Stop escape key from pausing game

Stopped the escape key from pausing the game as per bug #631804.

[Josh Brown (joshbrown)]

Works for me, just worried that doing something like this may be erroneous/unportable.

I have a feeling python will mangle the output on different systems. I read something about that on the 'os' module so it should be portable. One thing i'd add is to revert the change back to the default of 1000ms after we exit for uses in other applications. Otherwise it looks good to me

Revert to original ESCDELAY when program ends

[Tom Bell (bushbaby2511)]

This looks fine to me if it hasn't be already merged
