ui: use line-based rather than char-based updates in screen.c

Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.

Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.

cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.
