This series enhances the expo text-input handling, particularly for the
textedit object which supports multi-line text.

The vidconsole uses a single shared context for cursor state, which causes
problems when text-input objects need their own cursor blinking. This series
adds dedicated vidconsole contexts for text input, then removes the old
entry save/restore mechanism which is no longer needed.

For multiline editing , this series adds support for navigating between
visual lines using Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N. The expo textedit uses text measurement
to position the cursor at the correct pixel location within multi-line text,
maintaining the horizontal position when moving between lines.

The series also fixes some bugs in text-input handling and adds some tests for
rendering and keypress-handling.
