Subject: feat(term): uniformize word-wise movement and deletion (#2500)

Ctrl-based shortcuts are common in numerous applications.

This change:
- Adds Ctrl+{Left/Right/Backspace/Delete} for word-wise movement/deletion in prompt, picker, …
- Removes Alt-Left and Alt-Right in prompt, picker, …
- Adds Alt-Delete in insert mode for forward word deletion

In some terminals, Alt-Backspace might not work because it is ambigous.
See: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/2193#issuecomment-1105042501
Hence, Alt alternative is not removed.---
