filters: rewrite colorize in c
Since its introduction, we had multiple issues with the colorize awk
script with regard to non-GNU awk compatibility.
Also, this script is standalone and the color theme must be hard coded
into it. Reading from an external configuration file (aerc's styleset)
from a non-GNU awk is close to impossible (and even far from trivial
with GNU awk).
Rewrite the builtin colorize filter in C to allow getting the color
theme from aerc's active styleset. The theme is configured using the
existing styleset syntax and attributes under a separate [viewer]
section (see examples and man page).
Export the active styleset file path to AERC_STYLESET env var when
invoking the filter command so that colorize can access it and use it.
I have tested compilation (with clang-analyzer and gcc -fanalyzer) and
basic operation on FreeBSD, Fedora (glibc) and Alpine (muslibc). More
tests would probably be required on MacOSX and older Linux distros.
I also added test vectors to give some confidence that this works as
expected. The execution with these vectors passed valgrind
--leak-check=full without errors.
NB: the default theme has changed to be more minimal. Sample stylesets
have more colorful examples. The awk -v theme=xxx option is no longer
supported.
usage: colorize [-h] [-s FILE] [-f FILE]
options:
-h show this help message
-s FILE use styleset file (default $AERC_STYLESET)
-f FILE read from filename (default stdin)
