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.
* palette_set: update pal256 damage map #230

* sync up some docs #244
* sync README and man page
* notcurses_output() man page work
* pull attr/channels from output functions #244
* witherworm: clean up explicit moves #244
* still more man page work
* notcurses_lines, last of the man pages i think
* panelreel man page #244
* debian: ruby-ronn->pandoc

* fm6.mkv: strip audio
* pandoc: fix up apropos man syntax #249
* ncurses_lines man page
* higher planes stomp wide glyphs
* broken unit test
* develop out widestomp PoC
* fix notcurses_at_yx()
* fix up dig_visible_cell() return value
* refuse wide glyph on last column #242

* 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!
