Mitchell Hashimoto 6e34bc686c vt: pass pointer options directly to terminal_set

Previously ghostty_terminal_set required all values to be passed as
pointers to the value, even when the value itself was already a
pointer (userdata, function pointer callbacks). This forced callers
into awkward patterns like compound literals or intermediate
variables just to take the address of a pointer.

Now pointer-typed options (userdata and all callbacks) are passed
directly as the value parameter. Only non-pointer types like
GhosttyString still require a pointer to the value. This
simplifies InType to return the actual stored type for each option
and lets setTyped work with those types directly.

Example: `ghostty-vt` Terminal Effects

This contains a simple example of how to register and use terminal effect callbacks (write_pty, bell, title_changed) with the ghostty-vt C library.

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
