Mitchell Hashimoto 03d5fa2689 lib-vt: move scrollback limits to terminal_set

Terminal construction previously accepted GhosttyTerminalOptions with
dimensions and one scrollback byte limit. Remove the options struct from
the ABI and make ghostty_terminal_new accept columns and rows directly.

Add byte and line limit options to ghostty_terminal_set and forward them
to the runtime Terminal setters. NULL removes a limit, while zero bytes
disables scrollback. Update type metadata, tests, and all API examples.

WebAssembly VT Terminal Example

This example demonstrates how to use the Ghostty VT library from WebAssembly to initialize a terminal, write VT-encoded data to it, and format the terminal contents as plain text.

Building

First, build the WebAssembly module:

zig build -Demit-lib-vt -Dtarget=wasm32-freestanding -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall

This will create zig-out/bin/ghostty-vt.wasm.

Running

Important: You must serve this via HTTP, not open it as a file directly. Browsers block loading WASM files from file:// URLs.

From the root of the ghostty repository, serve with a local HTTP server:

# Using Python (recommended)
python3 -m http.server 8000

# Or using Node.js
npx serve .

# Or using PHP
php -S localhost:8000

Then open your browser to:

http://localhost:8000/example/wasm-vt/
