F1 through F5 don't get captured on Raspberry Pi (And likely other Debian OSes) #78

I have Debian on my beaglebone black, we can test on that to verify.

I am wondering if we can do something custom to make the function keys work. Instead of relying on the GoCui library (which uses termbox-go), we could try capturing those keys ourselves...

I am not able to reproduce on my BeagleBone Black, which is running Debian GNU/Linux 9.6. Likely something weird is going on with Raspbian and/or the keyboard drivers.

See the following. We may want to test the termbox-go raw input demo to see what bytes are actually being captured with F1 through F5.
