term: scrolling: hopefully fix all selection/scrolling related crashes
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.

# Changelog
* [Unreleased](#unreleased)
* [1.3.0](#1-3-0)
* [1.2.3](#1-2-3)
* [1.2.2](#1-2-2)
* [1.2.1](#1-2-1)
* [1.2.0](#1-2-0)
## Unreleased
### Added
* `Sync` to terminfo. This is a tmux extension that indicates
_"Synchronized Updates"_ are supported.
### Changed
* Background transparency to only be used with the default background
color.
* Copy to clipboard/primary selection to insert a line break if either
the last cell on the previous line or the first cell on the next
line is empty.
* Number of lines to scroll is now always clamped to the number of
lines in the scrolling region..
### Deprecated
### Removed
### Fixed
* Do not stop an ongoing selection when `shift` is released. When the
client application is capturing mouse events, one must hold down
`shift` to start a selection. This selection is now finalized only
when the mouse button is released - not as soon as `shift` is
released.
* Selected cells did not appear selected if modified.
* Very rare crash when beginning a selection at the same time the
terminal content was scrolled.
### Security
## 1.3.0
### Added
* User configurable key- and mouse bindings. See `man 5 foot` and the
example `footrc` (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1)
* **initial-window-mode** option to `footrc`, that lets you control
the initial mode for each newly spawned window: _windowed_,
_maximized_ or _fullscreen_.
* **app-id** option to `footrc` and `--app-id` command line option,
that sets the _app-id_ property on the Wayland window.
* **title** option to `footrc` and `--title` command line option, that
sets the initial window title.
* Right mouse button extends the current selection.
* `CSI Ps ; Ps ; Ps t` escape sequences for the following parameters:
`11t`, `13t`, `13;2t`, `14t`, `14;2t`, `15t`, `19t`.
* Unicode combining characters.
### Changed
* Spaces no longer removed from zsh font name completions.
* Default key binding for _spawn-terminal_ to ctrl+shift+n.
* Renderer is now much faster with interactive scrolling
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/4)
* memfd sealing failures are no longer fatal errors.
* Selection to no longer be cleared on resize.
* The current monitor's subpixel order (RGB/BGR/V-RGB/V-BGR) is
preferred over FontConfig's `rgba` property. Only if the monitor's
subpixel order is `unknown` is FontConfig's `rgba` property used. If
the subpixel order is `none`, then grayscale antialiasing is
used. The subpixel order is ignored if antialiasing has been
disabled.
* The four primary font variants (normal, bold, italic, bold italic)
are now loaded in parallel. This speeds up both the initial startup
time, as well as a DPI changes.
* Command line parsing no longer tries to parse arguments following
the command-to-execute. This means one can now write `foot sh -c
true` instead of `foot -- sh -c true`.
### Removed
* Keyboard/pointer handler workarounds for Sway 1.2.
### Fixed
* Sixel images moved or deleted on window resize.
* Cursor sometimes incorrectly restored on exit from alternate screen.
* 'Underline' cursor being invisible on underlined text.
* Restored cursor position in 'normal' screen when window was resized
while in 'alt' screen.
* Hostname in OSC 7 URI not being validated.
* OSC 4 with multiple `c;spec` pairs.
* Alt+Return to emit "ESC \r".
* Trackpad sloooow scrolling to eventually scroll a line.
* Memory leak in terminal reset.
* Translation of cursor coordinates on resize
* Scaling color specifiers in OSC sequences.
* `OSC 12 ?` to return the cursor color, not the cursor's text color.
* `OSC 12;#000000` to configure the cursor to use inverted
foreground/background colors.
* Call `ioctl(TIOCSCTTY)` on the pts fd in the slave process.
## 1.2.3
### Fixed
* Forgot to version bump 1.2.2
## 1.2.2
### Changed
* Changed icon name in `foot.desktop` and `foot-server.desktop` from
_terminal_ to _utilities-terminal_.
* `XDG_SESSION_ID` is now included in the server/daemon default socket
path.
### Fixed
* Window size doubling when moving window between outputs with
different scaling factors (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/3).
* Font being too small on monitors with fractional scaling
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/5).
## 1.2.1
### Fixed
* Building AUR package
## 1.2.0
### Added
* Run-time text resize using ctrl-+, ctrl+- and ctrl+0
* Font size adjusts dynamically to outputs' DPI
* Reflow text when resizing window
* **pad** option to `footrc`
* **login-shell** option to `footrc` and `--login-shell` command line
option
* Client side decorations (CSDs). This finally makes foot usable on
GNOME.
* Sixel graphics support
* OSC 12 and 112 escape sequences (set/reset text cursor color)
* REP CSI escape sequence
* `oc` to terminfo
* foot-server.desktop file
* Window and cell size reporting escape sequences
* `--hold` command line option
* `--print-pid=FILE|FD` command line option
### Changed
* Subpixel antialiasing is only enabled when background is opaque
* Meta/alt ESC prefix can now be disabled with `\E[?1036l`. In this
mode, the 8:th bit is set and the result is UTF-8 encoded. This can
also be disabled with `\E[1024l` (in which case the Alt key is
effectively being ignored).
* terminfo now uses ST instead of BEL as OSC terminator
* Logging to print to stderr, not stdout
* Backspace now emits DEL (^?), and ctrl+backspace emits BS (^H)
### Removed
* '28' from DA response
