Also removed 1. 2. etc from drive selection
to reduce the line length. Also removed the
space between > and [, ie "> [wipe]" becomes
">[wipe]" These changes remove 3 characters
and help to reduce the affect of the additional
temperature field [30C] which add 5 characters.
Therefore the line length overall, increased by
5-3 = 2 characters.
This helps to reduce line wrapping on 80
character terminals, when the drive model length
exceeds 24 characters.
1. Changed a few nwipe log messages to improve
readability.
2. Added code so that the temperature changes from
- white text = (Temperature within spec)
- red text = max continuous temp reached
- red flashing text = critical upper temperature reached
- black text = minimum continuous temperature reached
- black flashing text = critical lower temperature reached.
Using the 'b' key you can now toggle between
dark/blank/default screens during a wipe.
Added the dark option to prevent TFT/LCD image
persistence.

Benefits include:
1. Standard fixed width output for disk
throughput, combined throughput and disk
capacity. Allows for better column alignment
when wiping multiple drives.
2. Removal of about 40 lines of duplicated code.
Add a spinner to the GUI for each drive being wiped.
When nwipe is syncing the percentage completion pauses,
having a spinner gives a clear indication that the wipe
is still running. Each devices spinner disappears on completion
of a given devices wipe.
These apply in full screen mode ONLY: i.e ALT-F2, Shredos etc.
1. When selecting a drive using up/down arrow keys
2. During a wipe the screen flashes at one second intervals.
These apply in a terminal window such as konsole, tmux etc.
1. When resizing the terminal there was a flicker.
All these problems have been fixed.
Most of the causes of the flicker was an excessive use of wrefresh() which calls
the wnoutrefresh() and doupdate() functions. This can cause flickering when a
number of calls to wrefresh happen at the same time. It is more appropriate to
replace the wrefresh() with wnoutrefresh(), then at an appropriate time call
doupate() just once. The result is that before doupdate() would have been
called multiple times and now it's called once when required.
fixes#115
Also fixes an issue where program exits when terminal resized but
only after all the wipes have finished. You can now resize the
terminal, before, during and after the wipes have completed and
the windows are now all correctly updated and sized.
Updated version to 0.28-pre-release
Removed unnecessary zero of gui thread pointer.
Created six new functions in gui.c in order to fix the above problem
and reduce existing duplicated code.
