If I use `-serial stdio` on Windows, after QEMU exits, the terminal
could not handle arrow keys and tab any more. Because stdio backend
on Windows sets console mode to virtual terminal input when starts,
but does not restore the old mode when finalize.

This small patch saves the old console mode and set it back.

Changes in V2: only reset mode when console handle is valid

Is this a stable@ material?

Thanks,

It should be safe, but I don't think it deserves a stable backport: it
always had that behaviour before.

Well. "It was always wrong" does not mean it shouldn't be fixed, I'd say :)
In my view, a bug is a bug and it's okay to fix it even if it was here since
the day one.

Thanks,
