By default text files are line buffered, and this means that -f option will
not write the line until a \n is printed. This is not very useful for
debugging, so a call to fflush was added. This patch substitute this call
(which will be done by each character painted) by the full remove of the
buffering in the file.

If malloc or realloc fail they return NULL. Theorically this condition
should be tested in the code, but it's a strange condition today (basically
if this is hapenning thenyou have a big problem), and even Linux never returns
NULL in the default configuration (only if the process don't have room in
the space address, something a bit impossible in the case of st). But stis
enough small for being executed in low resources computers where this can be
a real problem. So the easy way is creating a wrappers function for them and
call to die in case of error.

st marks the active selection using reverse colors in the box selection, but
once that another window becomes owner of the selection, it is very
confusing that st keeps highlight the old selection. Usually terminal
emulators remove the highlight when it is not valid anymore.
X sends a SelectionClear event in this situation, so we only have to add a
callback which unhighlight the selectin box.

Some programs use the alternative screen (vi, less, ...), whose
content is different of the main screen. If you select text in one of
the screen, you don't wait the box selection is painted in the other
screen, so it is necessary check if the selection was done in the same
screen we are going to paint. Before to this commit, you could do
something like:
$ LESS="" ls | less
(select some code)
q
and selection box remains drawing in the main screen, but the content
of selection keeps text of the alternate screen.

When it is called DECSCNM all lines become dirty, because it is necessary
redraw all lines for getting the new colors. It is easy see the problem
running 'echo ^[[?5h'.
In order to get a correct flash when running tput flash is necessary wait
after DECSCNM, until the changes are displayed, because in other case the
switch between reverse on/reverse off will be too much fast and nothing will
happen.

This is a theorical feature listed in http://st.suckless.org/goals. All the
input/output of the terminal will be written to a file, which can be very
useful for debugging, and also allow interconnect st to other process
through named pipes.

Taken from the description:
When tput init is executed the list of task performed are (taken from
terminfo(5)):
run the program
iprog
output is1 is2
set the margins using
mgc, smgl and smgr
set tabs using
tbc and hts
print the file
if
and finally
output is3.
When reset is executed, a more stronger initialization process is performed,
so the terminal can return from an unknown state. rs1, rs2 and rs3 are used
in this case instead of
using is1, is2 and is3.
This patch makes is2 = rs2, resets insert mode and set normal keypad
mode. For rs1 it performs a full initilization using ^[c.
SM and RM can receive multiple parameters, but the code only was accepting
only one. This patch join the code of set and reset modes (SM and RM) in a
common function and uses a loop which deals with all the arguments of the
sequence. This patch improves xterm and vt100 compability.
