vt: preserve unicode values corresponding to screen characters
The vt code translates UTF-8 strings into glyph index values and stores
those glyph values directly in the screen buffer. Because there can only
be at most 512 glyphs, it is impossible to represent most unicode
characters, in which case a default glyph (often '?') is displayed
instead. The original unicode value is then lost.
This patch implements the basic screen buffer handling to preserve unicode
values alongside corresponding display glyphs. It is not activated by
default, meaning that people not relying on that functionality won't get
the implied overhead.
