Subject: repl: Patch editline to recognize Meta-Left & Meta-Right

This applies https://github.com/troglobit/editline/pull/70 to our build
of editline, which translates `meta-left` and `meta-right` into
`fd_word` and `bk_word`. This makes `nix repl` soooo much nicer to use!

Note: My terminal renders `meta-left` as `\e\e[C` and `meta-right` as
`\e\e[D`.

Closes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/501
