_getwch loops calling ReadConsoleInput until a key event is read. The
key can be typed manually in the console, or posted (i.e. PostMessage,
not SendMessage) to the console window as a WM_KEYDOWN message, or the
key event can be written directly to the input buffer via
WriteConsoleInput.

_kbhit calls PeekConsoleInput to scan for key events without removing
them from the input buffer. This call does not block.
