rename: ask(): call __fpurge() to cater for multi-byte characters

Making a purge in cbreak mode also makes the code compatible with
canonical mode.  This can be useful in the case a shell, like bash, does
not restore the tty state of stopped jobs before restarting them.  An
alternative fix to this minor shortcoming would be to retest the tty
state each time inside ask().
