Shell integration

See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/iterm2-discuss/URKCBtS0228/rs5Ive4PCAAJ
for documentation on the sequences,
https://github.com/gnachman/iterm2-website/tree/master/source/misc for example
implementations, and https://iterm2.com/shell_integration.html for a list of
what this lets you do in iTerm2.

Usage
=====

Say you have a basic REPL like::

    input> run-command
    command output

where ``input>`` is the prompt, ``run-command`` is the command typed by the user,
and ``command output`` is the output of ``run-command``. The basic REPL (in Python
3), would be::

    while True:
        before_prompt()
        print("input> ", end='')
        after_prompt()
        command = input()
        before_output()
        return_val = run_command(command)
        after_output(return_val)

(here ``return_val`` should be in the range 0-255).

Note that it is recommended to use the functions (like ``before_prompt()``) or the
context managers (like ``with Prompt()``) rather than the variables (like
``BEFORE_PROMPT``) directly. These print the codes directly to stdout, avoiding
potential issues with character counting.

It may be preferable to use the context managers rather than the functions,
in which case, the REPL would be::

    while True:
        with Prompt():
            print("input> ", end='')
        command = input() # raw_input() in Python 2
        with Output() as o:
            return_val = run_command(command)
            o.set_command_status(return_val)

However, in many cases, it is impossible to run functions before and after the
prompt, e.g., when the prompt text is passed to ``(raw_)input()`` directly. In
that case, you should use the codes directly, wrapped with
``readline_invisible()``, like::

    while True:
        command = input(
            readline_invisible(BEFORE_PROMPT) +
            "input> " +
            readline_invisible(AFTER_PROMPT
        ) # raw_input() in Python 2
        with Output() as o:
            return_val = run_command(command)
            o.set_command_status(return_val)

Using ``readline_invisible()`` is important as it tells readline to not count the
codes as visible text. Without this, readline's editing and history commands
will truncate text.

Notes about iTerm2:

- iTerm2 assumes that the prompt sequences will be presented in a reasonable
  way. Using the context managers should prevent most issues.

- The text that comes after the prompt before the first newline is read as a
  command. If there is no command, or the command is just whitespace, the
  output is effectively ignored (the same as if two before/after prompt
  sequences were performed without any output sequence).

- iTerm2 does  not support capturing  multiline commands, although  the output
  won't  include  any part  of  the  command  if ``before_output()``  is  used
  correctly.

- iTerm2 expects there to be nothing between ``AFTER_OUTPUT`` and
  ``BEFORE_PROMPT``, except possibly more shell sequences. At the time of this
  writing, iTerm2's "Select Output of Last Command" actually selects the text
  between ``BEFORE_OUTPUT`` and ``BEFORE_PROMPT``, not ``BEFORE_OUTPUT`` and
  ``AFTER_OUTPUT`` as one would expect.

- Multiline prompts are supported just fine, although the arrow will always be
  presented on the first line. It is not recommended to attempt to change this
  by not including part of the prompt between the prompt sequences (see the
  previous bullet point).
