Rename putchar() to plot_char() (#944)
Some old platforms (NetBSD, AIX) implement the common stdio "putchar()" function as a global macro which poisons the global namespace, preventing all C and C++ programs from using "putchar()" as a function or method. There was a long thread about this in fltk.coredev during the period Mar 25 2024 ~ Apr 4 2024, subject "RFC: Fl_Terminal::putchar() in public API" as to why we have no choice but to not use putchar() as a method name.
