Fix missing screen refresh when new posts arrive.

The rework of resize handling had the accidental side effect that when
the self-pipe from the stream-watching thread signals us, we do call
extend_future() on our feeds, but we _don't_ loop back round to the
screen redraw, so that if the user is sitting in their home timeline,
the bottom line of the screen doesn't update to show that new stuff is
available.

That last-minute idea to bound pos_within_item within the actual size
of the item ... forgot that each logical item (e.g. a status) is made
up of multiple physical items (paragraphs, separator line, etc), so I
bounded it within _those_ and made a mess. Should be back to normal now.

Fix resizing the window smaller.

Some weird sequence of events was triggering an attempted redraw at
the old size, before properly noticing the change and redrawing at the
new size. When going from smaller to bigger this just caused a display
flicker (in fact not even a perceptible one), but bigger to smaller
caused an exception when we tried to draw a big screen in a small
window and curses caught us printing outside the screen area.

Now seems to work better.

Bodgy fix for poor performance of wcwidth.

Mastodonochrome was running rather slowly, and when I profiled it, it
turned out the bottleneck was the 'wcwidth' Python module, which is
not a wrapper on the C function, but a reimplementation in pure Python
and therefore not very fast.

I've bodged it by just making one big cache of all the strings that
the program ever passes to wcwidth, since there were only two calls to
that function at all and they were both in text.py. I don't know if
that's the right fix in the long term, but it seems to have improved
things considerably for now.

(Also, while I'm at it, ColouredString now wcwidths its contents once
at construction time and doesn't redo it on every call, so it doesn't
even look up the same thing in the cache multiple times.)
