This allows easy copy/paste without scrollback hacks on BBSs that
insist on taking over the mouse just so you can move the mouse and
click a character rather than press one key because it's 3l337..

When using $^, all the auto-dependencies are included in the link
command-line, which includes sbj.c and all the .h files, causing
the link to fail if dependencies exist.

This won't matter now since only one thread ever touches it, but
when cool stuff happens, it could.

This allows ALT-B from dialing directory to show the last seen
thing, not the extra blank screen added to the end.

Doesn't fix anything, but a huge QoL improvement for people who use
ALT-B after disconnecting.

Fixes issue 124 on Sourceforge.

The column-width of UNICODE 'zero-width' character is now autodetected. This
property allows one to use/change this autodetected width (normally 0 or 1).

Reduces the time after a forced hangup that you need to wait before
returning to the main menu.

at least three times since we enabled the test suite.  The odds
of that happening *should* be one in a million, but NetBSD managed
to fail this time (don't remember previous times, and not sure
how to find them).

For now, I'll just change this so there's a one in a trillion chance.

This shouldn't be necessary, but Coverity thinks it's a good idea,
and it's simple enough to do without hurting anything.

do math to get there.

A couple were actually serious, most were unimportant.

Except on Borland, which presumably doesn't have strtoull().

Don't corrupt UTF-8 strings with SAFECOPY() (use new SAFECOPY_UTF8).

Some terminals (notably, Windows Terminal) display zero width UNICODE chars
as a single column-wide space. <sigh> Auto-detect the zero-width "width"
(1 or 0) of the terminal during connection and UTF-8 auto-detection.

getstr() works a lot better now with UTF-8 strings with wide chars (e.g.
emojis), but likely much more to do.

This is not a completely unexpected thing to happen during ungraceful
termination

DDMsgReader: quotes.txt is now in the correct case for the user's editor. "terminalSupportsUTF8 not defined" error eliminated.

I'm surprised this didn't create a warning somewhere: treating char* as a
bool!

Which means that every time textgen was built, it was immediately out of
date (and requiring a rebuild).

(doesn't leave a partial UTF-8 sequence at the end of the destination string).

This calls memcpy() for every char, which may not be performant, but I didn't
(yet) do any profiling. Hence, no premature optimization either.

Tested with Windows Terminal Version: 1.18.10301.0 and all codepoints between
0x100 and 0x1FFFF, this change reduces the width mismatches from > 8000 to
349. The "Zero width" mismatches are probably the most important/glaring and
will need to be addressed next (since some terminals don't move the cursor
for zero width chars, and some do).
