bug#39627: [PATCH] Skip shell prompt on current line even if it's protected

[Steven Allen]

* lisp/eshell/em-prompt.el (eshell-previous-prompt): Really go to the
beginning of the line, even if it's protected.

When the eshell prompt is protected (e.g., with rear non-sticky,
inhibited movements, etc.), `beginning-of-line' won't move to the
actual beginning of the line and therefore won't skip over the
prompt.  This change simply switches to (forward-line 0).
