Interactive terminal prompts.

The :mod:`~humanfriendly.prompts` module enables interaction with the user
(operator) by asking for confirmation (:func:`prompt_for_confirmation()`) and
asking to choose from a list of options (:func:`prompt_for_choice()`). It works
by rendering interactive prompts on the terminal.
