Rather than trying to force things in via library constructors
and weak symbols and --whole-archive and pkg-config tricks, just
add new functions ncdirect_core_init() and notcurses_core_init().
libnotcurses has ncdirect_init() and notcurses_init(), which pass
through to these. apps linking against notcurses-core ought use
the _core_ variants directly. This gets exactly the linkage we
want, everywhere. Convert many PoCs to _core_ variants. #1301

Extract `libnotcurses-core` from `libnotcurses`. The former contains everything except multimedia code. The latter contains multimedia stuff (a wrapper around FFmpeg or OIIO). If built with `-DUSE_MULTIMEDIA=none`, there will not be any `libnotcurses.so` generated. `libnotcurses.so` uses library constructors/destructors to insert its implementation into the `ncvisual` stack at runtime. Users linking `-lnotcurses` will get the full implementation; users linking `-lnotcurses-core` only will get the stack less multimedia code.
The upshot of this is that someone can compile/install only `libnotcurses-core`, and a program linked against it will work just fine. This eliminates the need to install the full (large) dependency stack of the multimedia code unless necessary. This will hopefully be useful for e.g. installers etc. Closes#339.
I've created the new files src/compat/compat.{hc}. These
are available to all binaries by adding src to the include
directories, and src/compat/compat.c to the sources. Several
functions are implemented here which one or more target
operating systems are missing, right now all related to time.
This includes clock_nanosleep(), which is missing on OS X and
DragonFly BSD. Eliminate the other three definitions of
timespec_to_ns() and friends. Standardize on NANOSECS_IN_SEC
rather than the more opaque GIG. Progress on #1121.
Remove the pre-rendered model.png, a generated output. Add a
dot target to CMake, predicated on USE_DOXYGEN (since we have
REQUIRED dot in our Doxygen spec). Generate the png in the
output path. Rename stacks to piles in model.dot.

The above commit implemented the much more convenient way of finding and
using a package from CMake, however it broke compatibility with the way
id had been before, which defined various `Notcurses_*` variables.
Revert the `Notcurses` component to the old way and add support for
`Notcurses++` in the same fashion.
Perhaps one day we should think of implementing `find_package` support
by way of a module, which should make it possible to have the cake and
eat the cake. One day.
CMake:
Simplify cmake target+version config generation and make it actually
work. With the changes it is now possible to detect and use
`Notcurses` in the following way:
find_package(Notcurses REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE notcurses::notcurses)
Also, added the same CMake configuration for `Notcurses++`, to be used
in the following way:
find_package(Notcurses REQUIRED
find_package(Notcurses++ REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE notcurses++::notcurses++)
Docs:
`notcurses_cell(3)`: `cell_styles_{on,off} -> cell_{on,off}_styles`
and `cell_load_simple` -> `cell_load_char`
C++ API:
* Plane: added constructors taking `ncplane_options const&` instead of
the multitude of individual parameters
* Plane: drop `struct` when `ncplane_options` is used.
* Plane: added `strdup` (`cell_strdup`)
* Plane: added `extract` (`cell_extract`)
