Summary
Add streaming text infrastructure for terminal UIs with two modes of operation:
Persisted mode (
StreamMode.Persisted): Full buffer retained with scroll support, auto-scroll when at bottom, viewport-based rendering. Suitable for chat messages, logs, full LLM output.Windowed mode (
StreamMode.Windowed): Rolling buffer (last N lines), no scroll, "ticker tape" effect. Suitable for ephemeral content like thinking indicators where only recent content matters.Components Added

Usage Examples
```csharp
// Persisted mode for chat/logs (default)
var chat = StreamingText.CreatePersisted();
chat.Append("Hello ");
chat.Append("world!\n");
chat.ScrollUp(3);
// Windowed mode for thinking indicators
var thinking = StreamingText.CreateWindowed(windowSize: 2);
thinking.Append("Processing step 1...\n");
thinking.Append("Processing step 2...\n");
thinking.Append("Processing step 3...\n"); // Step 1 is now discarded
```
Demo Application
Added a streaming chat demo using Akka.NET to simulate LLM behavior:
The demo showcases both streaming modes:
