Mitchell Hashimoto a82ad89ef3 lib-vt: C API for SGR parser (#9352)
This exposes the SGR parser to the C and Wasm APIs. An example is shown
in c-vt-sgr.

Compressed example:

```c
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ghostty/vt.h>

int main() {
  // Create parser
  GhosttySgrParser parser;
  assert(ghostty_sgr_new(NULL, &parser) == GHOSTTY_SUCCESS);

  // Parse: ESC[1;31m (bold + red foreground)
  uint16_t params[] = {1, 31};
  assert(ghostty_sgr_set_params(parser, params, NULL, 2) == GHOSTTY_SUCCESS);

  printf("Parsing: ESC[1;31m\n\n");

  // Iterate through attributes
  GhosttySgrAttribute attr;
  while (ghostty_sgr_next(parser, &attr)) {
    switch (attr.tag) {
      case GHOSTTY_SGR_ATTR_BOLD:
        printf("✓ Bold enabled\n");
        break;
      case GHOSTTY_SGR_ATTR_FG_8:
        printf("✓ Foreground color: %d (red)\n", attr.value.fg_8);
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  }

  ghostty_sgr_free(parser);
  return 0;
}
```

**AI disclosure:** Amp wrote most of the C headers, but I verified it
all. https://ampcode.com/threads/T-d9f145cb-e6ef-48a8-ad63-e5fc85c0d43e

/**
* @mainpage libghostty-vt - Virtual Terminal Emulator Library
*
* libghostty-vt is a C library which implements a modern terminal emulator,
* extracted from the [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org) terminal emulator.
*
* libghostty-vt contains the logic for handling the core parts of a terminal
* emulator: parsing terminal escape sequences, maintaining terminal state,
* encoding input events, etc. It can handle scrollback, line wrapping,
* reflow on resize, and more.
*
* @warning This library is currently in development and the API is not yet stable.
* Breaking changes are expected in future versions. Use with caution in production code.
*
* @section groups_sec API Reference
*
* The API is organized into the following groups:
* - @ref key "Key Encoding" - Encode key events into terminal sequences
* - @ref osc "OSC Parser" - Parse OSC (Operating System Command) sequences
* - @ref sgr "SGR Parser" - Parse SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) sequences
* - @ref paste "Paste Utilities" - Validate paste data safety
* - @ref allocator "Memory Management" - Memory management and custom allocators
* - @ref wasm "WebAssembly Utilities" - WebAssembly convenience functions
*
* @section examples_sec Examples
*
* Complete working examples:
* - @ref c-vt/src/main.c - OSC parser example
* - @ref c-vt-key-encode/src/main.c - Key encoding example
* - @ref c-vt-paste/src/main.c - Paste safety check example
* - @ref c-vt-sgr/src/main.c - SGR parser example
*

/** @example c-vt/src/main.c

/** @example c-vt-key-encode/src/main.c

* paste data is safe before sending it to the terminal.
*/
/** @example c-vt-sgr/src/main.c
* This example demonstrates how to use the SGR parser to parse terminal
* styling sequences and extract text attributes like colors and underline styles.
