6b99697e82 [ui] Get flowed views working with ECS
I'm not particularly happy with the way onresize is handled, but at this
stage a better way of dealing with resizing views and getting the child
views to flow correctly hasn't come to mind. However, the system should
at least be usable.

817aeb334e [ui] Convert view_t to an ECS entity
Much of the nq/qw HUD system is quite broken, but the basic status bar
seems to be working nicely. As is the console (both client and server).
Possibly the biggest benefit is separating the rendering of HUD elements
from the updating of them, and much less traversing of invisible views
whose only purpose is to control the positioning of the visible views.

The view flow tests are currently disabled until I adapt the flow code
to ECS.

There seems to be a problem with view resizing in that some gravities
don't follow resizing correctly.

378584f41d [ui] Add functions for flow-based automatic layout
This should be suitable for laying out text objects with word-wrap,
where each view is a "word" or break between "words". This should be
useful for any other objects that could benefit from similar layout
rules. All eight flows are supported left-right-top-down (English and
most European languages), right-left-top-down (Arabic and similar),
top-down-right-left (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), top-down-left-right,
as well as bottom-up variants of those four.

More work is needed for support of things like views being centered on
the flow line rather than on one edge (depends on flow direction),
offset views, and others. Suppression of "spaces" at the beginning of a
line is supported but not tested.
