Mitchell Hashimoto 2c1dad790b libghostty: add _get_multi to all _get APIs
Replace the ImageInfo and PlacementInfo sized structs and their
associated .info enum variants with a new _get_multi pattern that
batches multiple enum+pointer pairs into a single call. This avoids
struct ABI concerns (field order, padding, alignment, GHOSTTY_INIT_SIZED)
while preserving the single-call-crossing performance benefit for FFI
and Cgo callers.

Each _get_multi function takes an array of enum keys, an array of
output pointers, and an optional out_written parameter that reports
how many values were successfully written before any error. This
applies uniformly to all _get APIs: terminal_get, cell_get, row_get,
render_state_get, render_state_row_get, render_state_row_cells_get,
kitty_graphics_image_get, and kitty_graphics_placement_get.

The C example is updated to use compound-literal _get_multi calls,
and tests cover both success and error paths for every new function.

Example: ghostty-vt Kitty Graphics Protocol

This contains a simple example of how to use the system interface (ghostty_sys_set) to install a PNG decoder callback, then send a Kitty Graphics Protocol image via ghostty_terminal_vt_write.

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
