// When `input_is_terminal` is set to true, it is assumed the input is
// interactive. In this mode:
// * `prompt` is printed to `output` before reading anything.
// * The input must be confirmed with the Enter key. If a user typed more than
//   one character, first one is returned and the rest is dropped.
// In non-interactive mode (input_is_terminal=false):
// * `prompt` is not printed.
// * Exaclty one character is read from input and returned.
// * '\0' is returned on EOF.
//
// Typical use:
//
//   const char ch = ReadCharFromUser(std::cin, std::cout,
