Marek Habersack a29bfe9c42 [C++] Deal with widgets grabbing full ownership of Panel
Fixes: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/1009

Whenever a widget is created with its `*_create` function it currently
claims full ownership of the passed panel, including its destruction.
However, the C++ wrapper around the panel is not aware of this and will
attempt to destroy the native panel in the destructor, leading to
segfaults.

Fix this by introduction of a `Widget` class which contains the logic to
properly modify the `Panel` instance to not double-destroy the native
panel.  The solution is a bit fragile since the `Panel` instance is left
intact (we can't free it for the user) in a state that's safe for the
C++ wrapper, but calling any C function via the wrapper **will** pass a
`NULL` pointer in the panel argument - therefore the C functions MUST be
proofed against this.  The proofing belongs in the C backend code since
this protects also C and other language binding users from such abuse.

The Widget class will first verify that the passed `Plane` instance
hasn't already been "disowned" and will throw an exception to the effect
if it was.  Next, it will proceed to take over ownership of the native
panel instance and mark the passed `Panel` as "invalid" (i.e. not owning
any native panel instance anymore)

The above changes require modification of `Panel` instances and so all
the widget constructors taking `const*` or `const&` have been removed
from widget classes.

Marek Habersack b5d8549bb3 [C++] Allow multiple instances of `NotCurses`
This is to make it possible, in the future, to create multiple instances
of `NotCurses` for multiple terminals.  The first instance of
`NotCurses` becomes the default one, so that any instances of other
classes that aren't explicitly created with a pointer to another
`NotCurses` instance still work as expected.

Note that currently trying to call `notcurses_init` twice results in the
following error for me:

    0x55555559bfc0 is already registered for signals
    Couldn't drop signals: 0x55555559bfc0 != 0x5555555b6720
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ncpp::init_error*'

    Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

The error is signalled by `setup_signals` and the pointer shown in the
message points to the first `struct notcurses` instance created.
