    Add support for both, ncurses and ncursesw.

    Add documentation for the "-u" and "-U" options.

    src/oping.h: Don't use the ncurses internal _nc_unicode_locale() function.
    
    The "-u" and "-U" options are now handled in a single variable so that the
    last option "wins".

commit a58f361afd7a6e0d2b112806bd280d173faf9bef

    add commandline flag for forcing or disabling unicode
    
    note that "forcing" may not work: ncurses still expects your locale to
    be correct, so maybe the force flag should also explicitely set a utf8
    locale?

    move unicode detection to a separate function
    
    this will ease transition to a commandline option override

    autodetect unicode, and fallback to ACS scancodes on failure
    
    this is fairly ugly - we use a hidden ncurses function to detect
    unicode (but at least we don't reimplement it), then we mess around
    with the character arrays to display the rights symbols
    
    i am not sure i like this, but i prefer to braindump than to stall, so
    let's move forward.

commit 44e296d605a06a782f4520ace6cb67a2cbe85525
Author: Florian Forster <ff at octo.it>
Date:   Thu Dec 5 18:15:52 2013 +0100

    Refactor the graph printing into its own function.
    
    This makes it much easier and cleaner to add a second, non-Unicode
    implementation and possibly even a non-color version.

    rework scaling algorithm so it covers the whole range
    
    i did this after some stress testing, now it covers the whole range on input

    cleanup safety checks
    
    make sure that if we go beyond the max ratio, we just mark it as one

    restore usual ping display, now that histograms are in a different window

    put histograms into the independent window, to eventually restore ping times display

    implement some prettyping-inspired display instead of textual
    
    this is a first stab at porting "prettyping.sh" into noping. the idea
    is to show a histogram of ping times instead of numerical values. with
    some work, we could actually show both, but this focuses on
    implementing the hard part (the histogram) properly.
    
    it is very rudimentary for now:
    
     * the math may be wrong for the size of the bar, I was mostly in a
       rush to make unicode work and have something pretty quickly.
    
     * all hosts are on the same line: each should have its own line
    
     * the histogram should be displayed in a separate window
    
     * it should use background colors as well
    
     * it should fallback when the terminal is not unicode-capable
    
     * the scaling logic is fully automatic, which necessarily gives weird
       results at first
    
    this requires switching to the ncursesw library and other unicode
    ncurses hackery described in this post:
