This is the gsoc-2011 project to clean up and backport multibyte support
from other nvi forks in a form we can use.
USE_WIDECHAR is on unless building for the rescue crunchgen. This should
allow editing in the native locale encoding.
USE_ICONV depends on make.conf having 'WITH_ICONV=YES' for now. This
adds the ability to do things like edit a KOI8-R file while having $LANG
set to (say) en_US.UTF-8. iconv is used to transcode the characters for
display.
Other points:
* It uses gencat and catopen/etc instead of homegrown msg catalog stuff.
* A lot of stuff has been trimmed out, eg: the perl and tcl bindings which
we could never use in base anyway.
* It uses ncursesw when in widechar mode. This could be interesting.

- Fix handling of ^@ when reading an ex command. Don't try to replay
the previous input.
- Fix handling of ^C in insert mode and when reading an ex command.
Repeating an interrupted input could cause a crash and interrupting
ex command input could cause a file corruption.
- Fix a bug which causes crashes in file name completion when a file
name is longer than the screen width.
- When an error occurs in v_txt(), leave the input mode.
