Michael Vetter 3e16ae1def feat(ui): implement dynamic pad resizing
The ncurses pad used for rendering window history had a fixed height of 100
lines, which caused "Ncurses Overflow!" errors and broke scrolling once
the content exceeded this limit.

This commit replaces the fixed limit with a dynamic resizing strategy.
We use a minimum height of 100 lines.
If a pad reaches its threshold of 3000 lines, a full redraw is triggered
to reclaim space from discarded messages and reset the pad height.
Pads are shrunk back to the minimum height during every redraw to
minimize memory usage for inactive windows.

Message history should always be smoothly scrollable now.

d7e46d64fe set it from 1000 to 10000.
f27fa98717 set it from 1000 to 100.
Probably also relevant is 4fe2c423b1.
