Parser for implementing virtual terminal emulators in Rust.

The parser is implemented according to Paul Williams' ANSI parser state machine. The state machine doesn't assign meaning to the parsed data and is thus not itself sufficient for writing a terminal emulator. Instead, it is expected that an implementation of the Perform trait which does something useful with the parsed data. The Parser handles the book keeping, and the Perform gets to simply handle actions.
