Cgo impress terminal

This is a part of cross-platform GUI Library for Go. See https://github.com/codeation/impress

The Cgo terminal is a Go version of the impress terminal with minimal C code (GTK-3 library, etc.).

Reasons to have a version of Cgo besides the C version:

• Clean logic of using GTK-3.
• A place to inject high-level code on the terminal side for debugging or benchmarking.

To run this example on Debian/ Ubuntu:

1. Install gcc, make, pkg-config if you don't have them installed.

2. Install GTK+ 3 libraries if you don't have them installed:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

1. Build impress terminal from source:

git clone https://github.com/codeation/itlog.git
cd it
go build -o it-log ./cmd
cd ..

1. Then run example:

git clone https://github.com/codeation/impress.git
cd impress
IMPRESS_TERMINAL_PATH=../itlog/it-log go run ./examples/simple/

Steps 0-2 are needed to build a Cgo version of impress terminal.
