Summary

Backspace, delete, arrow keys, and more are broken in fish-2.3.1 when LC_ALL
is set to a UTF-8 locale. Fix the bug by backporting upstream's fix to
2.3.1

https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/commit/92dd6de73ccdb37facc43f768653e11941448a6b

PR: 212955

Test Plan

Invoke the shell with each of LC_ALL=C and LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and manually
try backspace, delete, and arrow keys
