vim8 event loop and channels

[equalsraf]

Testing on top of https://github.com/equalsraf/vim-qt/pull/11, terminal seems to be working.

I did not get a chance to look at FEAT_TIMERS, we are definitely no handling that. And the mch wait_for_char seems to have changed a lot, so I'm not sure how to handle it.

Hmm jumped it to quick, seems like in my case its not working, I have zsh as my shell and am still having issues with :terminal in the gui

[equalsraf]

What happened exactly? does it work with other shells?

In my case nothing got displayed in the terminal window.

I just get a black half screen where the terminal should be, but nothing else, and can't properly close after issueing :terminal

I just compiled it from master then ran src/vim -u NONE -U NONE -g

sigh, it seems i forgot to add some code in that pr, quick hack

edit: i have not checked any deeper for correctness, so its possible im doing this in the wrong place
