Mitchell Hashimoto 03d5fa2689 lib-vt: move scrollback limits to terminal_set
Terminal construction previously accepted GhosttyTerminalOptions with
dimensions and one scrollback byte limit. Remove the options struct from
the ABI and make ghostty_terminal_new accept columns and rows directly.

Add byte and line limit options to ghostty_terminal_set and forward them
to the runtime Terminal setters. NULL removes a limit, while zero bytes
disables scrollback. Update type metadata, tests, and all API examples.

Example: ghostty-vt Render State

This contains an example of how to use the ghostty-vt render-state API to create a render state, update it from terminal content, iterate rows and cells, read styles and colors, inspect cursor and row-local selection state, and manage dirty tracking.

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
