      Add server side ncurses terminal · 5e507c98
      est31 authored
      This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration
      or to talk with players.
      It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to
      the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout.
      As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick
      completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free.
      The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a
      client version later on is just about implementing an interface.
      
      Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses
      terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still
      remains visible.
      
      The server owner can chose their username their entered text will
      have in chat and where players can send PMs to.
      Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to
      take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the
      console.
      
      This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses
      library detection.
