The terminal-allocation audit settled the protocol's OSC number on 1717 (unused
by every surveyed terminal — see diff-line-metadata-osc-spec.md), retiring the
456 placeholder. Rename the host side to match: the gocui carrier that accumulates
and reads back the sequence, the parser, and the handshake env var the pager
subprocess is given (now EMIT_OSC1717_METADATA). Flip the design notes and spec
from 'rename pending' to done.
The delta and difftastic emitters are renamed in their own repos.

Add mechanism #2 to GetDiffLineInfo: when a patched pager annotated each diff
line with OSC 456 metadata, read it back as the first backend, ahead of the
buffer parser (#1) and the lazygit-edit hyperlink. It is strictly higher
fidelity -- it carries the side explicitly, so it serves the renderings #1
cannot parse (delta's default mode, --line-numbers, diff-so-fancy) and conveys
deletions, which the hyperlink can't.
The host advertises the protocol versions it understands by setting
EMIT_OSC456_METADATA on the pager subprocess; a pager that doesn't understand
it ignores the variable, so this is safe to set unconditionally.

The focused main view's click/enter/e/G handlers all need the same thing: given
a rendered diff row, the patch-space line it corresponds to. Until now that came
solely from delta's lazygit-edit:// hyperlinks, which only carry a path and a
single line number — no side. That's lossy: for a deletion the number is the old
line, but the consumers fed it into new-file lookups, and two consecutive
deletions (which share a new-file line number) couldn't be told apart at all.
Replace GetFileAndLineForClickedDiffLine with GetDiffLineInfo, returning the
fuller (file, type, new-line, old-line) record from diff-line-metadata-notes.md.
This is mechanism #1: parse the decolorized view buffer — walk up to the file's
"diff --git" section, reuse patch.Parse on it (splitting multi-file commit diffs
on the "diff --git" boundaries), and read the type and line numbers off the patch
arithmetic. It serves the structure-preserving renderings — no pager, git diff
--color, and delta --color-only without line numbers — with no external
dependency.
To avoid trusting a mis-parse, the parser bails when a hunk's body no longer
matches its header (Patch.IsWellFormed). That's what happens when a pager keeps
the diff/hunk headers but restructures the body: delta's line-number gutters push
the +/- marker off the start of each line, so every body line reads as context.
Such renderings fall through to the next backend rather than yielding a confident
wrong answer. (diff-so-fancy goes further and rewrites the headers too, so it
fails even earlier, on the missing "diff --git".)
GetDiffLineInfo is a seam with swappable backends: the buffer parser first, then
the old hyperlink reader as a fallback for renderings the parser can't handle
(delta's default mode, or delta with line-number gutters). The future #2 OSC
per-cell metadata reader plugs in ahead of both, behind the same record shape.
Wire the consumers to the record per that doc's field mapping:
- dive into staging/patch building lands on the exact patch line, looking a
deletion up by its old-file line number (PatchLineForOldLineNumber) so the
two-deletions case resolves correctly;
- `e` edits at the new-file line;
- `G` anchors the PR link on the left (old) side for a deletion, the right (new)
side otherwise.
The hyperlink fallback can't convey the side, so it reports DiffLineOther, which
the consumers treat as a non-deletion — i.e. exactly today's behavior.
