e8525c0fd9 Update to Zig 0.16.0
This commit represents the majority of the work necessary to upgrade
Ghostty to use Zig 0.16.0.

Key parts:

* In addition to its previous responsibilities, the global state now
  houses state for global I/O implementations and the process
  environment. It is now also utilized in the main application along
  with the C library. Where necessary, global state is isolated from key
  parts of the implementation (e.g., in libghostty subsystems), and it's
  expected that this list will grow.

* We currently manage our own C translation layer where necessary. In
  these cases, cImport has been removed in favor of the new external
  translate-c package. Due to fixes that have needed be made to properly
  translate the dependencies that were swapped out, as mentioned, we
  have had to backport fixes from the current translate-c package (and
  the upstream Arocc dependency). We will host this ourselves until Zig
  0.17.0 is released with these fixes.

* Where necessary (only a small number of cases), some stdlib code from
  0.15.2 (and even from 0.17.0) has been taken, adopted, and vendored in
  lib/compat.

840ab46009 cli: also recognize $GHOSTTY_PAGER
When defined, GHOSTTY_PAGER takes precedence over PAGER. If either of
those variables is set to an empty value, paging is disabled.

62f8a1cbcf cli: use a caller-provided write buffer
This follows Zig's conventions more closely, where the caller owns the
write buffer.

4a0cca1c5b cli: add pager support to +explain-config
Add a new Pager type that wraps output to an external pager program when
stdout is a TTY, following the same conventions as git. The pager
command is resolved from $PAGER, falling back to `less`. An empty $PAGER
disables paging. If the pager fails to spawn, we fall back to stdout.

Previously, +explain-config wrote directly to stdout with no paging,
which meant long help text would scroll by. Now output is automatically
piped through the user's preferred pager when running interactively. A
--no-pager flag is available to disable this.
