patch 9.2.0256: visual selection size not shown in showcmd during test

patch 9.2.0256: visual selection size not shown in showcmd during test

Problem: The visual selection size is not displayed in the showcmd area
when entering visual mode from a script or mapping, because
char_avail() incorrectly reports input as pending. This causes
test failure on CI with the ASAN CI runner.
Solution: Replace char_avail() with explicit checks for an empty stuff
buffer, empty typeahead buffer, and not running a script
(zeertzjq).
