Get rid of annoying empty line in notcurses-view (and ncvisuals at offsets in general)
Implement most of the Selector widget. Need to add styling and scrolling still. #166
Reenable ubuntu focal build
Subtitles! We decode them, and display them in notcurses-view. If ncvisual_simple_streamer() is provided an extra ncplane, it will use it to display subtitles. #95
We now build Python by default, as things are working much better.
ncplane_set_base() now takes channel, attrword, and EGC, so you can usually avoid having to set up and release a cell. ncplane_set_base_cell() takes over duty from ncplane_set_base() for ease of conversion.
notcurses-demo and notcurses-view now both accept a 0 for delay multiplier, meaning 'go as fast as you possibly can'. Very small multipliers (e.g. 0.00001) no longer cause floating point exceptions.
fading routines no longer cause floating point exceptions on very small timescales.
Introduce the new type 'ncdirect', a stripped-down 'notcurses'
suitable for inline modification of regular output. Used the new
type because otherwise there were going to be if(directmode) checks
everywhere. Direct mode encompasses only colorizing and styling.
Add new man page notcurses_directmode(3). Add new section to README.
Add new PoC using direct mode RGB. Update demo table summary to use
direct mode.
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.

Request and parse up mouse messages. We handle up to 11 mouse
buttons, 3 modifiers (currently thrown away), motion while
holding down a button, and loss/gain of focus. I've added twelve
new NCKEYs: one for each button, and one for release. In addition,
I've introduced the 'ncinput' struct, which encodes the nckey plus
extra data. The only extra data thus far is coordinates for mouse
events. It is not necessary to provide a ncinput to all input
functions; NULL can be provided if the caller doesn't care about
details. All demos are updated. notcurses-input has been updated
to decode full information of returned ncinputs.
The primary resource for this work was Dickey at al's "XTerm Control
Sequences", https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html.

While ncurses 6.1 adds the `RGB` capability to terminfo, the flag is not
commonly used in terminfo entries as of now. The `COLORTERM` environment
variable is, otoh, commonly present and set to either `truecolor` or
`24bit` value by terminal emulators which support direct color.
Add a check for this if `RGB` is false (or absent)
With this check in I was able to properly appreciate the awesomeness of
notcurses demos :)
* boxdemo: clean up colors
* Fix crash on certain resizes due to corruption of damage map #152
* Rewrite ncplane_move_yx(), throwing out ~25 line of code
* implement notcurses_refresh() #150
Implement a fairly conservative, line-granularity, two-level damage map. One on the overall notcurses object is dirtied by planar moves, creations, deletions, and resizes. One on each ncplane is dirtied by glyph output, media rendering, fades, and erasure. #83 This has some definite false positives: a hidden plane which moves will damage a bunch of lines unnecessarily. For now, don't do things like that :D.
Extra byte per line per plane, shouldn't be a problem.
Two new stats for cell elisions and emissions
Allow keypress to interrupt view-demo
ncvisual_stream() now allows a callback per frame
Allow ncvisual_open() to create its own, perfectly-sized, ncplane #128

on netcurses-demo, we're eliding about half of the total cells via this damage map. that's pretty fucking sweet! FPS increase of about 50% -- I'll take that any day of the fuckin' week, boyo. w00t!
