change-time: Complete input with Enter, allow Backspace, don't require leading zeroes

Browse Source 
Allow Backspace in input.  It's really frustrating otherwise if a typo
cannot be corrected, and worse, the backspace key actually produces a
character that becomes part of the input.

Complete input with Enter.  It is surprising when the script just
moves on right away once a fourth/second digit is entered, and worse,
users expecting to press Enter could reasonably press it before
realizing the script did not require it, which then skips the _next_
prompt inadvertently.  Users with imperfect typing might double a
digit unintentionally, do not force them to proceed with an incorrect
value.

Removing '-n $digits' from read does both of those.  Add '-r' so
backslashes do not have unexpected behavior.

Don't require leading zeroes, zero-pad automatically.
