Heh. My new UHD monitor makes it easy to have more than 127 lines of
text. I guess the 'char' could be an unsigned char, but quite frankly,
trying to save a couple of bytes per open editor window seems a bit
excessive these days. So just make it 'int'.

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.

The TAB handling got broken by commit cee00b0efb ("Show UTF-8 input as

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.

ttgetc() used some homebrew utf8 to unicode translation, limited to just
the normal latin1 characters. Use the utf8 helper functions to get it
right for the more complex cases.
NOTE! We don't actually handle characters > 0xff right anyway. And we
still end up doing Latin1 in the buffers on input. One small step at a
time.

Ok, so it may do odd things if it's not truly utf-8, and when moving up
and down lines that have utf-8 the cursor moves oddly (because the byte
offset within the line stays constant, rather than the character
offset), but with this you can actually open the UTF8 example file and
move around it, and at least some of the movement makes sense.

Let's just plan on being fully utf8 some day. We're not there yet, and

.. by doing the stupid "convert to unicode value and back" model.
This actually populates the 'struct video' array with the unicode
values, so UTF8 input actually shows correctly. In particular, the nice
test-file (UTF-8-demo.txt) shows up not as garbage, but as the UTF-8 it
is.
HOWEVER!
Since the *editing* doesn't know about UTF-8, and considers it just a
stream of bytes, the end result is not actually a usable utf-8 editor.
So don't get too excited yet: this is just a partial step to "actually
edit utf8 data"
NOTE NOTE NOTE! If the character buffer contains Latin1, we will
transform that Latin1 to unicode, and then output it as UTF8. And we
will edit it correctly as the character-by-character data. Also, we
still do the "UTF8 to Latin1" translation on *input*, so with this
commit we can actually continue to *edit* Latin1 text.

This is disgusting. And quite frankly, it's debatable whether this will
ever work. The "line" structure is still just an array of characters,
so that has to work with utf-8.
But the 'struct video' thing is what represents the actual screen
rectangle, and is fixed-size by the size of the screen. So making it
contain actual 32-bit unicode characters *may* make sense.
Right now we translate things the same way we always used to, though, so
utf-8 in 'struct line' will not be translated to the proper unicode
array, but to the bytes of the utf-8 representation. So this really
doesn't improve anything per se yet, just expands the memory use of the
video array.

I'm not 100% sure we really should even be doing this whole "keyboard"
open/close for termcap, but even if the right thing to do ends up being
to just do everything in the TTopen/TTclose (and make TTkopen/TTkclose
no-ops), it does seem to be the right thing to do.

It seems to have something to do with some old DOS mode, and not having
keyboard translation on ("Insert floppy A:" questions while opening
files? Whatever). But this is while doing normal file opens, and it is
just insane to open/close a tty across a file open.
The possible tty init/exit sequence would mess up some of the file
read/write messages.

The 'tcapkopen()' function re-initializes the terminal with the 'ti'
sequence, which for most sane termcap entries is just empty. But for
'xterm', that seems to actually be a real control sequence (clear and
reset?), and we'd better tell display.c that the screen is now garbage
and needs to be re-drawn.
Also, make tcapkclose() match the 'ti' (terminal init) with a 'te'
(terminal exit).
Maybe we should just stop playing games with ti/te, but this at least
improves the situation a bit.
