(internal-echo-keystrokes-prefix): New function.
(prefix-command--needs-update, prefix-command--last-echo): New vars.
(prefix-command-update, prefix-command-preserve): New functions.
(reset-this-command-lengths): New compatibility definition.
(universal-argument--mode): Call prefix-command-update.
(universal-argument, universal-argument-more, negative-argument)
(digit-argument): Call prefix-command-preserve-state.

* src/keyboard.c: Call internal-echo-keystrokes-prefix to build
the "prefix argument" to echo.
(this_command_key_count_reset, before_command_key_count)
(before_command_echo_length): Delete variables.
(echo_add_key): Always add a space.
(echo_char): Remove.
(echo_dash): Don't give up when this_command_key_count is 0, since that
is now the case after a prefix command.
(echo_update): New function, extracted from echo_now.
(echo_now): Use it.
(add_command_key, read_char, record_menu_key): Remove old disabled code.
(command_loop_1): Don't refrain from pushing an undo boundary when
prefix-arg is set.  Remove other prefix-arg special case, now handled
directly in the prefix commands instead.  But call echo_now if there's
a prefix state to echo.

(read_key_sequence): Use echo_now rather than echo_dash/echo_char.
(Freset_this_command_lengths): Delete function.

Update accordingly.
