This commit adds a new pty object.
The pty object takes care of all pseudo terminal handling, reading and
writing. It can be opened and closed, and notify through callbacks when
input arrives or the child process exits/dies. It can also receive input
and pass it along to the child process.
There is not yet any real VTE processing, so we display raw escape
codes and so on. However, this should provide immediate feedback for
any further vte development, as we start to act like a real terminal
emulator.

Move all documentation into EXTRA_DIST, otherwise it gets installed systemwide.
And probably no one is interested in having the README installed in the system.

This is a first attempt of a freetype2 backend for the font drawing functions.
This avoids the heavy pango/cairo dependencies, although, we might lose
important font handling that pango does for us like correctly drawing combined
characters.
This is still a stub implementation. The drawing operations are not supported,
yet. Use --enable-pango during configure to enable the still working pango
backend.

We use a new font factory which is used to create a new font. It will later also
be used to cache fonts and select proper system fonts.

Instead of allocating big buffers with kmscon_char's for every character we now
reduce a single character to an integer. This integer is either the Unicode
codepoint or an ID to an internally allocated string.
The so called kmscon_symbol_t integer can now be used as if it were a classic
"char" value without bothering with combining marks etc.

This commit introduces a new kmscon_input_event structure which is
delivered to the input consumer. The information provided is
- The evdev scancode (=physical keyboard key).
- The X keysym (a symbol representing what the typist really intended).
- The active modifiers (e.g. Shift, Control..)
- The unicode (UCS-4) value, when it makes sense.
To achieve this we add two dependencies:
- libxkbcommon (this entails xproto and kbproto, but shouldn't bring any of
big X dependencies)
- A function to translate keysyms to unicode values (taken from xlib,
copied in-tree).
libxkbcommon is not an all-around solution, and requires various degrees
of supporting code, depending on how much we wish to support. This
commit implements the common, basic uses:
- Choosing layouts, variants and options
- Switching groups
- Switching shift-levels
- Setting modifiers
Though some stuff is missing. Further information in the comments.
test_input.c is updated to use the new input event interface. You can
change the layouts in input.c:init_input() and see what works and what
doesn't.

It should:
- Capture your keypresses
- Announce when a device is added or removed (with --enable-debug)
- stop/start capturing on SIGQUIT (Ctrl-\)

This does all the boring stuff for an input subsystem:
- Input device discovery using udev
- Input device hotplug (add/remove)
- Reading the evdev data from the devices
- Publishing input events to a callback through the eloop
- Suspending and resuming the input capture
Currently the delivered input events are basically just evdev's
"struct input_event" (type, code, value). More work is required to
have it pass out useful data.

vte: This adds a dummy VTE subsystem. It will be used to emulate a vt100
terminal based on our console subsystem.
terminal: This ties together several subsystems including the output-, the
console- and the vte-subsystem.
The test_terminal test application can be used to test the terminal. It is
supposed to provide a full vt100 implementation which is displayed on all
available screens.
Most of the functionality here is not implemented yet and only a dummy function.
These will be added in later commits.

This test app is used to stress test the buffer implementation and finding bugs
of the scrollback-buffer rotations etc.

- Use C99 and gnu extensions.
- Explicitly link against libdrm (more strict linkers like gold would
complain).
- Consistently use *_CPPFLAGS where due.
- Clear the default CFLAGS.

The buffer object manages the cells and scrollback buffer. It is optimized for
speed: fast rotations, fast resize, etc.

As long as we are run in a VT we need to correctly handle VT-switches to avoid
blocking the crtc/input.
This is copied from wayland-compositor demos and modified to fit to our needs.

We simply forward all log messages to stderr. We use syslog/prink-like severity
prefixes. Use systemd or alike to forward stderr to syslog, kernel-log or
similar.

This commit adds basic autoconf + automake files to build the project.
It also adds a main.c stub in order to simulate the main binary.
The configure script uses pkg-config to find the libraries. The usual
stuff should work. The only additional option right now is:
./configure --enable-debug [To enable debugging symbols]
The Makefile should also support the standard stuff:
make [To build the kmscon binary]
make check [To build the test_* binaries]
make dist [To create a tarball]
make clean
make install
etc.
To start from a clean tree (e.g. git clean -dfx), do something like the
following:
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-debug CFLAGS=-O0
make
It all should work well enough for now.
