a97b8043b5 utf8: non-character U+fffe as invalid codepoint
Unicode non-characters [1] are guaranteed to never be used for a
character. The formerly used U+fffd however is a valid character - the
replacement character [2] correctly displayed by Qt5 as <?>.

22327b43ae Refactor terminal for intrinsic Unicode support
Refactor the graphical terminal server to internally represent
characters as 16-bit codepoints and handle the duplex terminal stream as
UTF-8.

- Make the Codepoint class printable to the Output interface
- Decode data received at the Terminal session from UTF-8 to a 16-bit
  character
- Pass 16-bit characters through terminal decoder and char-cell arrays
- Send Unicode through terminal session in a burst of UTF-8 bytes

Fix #3148
