together instead of handling them one by one. This is significantly
faster. Sequences are terminated when we reach the end of the line, fill
the internal buffer, or a different character is seen by the input
parser (an escape sequence, or UTF-8).
Rather than writing collected sequences out immediately, hold them until
it is necessary (another screen modification, or we consume all
available data). This means we can discard changes that would have no
effect (for example, lines that would just be scrolled off the screen or
cleared). This reduces the total amount of data we write out to the
terminal - not important for fast terminals, but a big help with slow
(like xterm).
sequences (notable EL and ED but also IL, DL, ICH, DCH) create blank
cells using the current background colour rather than the default
colour.
On modern systems BCE doesn't really have many benefits, but most other
terminals now support it, some (lazy) applications rely on it, and it is
not hard to include now that we have pane background colours anyway.

instead track them as change (dirty) and update them once at the end,
saves much time if repeatedly writing the same cell. Also fix comparison
of cells being equal in a few places (memcmp is not enough).
wasting unnecessary space. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external
TERM entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry), if not
tmux will map to the closest of the 256 or 16 colour palettes.

of storing a full grid_cell with UTF-8 data and everything, store a new
type grid_cell_entry. This can either be the cell itself (for ASCII
cells), or an offset into an extended array (per line) for UTF-8
data.
This avoid a large (8 byte) overhead on non-UTF-8 cells (by far the
majority for most users) without the complexity of the shadow array we
had before. Grid memory without any UTF-8 is about half.
The disadvantage that cells can no longer be modified in place and need
to be copied out of the grid and back but it turned out to be lot less
complicated than I expected.
the destination celldata pointer rather than leaving a stale copy of the
source pointer (which may later be freed). Fixes a crash found by
Kuang-che Wu.
options with a single foo-style option. For example:
set -g status-fg yellow
set -g status-bg red
set -g status-attr blink
Becomes:
set -g status-style fg=yellow,bg=red,blink
The -a flag to set can be used to add to rather than replace a style. So:
set -g status-bg red
Becomes:
set -ag status-style bg=red
Currently this is fully backwards compatible (all *-{fg,bg,attr} options
remain) but the plan is to deprecate them over time.

allowed it to be bigger), and use clear line/EOL sequences rather than spaces
in copy/scroll mode.
This fixes xterm copy/paste from tmux which treats trailing spaces differently
from clearing a line with the escape sequences. Reported by martynas@.
buffer_ensure in buffer.c; expand grid lines by a greater increase than one
each time; and don't read UTF-8 data unless it actually needs to be checked
when overwriting a cell.
