Mitchell Hashimoto 9897d6caba libghostty: add GHOSTTY_ENUM_MAX_VALUE sentinel to all C enums
Pre-C23, the C standard allows compilers to choose any integer type
that can represent all enum values, so small enums could be backed
by char or short. This breaks ABI compatibility with the Zig side,
which backs these enums with c_int.

Define GHOSTTY_ENUM_MAX_VALUE as INT_MAX in types.h and add it as
the last entry in every enum in include/ghostty/vt/. This forces
the compiler to use int as the backing type, matching c_int on all
targets. INT_MAX is used rather than a fixed constant because enum
constants must be representable as int; values above INT_MAX are a
constraint violation in standard C.

Document this convention in AGENTS.md.

/** @defgroup sgr SGR Parser
*
* SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) attribute parser.
*
* SGR sequences are the syntax used to set styling attributes such as
* bold, italic, underline, and colors for text in terminal emulators.
* For example, you may be familiar with sequences like `ESC[1;31m`. The
* `1;31` is the SGR attribute list.
*
* The parser processes SGR parameters from CSI sequences (e.g., `ESC[1;31m`)
* and returns individual text attributes like bold, italic, colors, etc.
* It supports both semicolon (`;`) and colon (`:`) separators, possibly mixed,
* and handles various color formats including 8-color, 16-color, 256-color,
* X11 named colors, and RGB in multiple formats.
*
* ## Basic Usage
*
* 1. Create a parser instance with ghostty_sgr_new()
* 2. Set SGR parameters with ghostty_sgr_set_params()
* 3. Iterate through attributes using ghostty_sgr_next()
* 4. Free the parser with ghostty_sgr_free() when done
*
* ## Example
*
* @snippet c-vt-sgr/src/main.c sgr-basic
