Mitchell Hashimoto 1e21ac1190 example: add c-vt-formatter example

Add an example showing how to use the ghostty-vt terminal and
formatter APIs from C. The example creates a terminal, writes
VT-encoded content with cursor movement and styling sequences,
then formats the screen contents as plain text using the formatter
API.

Example: `ghostty-vt` Terminal Formatter

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt terminal and formatter APIs to create a terminal, write VT-encoded content into it, and format the screen contents as plain text.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
