Add three new commands to the input mode for "find" and friends:

"delend" (CTRL-K) deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup"
searches upwards in the command history for an input that starts
with the text before the cursor. "incsearchdown" does the same
downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of the x key to "delete".
