Bug description:when using readline_info to set line_buffer, it causes memory 
corruption

Description:
------------
Using the function readline_info to set the property "line_buffer" performs
a 
direct setting of readline rl_line_buffer. It works for short lived scripts
but 
for longer ones, they start to crash randomly with sig violations.
The proper way for libreadline is to use rl_replace_line to set the line
buffer.

In addition, readline_info does not allow you to set "point" and "end"
properties 
that are needed when changing line_buffer.

I've included a patch that fixes the setting of "line_buffer" and adds the

ability to set both "point" and "end" properties.

Test script:
---------------
None. Random crashes.

Expected result:
----------------
None.


Actual result:
--------------
None.
