This is slightly faster, since we don't need to initialize an
mbstate_t struct (using mbrtowc() with a NULL-pointer for 'ps' also
works).
Also, avoid a branch by setting wc=0 and then ignoring the
result/error code from mbtowc().
Use a signalfd to listen for SIGCHLD signals.
When we receive a SIGCHLD over the signalfd, reap all dead children by
looping over all registered child PIDs and call waitpid(WNOHANG) on
them.
When making sure we don't scroll past the scrollback history, and the
current offset was exactly at the wrap around, the new view port was
set to offset+1, which in this particular case meant outside the valid
row numbers.
When scrolling, there are a couple of cases where an existing
selection must be canceled because we cannot meaningfully represent it
after scrolling.
These are when the selection is (partly) inside:
* The top scrolling region
* The bottom scrolling region
* The new lines scrolled in. I.e. re-used lines
For the scrolling regions, the real problem is when the selection
crosses the scrolling region boundary; a selection that is completely
inside a scrolling regions _might_ be possible to keep, but we would
need to translate the selection coordinates to the new scrolling
region lines.
For simplicity, we cancel the selection if it touches the scrolling
region. Period.
The last item, newly scrolled in lines is when the selection covers
very old lines and we're now wrapping around the scrollback history.
Then there's a fourth problem case: when the user has started a
selection, but hasn't yet moved the cursor. In this case, we have no
end point.
What's more problematic is that when the user (after scrolling) moves
the cursor, we try to create a huge selection that covers mostly
empty (NULL) rows, causing us to crash.
This can happen e.g. when reverse scrolling in such a way that we wrap
around the scrollback history.
The actual viewport in this case is something like `-n - m`. But the
selection we'll end up trying to create will be `m - (rows - n)`. This
range may very well contain NULL rows.
To deal with this, we simply cancel the selection.
