This sequence adds a new tab stop in the current horizontal position. This
means that tputtab must be look for the next tab stop in the tabs array
instead of using a hard coded value offset. Also, CHT sequence XXX message
is removed because it is not a vt10x sequence (as far as I know it is a
vt50x sequence), and it is not implemented by linux virtual terminal neither
by xterm.

Tabs stop are simulated in st using a fixed size of 8, always, without be
worried about sequences changing the tab stops. A user can put a tab stop in
each horizontal position of the screen, so we need at least one flag for
each column of the screen. In the same way as dirty flags is used for the
rows, it is used a bool dinamic array.

* add a timeout value (SELECT_TIMEOUT) of 20ms in the select() call
* wait at least 20ms (DRAW_TIMEOUT) between draw() calls
* only copy dirty lines from the buffer to the screen
what draw() does:
* clears dirty lines in the buffer
* draws the longest same-attributes string of each
dirty line to the buffer with multiple xdraws() call
* copies the current dirty line from buffer to the screen with a single
xcopy() call
this changeset makes st run ~10x faster.
