Implement new line editing "library"
Losing tab complete and text macros, for now.

This new implementation works on an instance of a struct and does
not interact with the rest of catgirl, making it possible to copy
into another project. Unlike existing line editing libraries, this
one is entirely abstract and can be rendered externally.

My goal with this library is to be able to implement vi mode. Since
it operates on struct instances rather than globals, it might also
be possible to give catgirl separate line editing buffers for each
window, which would be a nice UX improvement.
