[PATCH] readkey: shrink table of known escape sequences in size

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

Instead of storing pointers to 4-byte strings, we could just store the
characters directly in the struct. Can save us up to 18 pointers worth
of space. Additionally, the nul byte need not be stored explicitly for
3-byte strings, if we know those are the largest strings we have.

The latter likely does not save us any space because of the usual
alignment rules, but it will allow us to support sequences one byte
bigger in future at no increase in size.
