SetConsoleMode and ENABLE_LINE_INPUT

[PeterCamilleri]

In the description of the ENABLE_LINE_INPUT flag in SetConsoleMode call there is no mention that this flag also enables CTRL-S/CTRL-Q flow control.

This also applies to GetConsoleMode.

I have MSFT:17790922 filed to myself regarding Ctrl+S control flow. Let me come back to this when I investigate that one.

Does ENABLE_LINE_INPUT enable control flow in SetConsoleMode and GetConsoleMode?

Honestly, I don't know at this point!
