PATCH: fix updates to region_highlight, accounting for PREDISPLAY



I've been paying more attention than usual to any glitches related to
terminal attributes and this fixes an old bug where dynamic updates to
region_highlight failed to allow for the PREDISPLAY part of the buffer.
You can see this bug by invoking Functions/Zle/replace-string, typing a
few characters and then using backspace - bold highlighting is lost.

I think the intention in read-from-minibuffer is that bold is only used
for the prompt. But the user-entered string starts empty and when new
characters are added to the right of a region_highlight entry, they
are included. We could solve this by excluding bold highlighting for
the final space in the read-from-minibuffer prompt but the prompt is a
parameter and may not end in a space. It would be possible to add ZRH_*
flags and some syntax for whether regions expand for new characters at
the left and right. Or perhaps just make a special case for the end of
PREDISPLAY?

I'm not certain of the code path to reach the meta half of shiftchars().
