ANSI chains are a new feature inspired by Kazuyoshi Tlacaelel's Isna project. It is a fluid notation for the String#ansi method, e.g. `"foo".red.on_white`. Also, ASNI now supports "smart codes", preventing previously applied codes from undermining the applicaiton of additional codes --a subtle issue that most other ANSI libraries overlook. Plus a few other improvements including that of the API documentation.
Changes:
* Add ANSI::Chains, extending String#ansi method.
* Support smart code application.
* Add Diff#to_a and shortcut to it via Diff.diff().
* Improve #colorize method in ProgressBar.
* Change ProgressBar's default mark to `|` instead of `o`.
* Fix Curses return order of screen cols and rows.
* Support center alignment in Columns.
* Support custom padding for Columns.
