The commit b78c5085f7 changed the st behaviour enabling BCE capability,
that means erase regions using background color. Problem comes when you
clear a region with a selection, because in this case the real mode of the
Glyph is not the value of term.line[y][x], due in drawregion we had enabled
the ATTR_REVERSE bit.

Now double-click+dragging automatically snaps both ends to word boundaries
(unless on series of spaces), and triple-click selects whole lines.
As a side effect, snapping now occurs on button press, not button release
like it previously was, but I hope that won't be inconvenient for anyone.

Now, when you are selecting a region, you will get all empty lines that happen
to be in it, including trailing ones. Last line terminator is omitted as it previously
was, though.

Thanks Mark Hills <mark@xwax.org> for the suggestion!
The copying and pasting in the terminald and GUI world is flawed. Due to the
discussion on the mailinglist it seems that sending '\n' is what GUIs expect
and '\r' what terminal applications want. St now implements that behaviour.
People sending me patches against strange revisions and basing on their own
revisions make me having to reapply them. Then such errors appear.

Keypad will generate keycodes when keypad application mode is enabled. It
can cause problems with some programs like vi, which operates in such
mode.
This patch change by default don't generate the keycodes never, but this
behaviour can be changed using the combination Alt + NumLock.

Sequences like DECSC, DECRC, ESC [?1047l or ESC [?1047h save and restore
cursor attributes, than taken from vt100 manual are:
Save Cursor (DECSC) ESC 7
===========================
Saves the following in terminal memory.
- cursor position
- graphic rendition
- character set shift state
- state of wrap flag
- state of origin mode
Restore Cursor (DECRC) ESC 8
===========================
Restores the states described for (DECSC) above. If none of these
characteristics were saved, the cursor moves to home position; origin
mode is reset; no character attributes are assigned; and the default
character set mapping is established.
This implies that hide attribute of the cursor should not be saved/restored
in these sequences. The best way to fix this problem is moving hide
attribute into the terminal mode, instead of having it in the cursor state.

draw() runs over all lines of the screen and renders only the dirty lines,
this avoids render lines which are not modified since last draw() call. In
this moment the main loop is something like:
- Wait something to read from file descriptors
- Read from pseudo tty
- Call draw() for rending
- Read X events
This cause the problem that all the X events that have to update the screen
have to call draw() (because draw() is called before of X events handling),
so you can have multiples renderings in only one iteration, that will waste
a lot of resources.
This patch change the main loop to:
- Wait something to read from file descriptors
- Read from pseudo tty
- Read X events
- Call draw() for rending
So X events don't have to worry about rendering, because draw() is called
after them.
The only place where draw is called outside of the main loop is in redraw(),
but it is necessary for getting a good tput flash.

If malloc or realloc fail they return NULL. Theorically this condition
should be tested in the code, but it's a strange condition today (basically
if this is hapenning thenyou have a big problem), and even Linux never returns
NULL in the default configuration (only if the process don't have room in
the space address, something a bit impossible in the case of st). But stis
enough small for being executed in low resources computers where this can be
a real problem. So the easy way is creating a wrappers function for them and
call to die in case of error.

st marks the active selection using reverse colors in the box selection, but
once that another window becomes owner of the selection, it is very
confusing that st keeps highlight the old selection. Usually terminal
emulators remove the highlight when it is not valid anymore.
X sends a SelectionClear event in this situation, so we only have to add a
callback which unhighlight the selectin box.

Some programs use the alternative screen (vi, less, ...), whose
content is different of the main screen. If you select text in one of
the screen, you don't wait the box selection is painted in the other
screen, so it is necessary check if the selection was done in the same
screen we are going to paint. Before to this commit, you could do
something like:
$ LESS="" ls | less
(select some code)
q
and selection box remains drawing in the main screen, but the content
of selection keeps text of the alternate screen.

* clears dirty lines in the buffer
* draws the longest same-attributes string of each
dirty line to the buffer with multiple xdraws() call
* copies the current dirty line from buffer to the screen with a single
xcopy() call
this changeset makes st run ~10x faster.
results in a lot of simplification :
- no more dirty flags (perf are good enough).
- no more ugly gfx call in emulation functions.
LINESPACE removed from config.h.
BORDER is now handled correctly.
cursor keys are handled in kpress according to the Application Mode (DECPAM).
define & enum were renamed.
tcursor() is now tmovecursor() which is more correct.
tcpos() is now tcursor(), as DECSC is also supposed to save attributes.
