Mitchell Hashimoto a0d738697e vt: add c render state api and example

Introduce the first public C render-state surface for libghostty-vt.
Before this change, the render-state path was only available in Zig,
so C embedders had no direct way to create and update that cache.

Add an opaque GhosttyRenderState type with new, update, and free
entry points, then wire those symbols through the C API bridge and
library exports. Keep the surface intentionally minimal for now so
ownership and update behavior are established before adding read
accessors.

Example: `ghostty-vt` Render State

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt render-state API to create a render state, update it from terminal content, and clean it up.

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
