The freetype2 font backend lacks support for proper combining marks and I
do not intend to ever implement that. Use pango!
If you don't want heavy dependencies, you can use the unifont or 8x16
backends.

cdev sessions are outdated. Use libuvt instead. Remove all references to
cdev-sessions and clean up the build chain.

This moves the description of kmscon.conf to a separate "Configuration"
section and adds some example kmscon.conf configuration lines.
This addresses #71 (at least, with this change in place I probably would
not have been momentarily confused by the exact syntax used in
kmsconf.conf).

This adds an --xkb-keymap <FILE> option to kmscon. When given, kmscon
will try to compile the keymap from the file before trying the other
options (like the XkbKeymap option in xorg.conf).
This is useful for users who have a customized XKB keymap, which is
usually kept in a single file. Example, in X:
xkbcomp $DISPLAY my_keymap.xkb
Customize my_keymap.xkb to your liking, and then in .xinitrc, or
xorg.conf:
xkbcomp my_keymap.xkb $DISPLAY
Now you can also do this in kmscon.conf.
Additionally, lacking such an option, kmscon is quite difficult to use
without an installed xkeyboard-config package, which provides the
infrastructure for the "rules" configuration mechanism. We might even
want to distribute some plain xkb file as a last ditch, for
robustness, if even the default RMLVO fails... without a keyboard a
terminal is not very useful.
(changed Ran's patch to use *_from_string() instead of *_from_file())

This implements two new keyboard shortcuts zoom-in and zoom-out that
increase/decrease font size of the current terminal.
This is similar to how wlterm does it and allows runtime modification of
fonts.

We used font-size=15 in the past but changed it long ago. However, the
documentation still used 15 so fix this now.

We must pass "-p" to make "login" preserve the environment. We make sure
the environment is correctly reset before calling it so it is safe.
Furthermore, this allows us to pass additional environment variables to
the child without having /bin/login reset it.

This option uses XDG_SEAT to determine the current seat. If this is NULL,
we fall back to "seat0".

Instead of relying on --switchvt, we should always activate fake-VTs
during startup. Otherwise, we might end up with dead seats as there is no
way to wake up kmscon later.

Add a very basic man-page infrastructure so we can easily add new
docbook-style manpages.
Also add kmscon.1 man-page with a basic overview.
