Subject: [PATCH] fix(ui): gate redraw on suspend flag to stop bleed-through
 over editor

The editor rewrite (async g_child_watch) dropped the background_mode
guard that paused the main loop while an external editor (e.g. nano)
runs. ui_update/ui_resize/ui_redraw instead self-guarded on isendwin(),
which is unreliable: any doupdate() during the editor session (e.g. the
readline redisplay after the alt+c keypress) clears it, after which the
~10Hz main-loop ui_update() repaints the status bar, chat window and
input pad over the editor. The most visible artifact is the per-minute
status-bar clock digit bleeding through onto the editor screen.

Track suspension explicitly with a ui_suspended flag set in
ui_suspend()/ui_resume() and gate ui_update/ui_resize/ui_redraw on it
(kept alongside isendwin() for the shutdown/closed-screen case). The
flag stays TRUE for the whole editor session regardless of isendwin
flapping, so nothing repaints over the editor.
