Libghostty 1.0

Libghostty, the C library for terminal emulation extracted from Ghostty, has reached version 1.0 with a stable, semantically versioned ABI. JetBrains IDEs now use it, reaching over 12.5 million active users, and Neovim has an approved pull request to replace libvterm with it. Vercel's Turborepo, devenv and OrbStack already embed it, and community bindings exist for many languages. The library is MIT licensed, needs only libc by default, can be built freestanding, and supports Linux, macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, FreeBSD and WebAssembly. A test ran 10,000 active terminals on a 4-core, 8GB Linux server.
