As it turns out, we can't portably load the initial terminal contents
(there are some hacks of various EXTREME nature, but none of them are
worth it for the rather limited benefit). The O(1)-time damage
inference requires knowledge of what was previously present to
inibit unnecessary draws. We would then need some special cell value
indicating "not yet written to" to distinguish a purposeful null
cell from an initial cell. Again, we could do this, but for what value?
Finally, the idea of clearing new area on SIGWINCH was always flawed,
as we can't do that from a signal handler.
With the advent of direct mode #77, the reason for this largely goes
away in any case.
* palette_set: update pal256 damage map #230

* xray: eliminate weird color flicker
* witherworm: don't eat wide glyphs
* unit test for boxed glyph
* uniblock: no need to emit so many U+200Es
* witherworm: remove wide glyph hack
When we emit a glyph that has no background pixels (i.e.
the U+2588 FULL BLOCK glyph), there's no need to emit a
background color change.
Eagle demo currently has hand-coded elision. Results from
80x70 runs using the `-c` parameter:
No optimization: 12.63MiB
Hand-optimized: 12.48MiB
New scheme, no hand-coded optimization: 12.45MiB
w00t!
