[PATCH setup 1/3] Fix the reading and writing of the "extrakeys" user setting

ExtraKeysSetting::keybuffer is terminated by LF rather than NUL.  So
we have to replace NUL by LF after calling
UserSettings::get("extrakeys") in the ExtraKeysSetting constructor.
Otherwise the last saved key is discarded.  Also, bufsize has to be
set appropriately before the call to count_keys(), or else all saved
keys are discarded.

Similarly, the final LF in keybuffer has to be replaced by NUL in the
ExtraKeysSetting destructor before the call to
UserSettings::set("extrakeys", keybuffer).  Otherwise we get garbage
at the end of the "extrakeys" setting in setup.rc.
