The problem is caused by ncurses library rendering only 1000 lines, while
it's possible that we have long messages in the buffer.
Current buffer limit is 200 messages, with just average size of message
of 10 lines, ncurses buffer is being overflown and we render only part
of the message. This causing a problem of "underscrolling": user is unable
to scroll to the top or bottom and he is stuck somewhere in the middle
of the history.
It's not a permanent solution, but rather a temporary fix before
introducing line-counting which will align Profanity's message buffer size
in **lines** with ncurses' limits. It might be even adjustable setting
in the future.
The problem was caused by a faulty logic that 1 message = 1 line and
it's a second try to address it, the try earlier was
ea39657b0a.
Refactor getting char, introduce get_show_char() to follow DRY principle.
In theory, performance might be negatively affected after this change.
Ideally get_show_char should be optimized in the future.

Explanation
The problem is the download's identifier. Downloads are given an ID so they can be referenced later when their progress changes. Currently, the download's ID is the download's URL. When you download the same file twice, you have two downloads with the same ID. Download progress updates are shown on the first of both downloads with the same ID.
Solution
Change the download's ID from its URL to a random number. A random ID is generated when get_random_string() is called from cmd_funcs.c. Several other functions are updated to cope with the new ID format.

Type `>` then press tab or shift tab to autocomplete previous messages,
then type your reply and send message.
Newlines are replaced with newline followed by `> `.
A newline is added at the end so that the user can immediately type a
message without manually adding a new line.
- Add NetBSD as a recognized platform without -ldl.
- Allow building with NetBSD libcurses instead of ncurses.
- Portability to NetBSD sh - use POSIX '=' instead of '=='.
In aa3693daa211b36c78d136d5a1ee9f3258e21352 I renamed
`win_println_me_message()` -> `win_print_outgoing_muc_msg()`.
Now: `win_println_them_message()` -> `win_println_incoming_muc_msg()`
to be more consistent and descriptive.
Probably missing copy of body to plain in carbon and privmessage.
Only covers the incoming message path because goal is OMEMO decryption
of untrusted message.
Cover some of the log functions but not all.
