Subject: [PATCH v2] console: answer OSC 10 and 11

XTerm and many other terminal emulators implement
Operating System Commands 10 and 11, allowing the
default foreground/background to be set and queried.
Extend the VT control sequence parser to recognize
and support these queries.

The VT already implements two OSCs, for changing
and resetting the palette. In doing so (many years
ago), it broke from the ANSI standard, and did not
require an ST terminator. Read all about it in
xterm(1) (see "brokenLinuxOSC"). I have followed this
grand tradition, and similarly not required ST.
Note that ST can still be safely sent by a client
program, as the VT consumes it. Indeed, my Notcurses
library does exactly this.

"Don't VTs always have black backgrounds?" Nope, you
can change the default background color with any
number of ANSI sequences, and then use the VT's
Private CSI "ESC [ 8 ]" to make the current color pair
the default attributes. Try it at home with, say:

  printf %b '\e[46m' '\e[8]' '\e[H\e[J'

The response follows XTerm's effective lead, using
%02x/%02x/%02x to format the RGB value, rather than
the %02x%02x%02x preferred by the preexisting
P (set palette) OSC. This was done to simplify
client libraries. Note that the spirit of the law,
that the reply is a "control sequence of the same
form which can be used to set", cannot be easily
honored given the semantics of the Linux private CSI
sequence. So it goes.

As a result, notcurses-info now properly detects the
default colors dynamically. Where it used to say:

 no known default fg no known default bg

It now says on boot:

 notcurses 3.0.4 on Linux 5.16.0nlb VT
 ...
 default fg 0xaaaaaa default bg 0x000000

and after a change like that above:

 notcurses 3.0.4 on Linux 5.16.0nlb VT
 ...
 default fg 0xaaaaaa default bg 0xaa5500

This is necessary to produce readable multicolor text
while respecting the user's background choice.
