crash on IRM escape code

[Glyph Lefkowitz]

This python program:

import sys

sys.stdout.write("\x1b[4h ")

will reliably crash any VTE-based terminal.

This bug is new in Feisty. Neither edgy nor dapper have the problem.

This upload fixes the bug:

 vte (1:0.16.1-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version:
     - Lots of bug fixes by Chris Wilson
     - New feature: mouse scroll-wheel now feeds three arrow-up/down keys to the
       terminal if in the "alternate" mode. The alternate mode is used by apps
       like vim, less, emacs, screen, etc. This makes the scroll-wheel usable
       in a state that it was of no use before.
     - Bugs fixed in this release:
       - vte often passes NUL to functions requiring valid unichar
       - Links do not get highlighted anymore
       - URL matching doesn't work with PCRE
       - crash on IRM escape code (Ubuntu: #103095)
       - Make scroll wheel send Page Up/Down when it makes sense
       - vte_terminal_set_color_highlight should test for
         NULL before _vte_debug_print
       - vte appears at the top of the root window even when
         packed at the bottom of it
       - glyph can be cropped with not fitting in a cell
       - Does not handle expose events whilst processing unseen incoming data
       - Improve performance of vte_terminal_insert_char()
       - Opacity ignored for vtexft
       - Asymmetric scrolling with mouse wheel
       - Rendering glitch as autowrapped chars are outside invalidated bbox
       - Rendering glitch: double draw of line below exposed region
       - Invalid read when drawing preedit cursor
       - Scrolling bug exposed by nvi
   * debian/patches/80_changes_for_python_vte_dbg.patch:
     - updated
   * debian/rules:
     - update translations template
