I didn't do this; volunteers are welcome.

I fixed this.  The problem was that w32_draw_rectangle wiped out what
was drawn inside it; I switched the order, so the box is drawn before
the glyphs inside it.  Jason, could you please take a look and see if
I did everything right?

Assuming that on X the order doesn't matter (does it?), perhaps we
should switch the order there as well, for uniformity.

Not done; I have no idea how to do this.

In addition, I did this:

 . renamed glyphless-char-control to glyphless-char-display-control

 . renamed hexa-code to hex-code.

 . changed TTY display top enclose U+nnnn and "empty box" displays in
   "[]", to simulate a box and make the display easier to read.

 . documented this feature in NEWS and in the manual.

There are a few issues with TTY display, see my other mail.
