Add "continue" response to pager

This adds a "continue" response to the pager.  If the user types "c"
in response to the pager prompt, pagination will be disabled for the
duration of one command -- but re-enabled afterward.  This is handy if
you type a command that produces a lot of output, and you don't want
to baby-sit it by typing "return" each time the prompt comes up.

Tested by the buildbot.
