lib-vt: OSC data extraction boilerplate

This also changes OSC strings to be null-terminated to ease lib-vt
integration. This shouldn't have any practical effect on terminal
performance, but it does lower the maximum length of OSC strings by 1
since we always reserve space for the null terminator.

* OSC (Operating System Command) sequence parser and command handling.

* 1. Create a parser instance with ghostty_osc_new()

* 3. Finalize parsing with ghostty_osc_end() to get the command
* 4. Query command type and extract data using ghostty_osc_command_type()
