Convert the window pane (pty master side) fd over to use a bufferevent.
The evbuffer API is very similar to the existing tmux buffer API so this was
remarkably painless. Not many possible ways to do it, I suppose.
Initial changes to move tmux to libevent.
This moves the client-side loops are pretty much fully over to event-based only
(tmux.c and client.c) but server-side (server.c and friends) treats libevent as
a sort of clever poll, waking up after every event to run various things.
Moving the server stuff over to bufferevents and timers and so on will come
later.
Change session and client activity and creation time members to have more
meaningful names.
Also, remove the code to try and update the session activity time for the
command client when a command message is received as is pointless because it
des not have a session.
Split the server code handling clients, jobs and windows off into separate
files from server.c (merging server-msg.c into the client file) and rather than
iterating over each set after poll(), allow a callback to be specified when the
fd is added and just walk once over the returned pollfds calling each callback
where needed.
More to come, getting this in so it is tested.
Add a pipe-pane command to allow a pane to be piped to a shell command, for
example:
pipe-pane 'cat >~/out'
No arguments stops outputing and closes the pipe; the -o flag toggles a pipe
and on and off (useful for key bindings).

Clean up by introducing a wrapper struct for mouse clicks rather than passing
three u_chars around.
As a side-effect this fixes incorrectly rejecting high cursor positions
(because it was comparing them as signed char), reported by Tom Doherty.
Rather than running status-left, status-right and window title #() with popen
immediately every redraw, queue them up and run them in the background,
starting each once every status-interval. The actual status line uses the
output from the last run.
This brings several advantages:
- tmux itself may be called from inside #() without causing the server to hang;
- likewise, sleep or similar doesn't cause the server to block;
- commands aren't run excessively often when redrawing;
- commands shared by status-left and status-right, or used multiple times, will
only be run once.
run-shell and if-shell still use system()/popen() but will be changed over to
use this too later.
New option, mouse-select-pane. If on, the mouse may be used to select the
current pane.
Suggested by sthen@ and also by someone else ages ago who I have forgotten.
Add "grouped sessions" which have independent name, options, current window and
so on but where the linked windows are synchronized (ie creating, killing
windows and so on are mirrored between the sessions). A grouped session may be
created by passing -t to new-session.
Had this around for a while, tested by a couple of people.
Support for individual session idle time locking. May be enabled by turning off
the lock-server option (it is on by default). When this is off, each session
locks when it has been idle for the lock-after-time setting. When on, the
entire server locks when ALL sessions have been idle for their individual
lock-after-time settings.
This replaces one global-only option (lock-after-time) with another
(lock-server), but the default behaviour is usually preferable so there don't
seem to be many alternatives.
Diff/idea largely from Thomas Adam, tweaked by me.
Instead of passing a struct pollfd ** around through various functions, build
them into a tree and then convert into a flat poll array before and after poll.
This adds a little code but should reduce annoying problems with ordering when
adding new things that also need to be polled.
If no target client is specified to commands which accept one, try to guess the
current client, in a similar manner to how sessions already work: if the
current session can be established and has only one client, use that; otherwise
use the most recently created client.
On SIGTERM, just abandon any suspended/locked clients and leave them to it,
otherwise the server will hang around (refusing new connections) until they
exit properly.
Remove the internal tmux locking and instead detach each client and run the
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.
This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.
Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.
This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.
Permit multiple prefix keys to be defined, separated by commas, for example:
set -g prefix ^a,^b
Any key in the list acts as the prefix. The send-prefix command always sends
the first key in the list.
New option, set-titles-string, to allow the window title to be specified (as
for status-left/right) if set-titles is on. Also only update the title when the
status line is being redrawn.
