The C wrapper library of libreadline is extracted

from Ruby 3.3. If you still interest this, can you submit your proposal to upstream?

Feature #13604: Exposing alternative interface of readline
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13604#change-107592
* Author: graywolf (Gray Wolf)

----------------------------------------
GNU Readline has multiple modes of operation. At the moment, the readline extension only
supports typical, `Readline.readline` mode. However, there is also alternative
callback-based interface which is also useful.
```ruby
require_relative 'readline'
PROMPT = "rltest$ "
$running = true
$sigwinch_received = false
Readline.handler_install(PROMPT, add_hist: true) do |line|
# Can use ^D (stty eof) or `exit' to exit.
if !line || line == "exit"
puts unless line
puts "exit"
Readline.handler_remove
$running = false
else
puts "input line: #{line}"
end
end
Signal.trap('SIGWINCH') { $sigwinch_received = true }
while $running do
rs = IO.select([$stdin])
if $sigwinch_received
Readline.resize_terminal
$sigwinch_received = false
end
Readline.read_char if r = rs[0]
end
puts "rltest: Event loop has exited"
```
Patch adding support for this is attached. This is my first try at contributing to ruby,
so please tell me what I did wrong (I'm sure something, C is not my strong language).
