feat(input): ✨ introducing stdin support allowing to read and search any input #235

[dvorka]

This PR adds ability of HSTR to read input from pipe - just for inspiration:

git log --pretty=format:%s | hstr
find | hstr
ps aux | hstr
cat /var/log/nginx/access.log | hstr
grep phrase . | hstr
cat data.csv | hstr
netstat -tulpn | hstr
kubectl logs mypod | hstr

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces stdin support for HSTR, allowing the utility to read input from a pipe and enable searching of piped data. Key changes include updating function signatures (e.g., fill_terminal_input and prioritized_history_create) to accept additional parameters such as file descriptors and history state, and modifying curses initialization to handle tty reading when input is piped.

• The code closes stdin after processing piped history input, which may be problematic if further standard input operations are expected; double-check that this behavior is intended.
