866414a528 ui: provide a more useful transaction register
The register screen is now like the register view in hledger-web (and
other accounting systems), rather than hledger's register command.
This means:

- it shows transactions affecting a particular current account, rather
  than postings matching a pattern.

- Each line represents a whole transaction.

- The account field shows the *other* account being transacted with.
  When there is more than one, they are all listed, abbreviated and
  marked with "(split)".

- The amount field shows the effect of the transaction on the current
  account; positive for an inflow to this account, negative for an
  outflow.

- The balance field should usually show the current account's historic
  balance as of the transaction date, even when you change the report
  start date. (Not working yet - currently it always shows the running
  total).

- Transactions are listed most recent first, currently.

49e1840a0f ui: rewrite the ui using brick
hledger-ui (formerly hledger-vty) is now built on brick, a new
declarative UI layer built on vty. This brings much new power, and
should make the UI much easier to grow and maintain.

At this point, functionality and performance are similar to the old
version. There's no journal entries screen, but entering the postings
screen jumps to the latest posting, and layout is better (multiple
commodities are rendered on one line).

Requires unreleased brick from github (HEAD or some branch) for now.
