`test_pdb` times out on FreeBSD

[encukou]

Bug report

test.test_pdb.PdbTestReadline.test_multiline_indent_completion times out, e.g. here.

@gaogaotiantian said:

the test needs to backspace a few times to simulate dedent and \x08 is not picked up in FreeBSD. It's more of a "how can we simulate backspace(delete) on FreeBSD for tests" problem. The code itself is fine.

I wrote #133566 to skip the two tests on FreeBSD.
