Hi

 * clean up a bunch of layout errors when changing modes.

 * Supports multiple term types, allowing systems that don't recognize
'magiterm' as a valid term type can re-request and it will send 'ansi-bbs' if it doesn't like that they can re-request and it will send 'unknown' (with telnet) with ssh a system can reject the pty request with 'magiterm' as it's term type and it will try again with 'ansi-bbs' if it rejects 'unknown' it will disconnect.

 * Fix for sending NAWS, I was sending NAWS without being asked to properly,
this made mbse choke.

Thoughts on term type: I don't think sending 'magiterm' as a term type is incorrect. it will allow bbs systems to take advantage of magiterm features if they choose to support it going forward. syncterm does the same thing. I've tested with mystic, synchronet, mbse, linux terminal, some c64 boards and the only thing that has a problem is enigma 1/2. Enigma 1/2 defaults to utf-8 on an unknown terminal type - that's the only issue there. I've talked with bryan about this but seems we're not agreeing on this, bryan's a good friend so i don't want to push it, so for the time being, use syncterm to connect to enigma 1/2 boards. (or netrunner i suppose) just be aware that i know it's not working with enigma 1/2

I have added the option to cycle term types, and may also add the option in the future to force a particular term type.
