kt programs 74366d895d viewer: add key passthrough mode
When trying to search in less, keys bound to viewer functions can't be
used as part of the search query, which makes the search useless.

Add a view::passthrough binding mode and a :toggle-key-passthrough
command go toggle in and out of that mode. By default, typing '/' in the
viewer is bound to enabling key passthrough and automatically inserting
'/', to easily enter "less" search mode. When in the passthrough mode,
all bindings are ignored by default. The default binds.conf only defines
a single keybinding in that mode: <Esc> to get back out. $ex is bound to
<C-x> to allow typing colons.
