 1920.
+
+These tests only ensure the correctness of the behavior described by
+the sendline() docstring -- the values listed there, and above should
+be equal to the output of the given OS described, but no promises!
