This drops the libsystemd-terminal and systemd-consoled code for various
reasons:
* It's been sitting there unfinished for over a year now and won't get
finished any time soon.
* Since its initial creation, several parts need significant rework: The
input handling should be replaced with the now commonly used libinput,
the drm accessors should coordinate the handling of mode-object
hotplugging (including split connectors) with other DRM users, and the
internal library users should be converted to sd-device and friends.
* There is still significant kernel work required before sd-console is
really useful. This includes, but is not limited to, simpledrm and
drmlog.
* The authority daemon is needed before all this code can be used for
real. And this will definitely take a lot more time to get done as
no-one else is currently working on this, but me.
* kdbus maintenance has taken up way more time than I thought and it has
much higher priority. I don't see me spending much time on the
terminal code in the near future.
If anyone intends to hack on this, please feel free to contact me. I'll
gladly help you out with any issues. Once kdbus and authorityd are
finished (whenever that will be..) I'll definitely pick this up again. But
until then, lets reduce compile times and maintenance efforts on this code
and drop it for now.

Hook up SM/RM 47/1047-1049 and enable alternate screen buffers for term
applications.
(David: rebased on top of -git, renamed helpers and added docs)

Terminal state can be saved/restored by applications. To simplify our
internal handling, put all affected state into a separate object.
Especially with alternate screen buffers, this will simplify our code
significantly.

7BIT mode is enabled by default. Fix the comment to state this correctly.
|
|
Like all the other parts of libsystemd-terminal, split API of
term-internal.h into term.h so we can use it from systemd-consoled.

The screen-layer represents the terminal-side (compared to the host-side).
It connects term_parser with term_page and implements all the required
control sequences.
We do not implement all available control sequences. Even though our
parser recognizes them, there is no need to handle them. Most of them are
legacy or unused. We try to be as compatible to xterm, so if we missed
something, we can implement it later. However, all the VT510 / VT440 stuff
can safely be skipped (who needs terminal macros? WTF?).
The keyboard-handling is still missing. It will be added once
systemd-console is available and we pulled in the key-definitions.

The term-parser is used to parse any input from TTY-clients. It reads CSI,
DCS, OSC and ST control sequences and normal escape sequences. It doesn't
do anything with the parsed data besides detecting the sequence and
returning it. The caller has to react to them.
The parser also comes with its own UTF-8 helpers. The reason for that is
that we don't want to assert() or hard-fail on parsing errors. Instead,
we treat any invalid UTF-8 sequences as ISO-8859-1. This allows pasting
invalid data into a terminal (which cannot be controlled through the TTY,
anyway) and we still deal with it in a proper manner.
This is _required_ for 8-bit and 7-bit DEC modes (including the g0-g3
mappings), so it's not just an ugly fallback because we can (it's still
horribly ugly but at least we have an excuse).

The page-layer is a one-dimensional array of lines. Combined with the
one-dimensional lines, you get a two-dimensional page. However, both
implementations, lines and pages only deal with their own dimension. That
means, lines don't know anything about other lines, and pages don't know
anything about cells.
Apart from pages, this also introduces history objects. A history object
is a scroll-back buffer. As some pages like alt-buffers don't have
histories, we keep them separate.
Pages itself forward all cell-related operations to the related line. Only
line-related operations are directly handled by the page. This is mostly
scrolling and history. To support proper resizing, we also keep a
fill-state just like lines do for cells.

There're 3 supported color-modes: term-color-codes, 256-color-code and
rgb-color. We now use the term-color as default so zero(attr) will do what
you'd expect. Furthermore, we split rgb and 256color so users can forward
them properly without requiring an internal RGB converter.
Furthermore, a "hidden" field according to VT510rm manual is added.

This commit introduces libsystemd-ui, a systemd-internal helper library
that will contain all the UI related functionality. It is going to be used
by systemd-welcomed, systemd-consoled, systemd-greeter and systemd-er.
Further use-cases may follow.
For now, this commit only adds terminal-page handling based on lines only.
Follow-up commits will add more functionality.
