Michael Grant 4e2abff2d6 window-copy: avoid erasing and needlessly re-flashing images during copy-mode redraws
window_copy_write_one() used to write text/highlight styling directly
over image-covered cells via the normal path, which - since a character
write typically clears whatever pixel content a terminal was showing
there - erased the image with nothing to redraw it back in. Image-covered
cells now bypass styling and go straight into the grid instead (a
non-graphical client's ASCII fallback for the image still depends on this
same write, so it can't just be skipped).

window_copy_write_line()'s call to image_redraw_area() used to fire
unconditionally on every redraw, needlessly recompositing (and briefly
flashing) the image on every single cursor step even after the erasure
above was fixed, even though nothing about the image had changed. It now
only fires when window_copy_update_image_refresh() (new) determines the
view's underlying history position actually moved since the last redraw.

Also adds window_copy_visible_has_images(), used by a later commit's
scroll-region fix as a bypass to a full redraw when the visible range
carries image data - line insert/delete only shifts character cells, not
already-sent image pixels, so scroll's normal fast path leaves stale or
missing image content behind.

Welcome to tmux!

tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created,
accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a
screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.

This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS and Solaris.

* Dependencies

tmux depends on libevent 2.x, available from:

	https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/latest

It also depends on ncurses, available from:

	https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/

To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a
suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed.

* Installation

To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use:

	$ ./configure && make
	$ sudo make install

tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run
configure with --enable-utempter to enable this.

To get and build the latest from version control - note that this requires
autoconf, automake and pkg-config:

	$ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
	$ cd tmux
	$ sh autogen.sh
	$ ./configure && make
	$ sudo make install

* Contributing

Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most
welcome. Please send by email to:

	tmux-users@googlegroups.com

Or open a GitHub issue or pull request.

* Documentation

For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. View it from the
source tree with:

	$ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less

A small example configuration is in example_tmux.conf.

Other documentation is available in the wiki:

	https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki

Also see the tmux FAQ at:

	https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ

A bash(1) completion file is at:

	https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/blob/main/completions/tmux

For debugging, run tmux with -v and -vv to generate server and client log files
in the current directory.
