Subject: [PATCH] Fix backspace rendering and error handling.

Fixes the following issues:
- When in filter mode, hitting backspace on the first character renders
  the backspace character on the screen along with the first character
  instead of just the search prompt (i.e. '/').
  For example, hitting backspace 3 times on the search string 'abc'
  produces this sequence:
     /abc
     /ab
     /a
     /a^?
- Go to the 'end' label if matches() fails (via regcomp()) when hitting
  backspace.
