Separate parsing from rendering to eliminate per-character GDI calls.
ProcessChar now only updates cell data in memory; rendering is deferred
to FlipToScreen which batches consecutive same-color cells into single
TextOut calls (~5-10 per row instead of 80). Partial BitBlt transfers
only the dirty row band to the screen. Non-blinking rows render to one
buffer and BitBlt to the second, halving GDI work for typical content.
Also removes redundant GetCommError from KPComm receive path and adds
BeginUpdate/EndUpdate batching in the test app's CommEvent handler.

Replace TBitmap back buffer with raw GDI memory DC to prevent Delphi's
TCanvas from overriding the OEM_CHARSET font selection. Add OUT_RASTER_PRECIS
to CreateFontIndirect to ensure Windows maps to a true CP437 raster font
instead of a TrueType substitution. Optimize paint loop with fixed char
array instead of string concatenation. Restore Update call in ParseData
so WM_PAINT is not starved by WM_COMMNOTIFY. Add text blink support via
timer-driven FG/BG toggling and store blink as cell attribute instead of
mapping to bright background.

Handle ENQ (0x05), ESC[c (Device Attributes), ESC[5n (Device Status
Report), and ESC[6n (Cursor Position Report). Responses are sent
back through OnKeyData so BBSes can detect ANSI terminal capability.

TKPAnsi is a TCustomControl descendant providing a visual ANSI terminal
with 16-color palette, scrollback buffer, blinking cursor, and ANSI music.
Supports CSI sequences (cursor movement, erase, SGR colors/attributes,
insert/delete lines/chars, scroll), DEC private modes (wrap, cursor
visibility), and keyboard translation (arrows, function keys, etc.).
Test app (TESTMAIN.PAS) updated to wire TKPAnsi to TKPComm as a
full terminal: received data feeds the terminal display, keystrokes
are sent out the serial port.
