bpo-31158: Fix nondeterministic read in test_pty (#3808)

* bpo-31158: Fix nondeterministic read in test_pty

* Reuse existing readline implementation from io.

Thx to @pitrou

* Updated comment

Ideally, this commit is fixuped into the previous commit. Since there is
already a comment on github, I won't rebase.
