[PATCH] strbuf_add_wrapped_text(): skip over colour codes

["René Scharfe" <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx>]

Ignore display mode escape sequences (colour codes) for the purpose of
text wrapping because they don't have a visible width.

Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx>

Renamed function to document its purpose and limitation, and remove
the note that is obsoleted by this patch.
