ignore when breaking text into runs for display, and implement setting this
on Mac (other ports just use 0xffffffff).
We don't use DeviceLoop for this any more because Apple Technical Q&A
QA1024 says we shouldn't. Unlike their example, we don't depend on the
Display Manager's being present either.

absent, and also (I think) all the frontend request functions (such
as request_resize) take a context pointer, so that multiple windows
can be handled sensibly. I wouldn't swear to this, but I _think_
that only leaves the Unicode stuff as the last stubborn holdout.

each backend now stores all its internal variables in a big struct,
and each backend function gets a pointer to this struct passed to
it. This still isn't the end of the work - lots of subsidiary things
still use globals, notably all the cipher and compressor modules and
the X11 forwarding authentication stuff. But ssh.c itself has now
been transformed, and that was the really painful bit, so from here
on it all ought to be a sequence of much smaller and simpler pieces
of work.
