Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Recognize Meta+Left and Meta+Right

Recognize `Alt-Left` and `Alt-Right` for navigating by words in more
terminals/shells/platforms.

I'm not sure exactly where to find canonical documentation for these
codes, but this seems to match what my terminal produces (macOS + iTerm2
+ Fish + Tmux).

It might also be nice to have some more support for editing the bindings
for these characters; sequences of more than one character are not
supported by `el_bind_key` and similar.
