2acf161381 Cursor spinner while processing events for more than 500ms. (#599)
The spinner is a simple |/-\ at the current cursor position. For non-terminal
events, the root of the event's wire is also displayed to the right of the
spinner to give some indication of what's causing an unresponsive terminal.

I used the simplest synchronization strategy I could think of: u3_utat.mex_u is
a mutex that serializes access to a terminal's state. The main thread holds it
at all times except when processing events. When a terminal receives a %bee blit
with a non-nul bulb (the event ovum), it releases the mutex to let the spinner
thread do its thing. A %bee with a nul bulb halts the spinner by grabbing the
mutex and refreshing the input line.

Off-thread console writes are directly against the underlying fd to avoid
trashing non-thread-safe libuv state. Given the simple locking pattern, calling
libuv from the spinner thread might be fine, but I didn't feel like auditing
vere to rule out concurrent calls. It worked when I tried it, but... threads.

I didn't look into supporting anything other than the main terminal, so
currently it's the only one that receives %bee blits. In daemon mode, the
spinner is disabled entirely and no additional thread is started.

d2391e78f8 Restore terminal line length and cursor position on refresh.
This keeps printfs from blowing away the line state (M-m M-m
won't erase your prompt).
