Euphoria Ticket #936: Background programs hang on exit

OS: Linux or OSX

Interpreted or compiled programs that are run in the background (using &) or using Ctrl+Z and "bg" will hang on exit. By entering "fg" in the same terminal, the program will unfreeze and exit normally. When gdb is attached to the process, the backtrace is as follows:

Program received signal SIGTTOU, Stopped (tty output).

This appears to be caused by the call to tcsetattr in EndGraphics() in be_machine.e. I have tested wrapping the tcsetattr in "if (have_console)" and recompiled Euphoria from source, and it seems to fix the problem. Here's the patch:
