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.

9ca8d9c9c6 Correctly cast ncpp::Plane to ncplane*
Fixes: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/616

SIGSEGV was caused by an invalid cast.

Short explanation: PEBKAC

Long explanation: `Selector.hh`, `Plot.hh` and `MultiSelector.hh` did
not include `Plane.hh`, they merely declared `class Plane;` because
inclusion of `Plane.hh` would cause circular dependencies to appear and
the compiler would be unhappy.  On top of that, yours truly wrenched the
compiler's hands and caused it to believe that a pointer to `Plane` is
really a pointer to `ncplane*` which was quite a silly thing to do as
the compiler, not having included `Plane.hh` and thus not knowing full
definition of the type, wasn't able to look up the type cast operator in
`Plane`.

Don't abuse `reinterpret_cast`, kids!
