Mitchell Hashimoto 1fcd80daab libghostty: add cpp-vt-stream example and fix C++ header compatibility
Add a cpp-vt-stream example that verifies libghostty headers compile
cleanly in C++ mode. The example is a simplified C++ port of
c-vt-stream.

The headers used the C idiom `typedef struct Foo* Foo` for opaque
handles, which is invalid in C++ because struct tags and typedefs
share the same namespace. Fix all 12 opaque handle typedefs across the
headers to use a distinct struct tag with an Impl suffix, e.g.
`typedef struct GhosttyTerminalImpl* GhosttyTerminal`. This is a
source-compatible change for existing C consumers since the struct
tags were never referenced directly.

Examples

Standalone projects demonstrating the Ghostty library APIs. The directories starting with c- use the C API and the directories starting with zig- use the Zig API.

Every example can be built and run using zig build and zig build run from within the respective example directory. Even the C API examples use the Zig build system (not the language) to build the project.

Running an Example

cd example/<dir>
zig build run
