Draw a blank for a double-width character cut off at the edge of a view

A double-width character that starts in the last column of a view is
drawn over the view's frame. One that is scrolled halfway out to the
left is skipped, and the column it reaches into isn't drawn at all. The
draw loop clips cells against the edges of the view as if every cell
were one column wide.

A terminal can't show half of a double-width character. So draw a blank
in the column that is on screen, in the character's colors, and let the
selection highlight cover that column like any other.
