When the user tab-completed a name at the Go To Directory prompt, this
name will end in a slash.  Remove this slash, so the name can be found
in the file list (where directory names don't include the final slash).

And order them from smallest stride to biggest stride.

So, slightly speed up the functions that check for those.

Invalid multibyte sequences get depicted with the Replacement Character,
and unassigned codepoints are shown as if they were a space.  Both have
a width of one.

Spaces and tabs and control codes never are multi-column glyphs, so
only look up the width for "normal", visible characters.

This avoids having to null-terminate every single-byte character.

Just allocate ample space up front and thus discard the delaying 'if' for
each and every character.  In most cases this will allocate far too much,
but that hardly matters: it is freed again as soon as the line is printed.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48125.

(The fix is slightly wasteful; speeding things up will follow later.)

Use knowledge of UTF-8 instead of converting to wide characters first.

Any control character is represented by a ^ plus an ASCII character.

Instead of showing the upper control codes like this:

   ^À ^Á ^Â ^Ã ^Ä ^Å ^Æ ^Ç ^È ^É ^Ê ^Ë ^Ì ^Í ^Î ^Ï
   ^Ð ^Ñ ^Ò ^Ó ^Ô ^Õ ^Ö ^× ^Ø ^Ù ^Ú ^Û ^Ü ^Ý ^Þ ^ß

show them like this:

   ^` ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f ^g ^h ^i ^j ^k ^l ^m ^n ^o
   ^p ^q ^r ^s ^t ^u ^v ^w ^x ^y ^z ^{ ^| ^} ^~ ^=

The lower control codes continue to be shown like this:

   ^@ ^A ^B ^C ^D ^E ^F ^G ^H ^I ^J ^K ^L ^M ^N ^O
   ^P ^Q ^R ^S ^T ^U ^V ^W ^X ^Y ^Z ^[ ^\ ^] ^^ ^_

The representation of DEL (0x7F) continues as ^?.

Further, use knowledge of UTF-8 to avoid a roundtrip through
wide characters.

By removing from their main loops a condition that occurs just once.

Do the casting from integer to character rightaway in the first
intermediate buffer.

Just like when reading a file fails.  It needs the user's attention.

So we don't have to remember its awkward target name.

Keystrokes are single integers (aided by the flags meta_key and
func_key) but in the input stream they can be encoded as escape
sequences (a series of bytes).  Characters are values in byte
range, but in UTF-8 one character can consist of multiple bytes.

Also rename two variables, because the secondary input buffer
that they refer to contains only characters (mostly just one),
never any shortcuts; and there are too many "kbinput" already.

Typing a Unicode code is always finished after at most six characters:
either retval == uni or retval == kbinput, but it can't be ERR.

With tweaks from Andrea Canciani, Ben Young, Tennix, and Dirkjan Ochtman.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48163.

The negatives are taken to mean: from the end of the file,
and: from the end of the line.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48248.

Also, other messages that are about --operatingdir don't use the term
"confined" either.
