libghostty: add tracked grid ref API

Add a C API for tracked pins, known as a tracked grid ref in C.

The new API can create tracked refs from terminal points, snapshot them
back to regular grid refs for cell access, convert them to coordinates,
move them to a new point, report when their semantic location was lost,
and free the tracked pin bookkeeping. This is backed by PageList tracked
pins and exposed through the libghostty-vt export layer and headers.
