Mitchell Hashimoto 11574c35a2 libghostty: expose paste encode to C API
Add ghostty_paste_encode() which encodes paste data for writing to
the terminal pty. It strips unsafe control bytes, wraps in bracketed
paste sequences when requested, and replaces newlines with carriage
returns for unbracketed mode. The input buffer is modified in place
and the encoded result is written to a caller-provided output buffer,
following the same buffer/out_written pattern as the other encode
functions like ghostty_size_report_encode.

Update the c-vt-paste example with an encode_example() demonstrating
the new function and add corresponding @snippet references in the
header documentation.

Example: ghostty-vt Paste Utilities

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt paste utilities to check if paste data is safe and encode it for terminal input.

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
