to call _either_ do_text() _or_ do_cursor() on a given character
cell. In fact you're supposed to call do_text() no matter what, and
then call do_cursor() as well if it's got the cursor on it, since
do_cursor() _only_ draws the actual cursor, which often doesn't also
cause the text to get drawn.
I'm half tempted to change this in the interface, retire do_cursor()
as an external function and relegate it to an internal function in
each front end, and require that do_text() must fully process all
cursor attributes it is passed. However, I haven't done this yet.

the start of every contiguous run passed to do_text() or
do_cursor(), and arranges never to overwrite only part of such a run
on the next update.
I'm a bit worried about this checkin because I've also completely
revamped cursor handling: the cursor was previously being drawn
_outside_ the main loop over the display line, and is now drawn as
part of that loop when it gets to the cursor location. It _seems_ to
still work sensibly, even in complex cases involving LATTR_WIDE and
double-width CJK characters etc, but I won't be entirely happy until
it's had some beta use.

going through the line and working out which bits need to be redrawn
is now in a separate loop from the subsequent activity of actually
going through and doing the redraws. This _should_ enable me to
tinker with the which-bits-to-redraw data in between the two, thus
fixing `font-overflow'. However, I thought it would be sensible to
break the work up into two commits so we can track bugs in the
restructuring separately from bugs introduced by the new feature.
Also added a couple more terminal test files.

Infrastructure change: term->has_focus should now not be written

term_set_focus, which will sort out the blink timers as well.

which pretty much any module can call to request a call-back in the
future. So terminal.c can do its own handling of blinking, visual
bells and deferred screen updates, without having to rely on
term_update() being called 50 times a second (fixes: pterm-timer);
and ssh.c and telnet.c both invoke a new module pinger.c which takes
care of sending keepalives, so they get sent uniformly in all front
ends (fixes: plink-keepalives, unix-keepalives).

array of each `termline' structure now contains optional additional
entries after the normal number of columns, which are used to chain
a linked list of combining characters off any primary termchar that
needs it. This means we support arbitrarily many combining
characters per cell (unlike xterm's hard limit of 2).
Cut and paste works correctly (selecting a character cell containing
multiple code points causes all those code points to be cut and
pasted). Display works by simply overlaying all the relevant
characters on top of one another; this is good enough for Unix
(xterm does the same thing), and mostly seems OK for Windows except
that the Windows Unicode fonts have a nasty habit of not containing
most of the combining characters and thus overlaying an
unknown-code-point box on your perfectly good base glyph.
I had no idea how to add support in the Mac do_text(), so I've
simply stuck in an assertion that will trigger the first time a
combining character is displayed, and hopefully this will bite
someone with the clue to fix it.

The active terminal screen is no longer an array of `unsigned long'
encoding 16-bit Unicode plus 16 attribute bits. Now it's an array of
`termchar' structures, which currently have 32-bit Unicode and 32
attribute bits but which will probably expand further in future.
To prevent bloat of the memory footprint, I've introduced a mostly
RLE-like compression scheme for storing scrollback: each line is
compressed into a compact (but hard to modify) form when it moves
into the term->scrollback tree, and is temporarily decompressed when
the user wants to scroll back over it. My initial tests suggest that
this compression averages about 1/4 of the previous (32 bits per
character cell) data size in typical output, which means this is an
improvement even without counting the new ability to extend the
information stored in each character cell.
Another beneficial side effect is that the insane format in which
Unicode was passed to front ends through do_text() has now been
rendered sane.
Testing is incomplete; this _may_ still have instabilities. Windows
and Unix front ends both seem to work as far as I've looked, but I
haven't yet looked very hard. The Mac front end I've edited (it
seemed obvious how to change it) but I can't compile or test it.
As an immediate functional effect, the terminal emulator now
supports full 32-bit Unicode to whatever extent the host platform
allows it to. For example, if you output a 4-or-more-byte UTF-8
character in Unix pterm, it will not display it properly, but it
will correctly paste it back out in a UTF8_STRING selection. Windows
is more restricted, sadly.

Assertion was originally added 2002-03-01; e.g., see plink.c:1.53 [r1571].
I believe this now shouldn't break anything.

screen'. Now it also disables the save-and-restore-cursor behaviour
of ESC[?1048h and ESC[?1049h, since these sequences seem to be
output by software trying to switch to the alternate screen, and it
looks very odd to have the cursor position restored to where it was
before `less' when the garbage `less' wrote all over the screen is
still around. The `traditional' ESC 7 and ESC 8 still function as
normal, on the basis that they aren't usually used in conjunction
with the alternate screen. I'm not sure whether this will be the
right decision; I'm prepared to change it back if a sufficiently
serious counterexample shows up.

of PuTTY (terminal, backend, logctx etc) take a `void *' handle
passed to them from the frontend, and used as a context for all
their callbacks. Most of these point at the frontend structure
itself (on platforms where this is meaningful), except that the
handle passed to the backend has always pointed at the terminal
because from_backend() was implemented in terminal.c. This has
finally bitten Unix PuTTY, because both backend and logctx have
been passing their respective and very different frontend handles to
logevent(), so I've fixed it.
from_backend() is now a function supplied by the _frontend_ itself,
in all cases, and the frontend handle passed to backends must be the
same as that passed to everything else. What was from_backend() in
terminal.c is now called term_data(), and the typical implementation
of from_backend() in a GUI frontend will just extract the terminal
handle from the frontend structure and delegate to that.
This appears to work on Unix and Windows, but has most likely broken
the Mac build.

being able to be a PuTTY as well as a pterm. In the process I've
also moved icky things like actually reading from the pty fd and
printing the `terminated on signal' messages into pty.c where they
obviously should have been in the first place. Also there's been one
interesting repercussion in the terminal code: terminal.c's
from_backend now calls term_out() directly rather than expecting the
front end to call it afterwards. This has had the entertaining side
effect of fixing a Windows-specific bug whereby activity in a port
forwarding through a PuTTY with a blinking cursor caused the cursor
to blink to ON (!!!!). So, a surprisingly far-reaching checkin as it
turns out...

allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.
