Handle `context.newline` correctly in `tube.interactive()` (#2129)

* Handle `context.newline` correctly in `tube.interactive()`

The `context.newline` or `self.newline` variable isn't obeyed when typing in interactive mode. It is used when sending and receiving lines through `tube.sendline` though, causing a mismatch.

The receiving end of the `tube.interactive()` already has handling of newlines, but the sending side does not.

Example:
```python
from pwn import *
io = process('cat')
io.newline = b'\r\n'
io.sendline(b'auto')
io.interactive()
```

```
$ python testinteractive.py DEBUG
[x] Starting local process '/usr/bin/cat' argv=[b'cat']
[+] Starting local process '/usr/bin/cat' argv=[b'cat'] : pid 19060
[DEBUG] Sent 0x6 bytes:
    b'auto\r\n'
[*] Switching to interactive mode
[DEBUG] Received 0x6 bytes:
    b'auto\r\n'
auto
$ test
[DEBUG] Sent 0x5 bytes:
    b'test\n'
[DEBUG] Received 0x5 bytes:
    b'test\n'
test
```

The expected outcome would be to send `b'test\r\n'.

The same problem arises in non-term mode (`PWNLIB_NOTERM=1`), where stdin is read in binary mode causing the OS line seperators to come through. Correctly replacing them with the `context.newline` setting allows to use the interactive input on windows hosts as well, without constantly sending `\r\n`.

* Update CHANGELOG.md

* Only replace newlines in TTYs

Don't mess with the line endings when piping data through.

* Always send bytes immediately on receive

Only replace newlines in a tty if NOTERM wasn't explicitly set or
the `newline` setting was set.

* Don't return a newline after term.readline lines

The builtin `input()` doesn't include the newline.

* Remove bogous newline from CHANGELOG
