Hard code freeze and extension request for vte

[Behdad Esfahbod <behdad behdad org>]

Hi,

As some of you may have noticed, vte has a regression in updating the
screen.  Some letters are double-exposed and that gives a boldening
effect...

Anyway, Chris Wilson seems to have a few small patches to fix these.
Unfortunately he said he'll be away until later today.  So I want to
wait for him to show up, review his patches, commit them, and get a
hopefully-not-that-broken vte for 2.18.0.
