OSC8 escape sequences allow for marking up hyperlinks in the terminal. An optional `id` parameter is defined to allow applications to signal to the terminal that (potentially) broken character sequences belong to the same URL and should be treated as if they were connected. Add support for optional id parameters, set by the application. Update test case for ti.EnterUrl. Fixes: gdamore#568 Reference: https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda#hover-underlining-and-the-id-parameter

OSC-8 hyperlinks can be assigned an optional ID parameter (https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda#the-escape-sequence)
This information is used by the terminal emulator to group together an URL that has been split up into multiple pieces (e.g. a hyperlinked being line-breaked in a multi-pane application).
See https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda#hover-underlining-and-the-id-parameter for a thorough description of why this is useful, and how terminal emulators benefit from having proper IDs set.
I picture tcell allowing hyperlinks to be assigned an optional ID. If unassigned, do what we do today (rely on terminal emulator heuristics). But leave it up to the application to allocate and assign IDs.
