Switch from gocui to tview #261

The gocui seems to be dead (no activity for 2 years) and is built on termbox-go which is unsupported now.

The new hotness seems to be tview which is built on tcell (I guess?)

Either way, I see problems with terminals, etc. and it seems like using a better terminal library would help.

I agree but haven't had any pressing issues that have forced me to refactor just yet (which, btw, would be a fairly large refactor). I have been tracking the effort of @mjarkk and others on https://github.com/awesome-gocui/gocui/pull/45 , an implementation of gocui on tcell. This would make the migration effort pretty simple when/if completed.
