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.

This uses the four high bits for the meta and control key sequences.
This means that we will be limiting our Unicode space to 28 bits, but
that's more than we really need.
It *would* be nicer if we just used the sign bit to mark "we have meta
character information") but that would require bigger changes. And we
really don't need to worry about 30-bit unicode. Small steps, remember.

Let's just plan on being fully utf8 some day. We're not there yet, and
maybe we'll never be, but having the halfway mode is not useful either.

This constant is used only there, so there is no reason for it to be
in estruct.h
