Backspace not works on windows

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am testing inquirer on windows and unfortunately backspace not removing chars but adds \x08.

>>> username_text = inquirer.Text("username",message="Please enter your username")
>>> inquirer.prompt([username_text])
[?] Please enter your username: user
{'username': 'username \x08\x08\x08\x08    \x08\x08\x08\x08sss \x08\x08\x08\x08\x08 sss\x08\x08\x08 ss \x08\x08\x08  '}
>>>```

Same problem with Linux via Mobaxterm v21.1 (ssh-wrapper for Windows), but via putty it works like a charm. Also Mingw64 Bash Emulator on Windows: same problem. (both Windows 10 clients)
