Update API to match Quixe

3

These follow the changes in https://github.com/erkyrath/glkote/issues/46 , https://github.com/erkyrath/quixe/issues/48 . In zvm.js, the lines: // The Quixe API expects the start function to be named init this.init = this.start; ...must be...

Added the ability to process in the background

I needed to be able to periodically check stuff in the background and (if necessary) interrupt the read, print, and restart the read. This PR supports that.

Because it's basically stdio. See https://github.com/erkyrath/lectrote/issues/107.

(And return true on gestalt_GraphicsCharInput.) Once this works, we can allow RemGlk to support it and test the feature end-to-end.

It should give more storage capacity than localStorage. We'll still want to fall back to localStorage if IndexedDB isn't available.
