    src/sbbs3/petscii_term.cpp
    Log Message:
    Use CURSOR_LEFT instead of DEL(ete) when erasing to end of line for PETSCII

    This fixes clear-to-EOL sequences for PETSCII terminals. DEL appears to shift chars on the right to the left and if/when it wraps, that messes up the next line.

    Utopia is now kind of playable in C128 mode.

    Fix PETSCII_Terminal::cleartoeol() more

    I don't know how I missed this with my last fix to this function, but it was just overwriting the same cell with space, repeatedly (not clearing the text
    to the end of line).

    Log Message:
    Clear the curatr REVERSE flag upon sending a carriage return

    This bug messed up on the top of several menu files (e.g. chat, email, qwk) that previously looked fine in v3.20.
