Support combining characters. (#121)

Modify the ftxui::Pixel. Instead of storing a wchar, store a
std::wstring. Now a single pixel can store multiple codepoints.
If a codepoint is of size <=0, it will be appended to the previous
pixel.

Only ftxui::text() is supported. ftxui::vtext support still needs to be
added.

This causes the following CPU and memory regression:
- Memory: Pixel size increases by 200% (16 byte => 48byte).
- CPU:    Draw/Second decrease by 62.5% (16k draw/s => 6k draw/s on 80x80)

Both regressions are acceptable. There are still two orders of magnitude
(100x) before the levels where performance/memory concerns begins.
