* There are patches on top of Scintilla as were before
* Scinterm has been switched back to the upstream repository and there are unreleased
  commits - especially for out-of-tree builds.
* Lexilla hasn't been released since my troff lexer was merged.

<title>added troff/nroff lexer</title>

* This is optimized for Groff, but works for Heirloom Troff and Neatroff as well.
  Currently, the Heirloom and Neatroff requests are just added ontop of the Groff
  ones. Theoretically, we could also try to separate the keyword lists into
  a base K&amp;R set with Groff, Heirloom and Neatroff ontop.
* The lexer necessarily has many restrictions, as Troff is fundamentally unparseable
  (like classic TECO) and needs a lot of per-request knowledge.
* The "*.mm" extension has been removed from the lexers/cpp.tes.
  I don't know what language this was for, and I prefer `*.mm` files
  to be considered Troff.
* Temporarily changed the lexilla submodule URL.
  The corresponding Lexila lexer is in the process of being upstreamed.
  Once it is, I will probably revert the submodule to the official repository,
  as the "troff" branch is not stable (can be rebased).

<title>updated Scintilla to v5.3.4, Scinterm to v4.1 and Lexilla to v5.2.4</title>

* actually everything is updated to their current HEADs but the aforementioned versions are close.
* Scintilla uses threads now, so we added checks for pthread.
  To be on the safe side, we imported AX_PTHREAD from the Autoconf archives.
  The flags are kept out of the ordinary build system, though and used only for compiling Scintilla
  and for linking.
  SciTECO may also use threads, but via Glib.
* Scinterm removed SCI_COLOR_PAIR(), so we re-added it to src/interface-curses/interface.c.
* There is an Asciidoc lexer now.
* The &lt;Ix$&gt; interruption bug (see TODO) is not fixed by this upgrade.
  Perhaps the Mac OS version runs better now. Feedback is needed (refs #12).

<title>upgraded to Scintilla 5.1.3 and Scinterm 3.1</title>

* Previous Scintilla version was 3.6.4 and Scinterm was 1.7 (with lots of custom patches).
  All of the patches are now either irrelevant or have been merged upstream.
* Since Scintilla 5 requires C++17, this increases the minimum GCC version at least
  to 5.0. We may actually require even newer versions.
* I could not upgrade the scintilla-mirror (which was imported from Mercurial),
  so the old sciteco-dev branch was renamed to sciteco-dev-pre-v2.0.0,
  master was deleted and I reimported the entire Scintilla repo using
  git-remote-hg.
  This means that scintilla-mirror now contains two entirely separate trees.
  But it is still possible to clone old SciTECO repos.
* The strategy/workflow of maintaining hotfix branches on scintilla-mirror has been changed.
  Instead of having one sciteco-dev branch that is rebased onto new Scintilla upstream
  releases and tagging SciTECO releases in scintilla-mirror (to keep the commits referenced),
  we now create a branch for every Scintilla version we are based on (eg. sciteco-rel-5-1-3).
  This branch is never rebased or deleted. Therefore, we are guaranteed to be able to
  clone arbitrary SciTECO repo commits - not only releases.
  Releases no longer have to be tagged in scintilla-mirror.
  On the downside, fixup commits may accumulate in these new branches.
  They can only be squashed once a new branch for a new Scintilla release is created
  (e.g. by cherry-picking followed by rebase).
* Scinterm does no longer have to reside in the Scintilla subdirectory,
  so we added it as a regular submodule.
  There are no more recursive submodules.
  The Scinterm build system has not been improved at all, but we use
  a trick based on VPATH to build Scinterm in scintilla/bin/.
* Scinterm is now in Git and we reference the upstream repo for the
  time being.
  We might mirror it and apply the same branching workflow as with Scintilla
  if necessary.
  The scinterm-mirror repository still exists but has not been touched.
  We will also have to rewrite its master branch as it was a non-reproducible
  Mercurial import.
* Scinterm now also comes with patches for Scintilla which we simply applied
  on our sciteco-rel-5-1-3 branch.
* Scintilla 5 outsourced its lexers into the Lexilla project.
  We added it as yet another submodule.
* All submodules have been moved into contrib/.
* The Scintilla API for setting lexers has consequently changed.
  We now have to call SCI_SETILEXER(0, CreateLexer(name)).
  As I did not want to introduce a separate command for setting lexers,
  &lt;ES&gt; has been extended to allow setting lexers by name with the SCI_SETILEXER
  message which effectively replaces SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE.
* The lexer macros (SCLEX_...) no longer serve any purpose - they weren't used
  in the SciTECO standard library anyway - and have consequently been removed
  from symbols-scilexer.c.
  The style macros from SciLexer.h (SCE_...) are theoretically still useful - even
  though they are not used by our current color schemes - and have therefore been
  retained. They can be specified as wParam in &lt;ES&gt;.
* &lt;ES&gt; no longer allows symbolic constants for lParam.
  This never made any sense since all supported symbols were always wParam.
* Scinterm supports new native cursor modes.
  They are not used for the time being and the previous CARETSTYLE_BLOCK_AFTER
  caret style is configured by default.
  It makes no sense to enable native cursor modes now since the
  command line should have a native cursor but is not yet a Scintilla view.
* The Scintilla upgrade performed much worse than before,
  so some optimizations will be necessary.
