This PR modifies the GAP banner on startup to show a rendering of the new logo. If the terminal encoding is UTF-8 it does this with nice Unicode dot characters, but falls back to letter o symbols otherwise.

As mentioned in Issue #6128, there is a possible concern with text wrapping. In an 80-character terminal some lines will be unnecessarily wrapped early due to the colour escape codes. I tried looking into the line-wrapping logic, but it was beyond me!

The line wrapping code also suffers from other issues: it does not honor UTF-8 encoding (where multi bytes can lead to a single "glyph" being printed), nor does it know about double-wide glyphs.
