vt: properly support zero-width Unicode code points
Zero-width Unicode code points are causing misalignment in vertically
aligned content, disrupting the visual layout. Let's handle zero-width
code points more intelligently.
Double-width code points are stored in the screen grid followed by a white
space code point to create the expected screen layout. When a double-width
code point is followed by a zero-width code point in the console incoming
bytestream (e.g., an emoji with a presentation selector) then we may
replace the white space padding by that zero-width code point instead of
dropping it. This maximize screen content information while preserving
proper layout.
If a zero-width code point is preceded by a single-width code point then
the above trick is not possible and such zero-width code point must
be dropped.
VS16 (Variation Selector 16, U+FE0F) is special as it typically doubles
the width of the preceding single-width code point. We handle that case
by giving VS16 a width of 1 instead of 0 when that happens.
