Log Message:
Teach window(1) how to deal with ANSI terminal escape sequences.
Specifically: escape sequences begining with [ and which contain ? or numeric values.
This allows window(1) to work better with those terminal programs, especially those which use
readline(3) calls, which insist on emitting these extended escape sequences even if those
definitions are not in the termcap or terminfo spec for the terminal in use.
this new support is incomplete in the sense that we don't do anything with the numeric values,
but we do honor the functions of the actions requested as long as they were actions this
program already supported.
Preliminary testing shows a vast improvement with programs like gdb and the interactive python
shells.
