Please don't break the changeset into several patches, not in this
case: this changeset introduces a feature that there's no reason to
break into several sub-features, so making a single patch will make it
easier to review the changes.

It looks like your edits use indentation with only spaces.  Our style
in C sources is to use TABs and spaces, so please set up your Emacs to
follow our style (it should happen automatically if you let Emacs read
and follow the .dir-locals.el file in the Emacs repository).

> +  if (tty->TF_set_underline_style)
> +    tty->TF_set_underline_color = "\x1b[58:2::%p1%{65536}%/%d:%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d:%p1%{255}%&%dm";

What is the source for this escape sequence? can you mention it in a
comment?

Thanks.
