[WIP] Needs more TUI (#765)

* first explorations at attempting to integrate more user-friendly status screen/ui * rustfmt * adding some logo and color for visual interest * formatting * better integration with stdout, cleaner looking startup and shutdown * rustfmt * update to framework, and first collection of stats from server * rustfmt * commit of basic stat screen, think it's in a good enough state to share * rustfmt * fix to automated tests * fix to automated tests * grin.toml setting * grin.toml setting * grin.toml setting * merge from upstream * merge from upstream * merging * merging * formatting * adding more status screens, beginning to collect peer data * rustfmt * beginnings of peer info * adding tui dir * rustfmt * missing table * create title bar * Split up UI elements into separate files, create trait for update * Added basic mining view
