    Reduce frame timeout to 100ms

    Telestar 2.0 (used by Glass TTY and others) has a requirement for
    100ms between characters, which is why the original streaming mode
    didn't work. Reducing the inter-frame delay from two seconds to
    100 ms potentially makes downloads up to twenty times faster.

    Detect Telstar-2 systems and only slow down downloads there

    For all other Prestel systems, us a minimal (1ms) delay betwen
    frames.

    No need to punish all Prestel systems just because Telstar sometimes
    tosses out a # that arrives "too soon"

    Fixes for massive 11,550 frame download from CCL4

    Do not log an error when "unknown size" downloads complete.
    Don't list remaining time for files of unknown size.

    Handle retransmitted old frames better

    We can recover from this by moving to the next frame/page... only
    unrecoverable if a frame is skipped.

    Avoid the need for *00 at end of CET Telesoftware download

    Just buffer everything from the last clear-screen to the end of
    the transfer, then display it after the download.

    While we're here, clean up the error handling a bit, and complicate begin_download() to offset that.

    With the cleanup code added, any free()s need to be set to NULL...
    But there's no reason to call free in the first place anymore.

    Fix two issues

    When the terminal was 40 columns wide, the status bar update wrote
    out of bounds of the allocation. Fixed two ways.

    Remaining blocks in CET Telesoftware downloads were not properly
    updated for retries.
