Port width/wcswidth/wcstwidth, wrap, clip, escape, and SGR to C11 (libwcwidth) with utf8 or codepoints/u32 API's, and and codepoints/u32 terminal override support. Note that for the higher level functions, the u32 variants are slow -- they convert to utf8 then back to u32, and so the utf8 functions are preferred. Exposed the C11 library as an optional CPython extension, which should drastically improve python wcwidth performance, though the real aim was to use the existing python tests and frameworks (ucs-detect) to exercise and verify the C11 code.

I am creating a draft PR for the purpose of working with CI workflows of building wheels and to see performance results of codspeed.
This is only a draft, and will be under review and revision for a while longer, especially the documentation.
