    Greatly reduce memory usage required by Konsole's scrollback buffer and improve releasing of scrollback memory to OS when no longer needed.
    
    * Reduce amount of memory required for representing characters in scrollback buffer by not storing formatting data for each character.  Instead store UTF-16 characters and formatting ranges
    * Allocate memory for scrollback buffer use a custom mmap-based memory pool - this allows the memory to be released to the OS sooner when freed.
    
    There is a small performance cost when printing a large number of lines - see bug report for figures.
