The active terminal screen is no longer an array of `unsigned long'
encoding 16-bit Unicode plus 16 attribute bits. Now it's an array of
`termchar' structures, which currently have 32-bit Unicode and 32
attribute bits but which will probably expand further in future.
To prevent bloat of the memory footprint, I've introduced a mostly
RLE-like compression scheme for storing scrollback: each line is
compressed into a compact (but hard to modify) form when it moves
into the term->scrollback tree, and is temporarily decompressed when
the user wants to scroll back over it. My initial tests suggest that
this compression averages about 1/4 of the previous (32 bits per
character cell) data size in typical output, which means this is an
improvement even without counting the new ability to extend the
information stored in each character cell.
Another beneficial side effect is that the insane format in which
Unicode was passed to front ends through do_text() has now been
rendered sane.
Testing is incomplete; this _may_ still have instabilities. Windows
and Unix front ends both seem to work as far as I've looked, but I
haven't yet looked very hard. The Mac front end I've edited (it
seemed obvious how to change it) but I can't compile or test it.
As an immediate functional effect, the terminal emulator now
supports full 32-bit Unicode to whatever extent the host platform
allows it to. For example, if you output a 4-or-more-byte UTF-8
character in Unix pterm, it will not display it properly, but it
will correctly paste it back out in a UTF8_STRING selection. Windows
is more restricted, sadly.

- new function platform_get_x_display() to find a sensible local display.
On Unix, the Gtk apps weren't taking account of --display when
determining where to send forwarded X traffic.
- explicitly document that leaving X display location blank in config tries
to do something sensible (and that it's now blank by default)
- don't override X11Display setting in plink, since that's more properly
done later

by default (although they can be included). There's also an option to remove
session data, which is good both for privacy and for reducing the size of
logfiles.

enable login with this version. (I'd suspected as much -- see ssh.c CVS
log 1.299 [r3359] -- and Geoffrey Hughes has now confirmed this.)

when talking to SOCKS 5 proxies. Configures itself transparently (if
the proxy offers CHAP it will use it, otherwise it falls back to
ordinary cleartext passwords).

and "plink user@host" differed in that the former attempted to load session
`host' while the latter didn't. Now both forms attempt to load a session.
Someone will probably complain, but hey.

truncated - it was from OpenSSH on HP/UX and had all sorts of stuff in it
("last successful login" etc).
Bodged it by bumping up the space allocated in the fixed array for a password
prompt. Also added an indication that the prompt is being truncated, as
required by draft-ietf-secsh-auth-kbdinteract-06.
(NB that before this checkin, there was a more-or-less harmless buffer overread
where if we ever received a keyboard-interactive prompt with echo=1, we'd
probably spew goo on the terminal; fixed now.)

forwarded X11 connection is now logged as well as the closing; but we also
log the peer IP/port in case it's interesting, and log the reason for
refusing to honour a channel open.

`all session data' modes, without completely mauling the performance, by
fflush()ing once per term_out(). If anyone complains I suppose we can
make this optional.
