colour ("true" or "direct" colour). These consist of new entries (such
as "xterm-direct") which have a different setaf/setab implementation,
colors and pairs set to 0x1000000 and 0x10000, and a new RGB flag.
The setaf/setab definitions seem to be geared towards what ncurses (or
emacs maybe) needs, in that the new versions do only ANSI and RGB
colours (they can't be used for the 256 colour palette); they rely on
the silly ISO colon-separated version of SGR; and they use a weird
multiplication scheme so they still only need one argument. The higher
values of colors and pairs require a recent ncurses to parse.
tmux can use the RGB flag to detect RGB colour support (keeping the old
Tc extension for backwards compatibility for now). However, as we still
want to send 256 colour information unchanged when possible, the new
setaf/setab are awkward. So when RGB is present, reserve setaf/setab
only for ANSI colours and use the escape sequences directly for 256 and
RGB colours. (To my knowledge no recent terminal uses unusual escape
sequences for these in any case.)

ignores if >= size, not if > as I first thought). So we can't
effectively fix it in code - remove the workarounds which just cause
bugs on other terminals.

much data we send during redraw (we know we will be starting with 0) and
skip the check until it has been flushed. GitHub issue 912.
reasonable amount (currently width * height * 8 bytes), discard all
output to the terminal and start trying to redraw periodically
instead. Continue with this until the amount of data we are trying to
write falls to a low level again.
This helps to prevent tmux sitting on a huge buffer of data when there
are processes with fast output running inside tmux but the outside
terminal is slow.
A new client_discarded format holds the amount of data that has been
discarded due to this mechanism.
The three variables (when to start this, when to stop, and how often to
redraw) are basically "works for me" at the moment, this is going in to
see how it goes and if it causes problems for anyone else.
falls back to an alternative if the tty name is not available. This is
clearer than overloading the client ttyname member and allows us to
remove the path stored in the tty struct, it should always be the same
as the client.
