Moved phosphor decay into the 4th byte of the RGB union--should’ve done this
-in 2022. What was I thinking.
+in 2022; What was I thinking.
Keeping the RGB union despite portability concerns. All my systems are
little-endian and the code is cleaner this way.
Fixed Unicode by introducing a charset array. UNICODE(min, max) packs Unicode
-ranges into uint64--low four bytes for start, high four bytes for end.
+ranges into uint64: low four bytes for start, high four bytes for end.
insert_code() unpacks a random block and picks a character from it:
```
+#define UNICODE(min, max) (((uint64_t)max << 32) | min)
+
static uint64_t glyphs[] = {
UNICODE(0x0021, 0x007E), /* ASCII */
UNICODE(0xFF65, 0xFF9F), /* Half-width Katakana */
};

-Full-width Katakana breaks column alignment. Stick to half-width
-(U+FF61-U+FF9F) range. Compile with -DNOKANA to disable Katakana altogether.

-blend() simulates phosphor decay by eroding RGB channels toward
-background color:

Tossed license and automake cruft. Just `cc -O3 main.c -o matrix` now. Don't
need the ceremony.
-Runs at 2-3% CPU on OpenBSD (T490). No regressions. Fans are quiet.
