v1.16.0

Improvements

naifalziadna contributed BiDi support for SwiftTerm which improves arabic/hebrew and support the new extension for terminals which brings a much more pleasant environment for folks that are mixing content in languages. I built on his contribution to complete the support, but also to ensure that we did not regress in performance - and while doing so, improved the baseline performance over v1.15.0 and included new tests suites that we can use moving forward to ensure we keep our speed in check.
