Test extended curses colors. Make your terminal kind of big for this one. Like 35 lines, 105 columns.

	# Test program for ncurses extended color pairs. (by Sam Foster, may 2024)
	#
	# Generates 256 foreground colors, background color 0, to use the first 256 color pairs.
	# Then does the same for BG color 1, then 2, etc. until we have 256 * 256 pairs.
	#
	# If it works, we should end up with every combination of FG colors 0-255 and BG colors 0-255.
	# If it doesn't work right, the color pairs repeat themselves.
