c1e616c6cd libghostty: add ghostty_free for cross-runtime memory safety
On Windows, Zig's built-in libc and MSVC's CRT maintain separate
heaps, so calling free() on memory allocated by the library causes
undefined behavior. Add ghostty_free() that frees through the same
allocator that performed the allocation, making it safe on all
platforms.

Update format_alloc docs and all examples to use ghostty_free()
instead of free().

3dee62f904 build: add CMake support for libghostty-vt
Add a top-level CMakeLists.txt that wraps `zig build lib-vt` so that
CMake-based downstream projects can consume libghostty-vt without
needing to interact with the Zig build system directly. A custom
command triggers the zig build during `cmake --build`, and the
resulting shared library is exposed as an IMPORTED target.

Downstream projects can pull in the library via FetchContent, which
fetches the source and builds it as part of their own CMake build, or
via find_package after a manual install step. The package config
template in dist/cmake/ sets up the ghostty-vt::ghostty-vt target
with proper include paths and macOS rpath handling.

A c-vt-cmake example demonstrates the FetchContent workflow, creating
a terminal, writing VT sequences, and formatting the output as plain
text. CI is updated to auto-discover and build CMake-based examples
alongside the existing Zig-based ones.
