Consider formally dropping Windows console host support #102

Closed alexrp closed 8 months ago

Newer versions of Windows are going to use Windows Terminal by default. We might want to consider formally dropping support for the Windows console host (cmd.exe).

There's an increasing amount of VT features that Windows Terminal supports but the Windows console host does not. Similarly, whenever we have to work around Windows-specific issues, we could at least avoid having to care about the Windows console host.

As mentioned in #68, dropping Windows console host support would allow us to get rid of the ugly UTF-16 input workaround.
