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.
