Fix & test Windows bracketed pasting issue

[Splines]

Closes #18.

This fixes an annoying Windows bug. See the Wiki for more details. What this PR does is apply the Python patch I presented here. It will create the respective patch files under your site-packages of your Python installation (it also works in virtual environments). Two new files are added, see the Wiki.

TODO:

• Remove print statements in patch

@mitkonikov At the end, I was just fed up with encoding errors, so I've decided to base64-encode the file and then decode it in Python itself. And finally, it works 💫

Could you please remove the patch files manually in your Python installation that you use when running the extension, as well as inside /tmp/manimVenv/<subfolder>, then:

• Run the tests
• Run the extension and test manually via the laggy scene

Hopefully, this will be the last time ;) In the latest commit, I've removed the temporary console.log() statements and ran all tests. And the pipeline is green now ✅

LGTM! The Windows tests work locally too! So, to me this is already mergable! And we can move on to testing the Manim --version thing, because this bugs me out and I had to bypass it locally to run the tests properly.

The Windows tests work locally too!

Nice, great to hear that it finally works 🎉. I hope I will never have to patch anything again in my life, this was such an awful dev experience to get to this point with a working patch. Fingers crossed that this closes #18 once and for all and that no quirky workarounds like manually appending escape sequences or adding manual timeouts etc. are needed anymore.

Thanks a lot for helping out @mitkonikov in identifying the causes and providing useful guidance for fixing this.

@Splines You are welcomed, it was a pleasure! Ideally, we should contact Grant and maybe try to one day fix it inside Manim itself (maybe by adding a flag or something, is this possible from inside Manim?). Because this is still a very invasive patch. But, for now, it's all good. ✨

Your motivation to do so is obviously stronger since you're a Windows users ;) Feel free to open a new issue on the Manim repo.

is this possible from inside Manim?

If we can fix it here in TypeScript, it can also be fixed directly in Manim, yes ;) But in the best case, the underlying issue is fixed instead of deploying patches everywhere. But who knows when this will be the case...
