[v2,3/4] pager: introduce wait_for_pager

Commit Message

Rubén Justo July 13, 2024, 4:29 p.m. UTC

Since f67b45f862 (Introduce trivial new pager.c helper infrastructure,
2006-02-28) we have the machinery to send our output to a pager.

That machinery, once set up, does not allow us to regain the original
stdio streams.

In the interactive commands (i.e.: add -p) we want to use the pager for
some output, while maintaining the interaction with the user.

Modify the pager machinery so that we can use setup_pager and, once
we've finished sending the desired output for the pager, wait for the
pager termination using a new function wait_for_pager.   Make this
function reset the pager machinery before returning.
