Yes, yes, it probably made sense 30 years ago as a way to save a tiny
amount of memory, but especially when interspersed in structures that
have pointers (aligned to 64 bits these days), it's not even saving
memory today. And it makes us fail in nasty ways when looking at files
with long lines.
So just make them 'int'. And if you have a line that is longer than
2GB, you only have yourself to blame. I no longer care.
In case anybody care, the "test-case" for this was a lovely UDDF file
with a binary divecomputer dump encoded as an XML element. Resulting in
a lovely 41kB single line. Not what poor micro-emacs was designed for,
I'm afraid.
I really should just learn another editor, rather than continue to
polish this turd.

llength() is currently a 'short' which can overflow and result in signed
numbers if line lengths are larger than 32k. We'll fix the overflow
separately, but before we do that, just use a signed int to hold the
value so that we don't overrun memory allocations when we converted that
negative number to a large positive unsigned integer.

For some reason I had limited things to 0xffff, it really should be 0x10ffff.
We don't actually support a full 32-bit unicode model anyway, since we
use the high bits for the control/meta/^X/special bits, but there was no
reason to limit things to 16 bits when we had 28 bits available. And
the real limit for real Unicode characters is 0x10ffff.
Add a silly example character past the 16-bit range to the UTF8 demo
file:
'SMILING FACE WITH HALO' (U+1F607)
from the 'emoticons' block.

These functions convert the byte offset into the column number
(getccol()) and vice versa (getgoal()).
Getting this right means that moving up and down the text gets us the
right columns, rather than moving randomly left and right when you move
up and down. We also won't end up in the middle of a utf-8 character,
because we're not just moving into some random byte offset, we're moving
into a proper column.

This re-introduces vtputc() as the way to show characters, which
reinstates the control character handing, and simplifies show_line() in
the process.
vtputc now takes an "int" that is either a unicode character or a signed
char (so negative values in the range [-1, -128] are considered to be
the same as [128, 255]). This allows us to use it regardless of what
the source of data is.

This makes actual basic editing work. Including things like
justify-paragraph etc, so lines get justified by number of UTF8
characters rather than bytes.
There are probably tons of broken stuff left, but this actually seems to
get the basics working right.

This makes it possible to cut-and-paste the UTF8 testfile into a new
buffer, and the end result looks correct.
NOTE! We still do various things wrong while editing. For example,
while the cursor movements were fixed, simple things like deleting a
character still work on single bytes, rather than utf8 characters.
So while this is getting much closer to actually editing UTF-8 data,
it's not there yet.
