rbuffer: Fix for problems with escape input sequences.

If at least two escape sequences were read, the beginning of the
second sequence would be off by one and the sequence would be
misinterpreted.

An escape sequence could be split in two parts and be
misinterpreted, when saved in a ring buffer with wrap around.

Fixes #2936
