Add a cpp-vt-stream example that verifies libghostty headers compile cleanly in C++ mode. The example is a simplified C++ port of c-vt-stream. The headers used the C idiom `typedef struct Foo* Foo` for opaque handles, which is invalid in C++ because struct tags and typedefs share the same namespace. Fix all 12 opaque handle typedefs across the headers to use a distinct struct tag with an Impl suffix, e.g. `typedef struct GhosttyTerminalImpl* GhosttyTerminal`. This is a source-compatible change for existing C consumers since the struct tags were never referenced directly.

# Example: VT Stream Processing in C++
|
|
|
|
This contains a simple example of how to use `ghostty_terminal_vt_write`
|
|
to parse and process VT sequences in C++. This is a simplified C++ port
|
|
of the `c-vt-stream` example that verifies libghostty compiles in C++
|
|
mode.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
>
|
|
> **`libghostty` is a C library.** This example is only here so our CI
|
|
> verifies that the library can be built in used from C++ files.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
Run the program:
|
