Support for wide characters (UTF-8)

on GitHub

Changing to libncursesw as the preferred variant, to ensure proper rendering on UTF-8 terminals.

Fixes

• General

  • proper rendering on UTF-8 terminals (#70),
  • enabled by using libncursesw in place of libncurses,
  • and using wide-characters for rendering where supported.

• Info Screen:

  • properly clear area when updating with new data,
  • do not leave rx / tx empty when no data available (use 'n/a' instead),
  • improve rendering on some terminal types (e.g. ansi),
  • refresh immediately after a window-size change;

• History Screen:

  • do not display noise / SNR levels when such data is not reported by the driver;

• Scan Screen:

  • fix segmentation fault when no CAP_NET_ADMIN permissions (#72),
  • fix locking bug (#78), redoing the original and incorrect fix (#42),
  • as a result, screen now retains data when switching windows;

• Conf Screen:

  • fix memory leak identified in #73,
  • reorganize into sections via separators.

Miscellaneous

• Keyboard shortcuts: can now use 0..9 in place of F10, F1..F9 (#76);
• Scan screen: increased the usable window size by 1 line;
• Build: updated several outdated build/bootstrap files.
