Added NAWS negotiation to telnet protocol, for negotiating the client width/height. Use session.get_client_size() to get a tuple of (width, height) for the current output window. Not currently supported by the webclient. Also added options settings.CLIENT_DEFAULT_WIDTH and -HEIGHT for having a fallback. Note that none of Evennia's default systems currently use this width information.
