Bug #14691: ANSI Erase in Line not working properly in Windows
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14691

* Author: rsranger65 (Alex Gittemeier)

* ruby -v: ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
When I run the following commands in either the Windows 10 Command Prompt

~~~
ruby -e 'puts "Hello world!\e[D\e[D\e[K\nWhat is up?"'
ruby -e 'puts "Hello world!\e[D\e[D\e[0K\nWhat is up?"'
ruby -e 'puts "Hello world!\e[D\e[D\e[1K\nWhat is up?"'
~~~

I expect to get the same output as from:

~~~
printf "Hello world!\\e[D\\e[D\\e[K\nWhats up?\n"
printf "Hello world!\\e[D\\e[D\\e[0K\nWhats up?\n"
printf "Hello world!\\e[D\\e[D\\e[1K\nWhats up?\n"
~~~

Which is:

~~~
Hello worl
Whats up?
Hello worl
Whats up?
           !
Whats up?
~~~

But instead I get:

~~~
          d!
What is up?
          d!
What is up?
          d!
What is up?
~~~

The same behavior occurs in PowerShell as well, with appropriate changes to escaping (escaping the double quotes in the ruby code).

It appears that for the `CSI [n] K` sequences, n=0 (the default) and n=1 are doing the same operation and that n=1 has an off by one error

Windows version: Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299
