Support multiple time intervals for charts

For charts, it would make sense to support multiple time intervals, if they cover the same amount of time. Then the multiple lines could be put on the same chart - with different colors. There are a few possible ideas how to implement it.
- Using the 7 basic terminal colors. This makes it possible to display up to 7 charts at the same time
- Using the 3 additive colors, add them up on overlapping. This might be nice but it might not make sense.
- Area filled charts with the 3 additive colors and adding them up on overlapping. This might be a nice addition, it should be tested if it's useful.
There's one small problem: whichever solution we choose, the color additions will have a lower resolution (except for classic
and block
modes). The easiest way is to always choose the last written color for a specific character.
