Michael Grant aed1209c02 regress: add Michael K. Darling's damage/redraw regression tests
From github.com/darlingm/tmux, branch pr5516-regression-fixes. Adds 9
regression tests covering gaps found in the redraw-damage-rectangles
branch: screen-write full/region redraw fallback, same-session window
switches, wide-character clipping at damage edges, pane prompts and
status lines surviving damage, floating-pane status format refresh,
and multi-client damage delivery.

redraw-multiclient.sh is adapted here to use ASCII pane borders
(pane-border-lines simple) instead of darlingm's original UTF-8
borders: the original reliably "failed" under this test's nested
tmux-in-tmux harness (relaying through an outer tmux client) due to
that harness mis-rendering a cell that held a multi-byte UTF-8 border
character being overwritten by later plain content - confirmed to be
a nested-relay artifact, not a real bug, by replaying the identical
drag sequence against a real terminal (xterm), where it never
reproduces. ASCII borders avoid the artifact; the test still reliably
catches the real "damage consumed by only one client" bug it targets
(verified by reintroducing that bug and confirming the test fails).

The other 8 tests are added verbatim from darlingm's branch. Four of
them (popup-drag-status-line.sh, popup-drag-wide-character.sh,
popup-drag-pane-prompt.sh, switch-client-redraw.sh) currently FAIL on
this branch, since the source fixes they test for have not been
merged yet - only the tests are being added here.

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

	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.
