[Bug 1665618] Re: build tmux with utf8proc to allow utf8 in status line

(hit post too soon)

Also it would be good to confirm that this is indeed working on Zesty as
you expect it at this point. You can report back if there still appears
to be an issue. Thanks!

Title:
  build tmux with utf8proc to allow utf8 in status line

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in tmux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in tmux package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This version of tmux seems to be built without utf8proc, which leads
  to strange utf8 bugs in the status line. See e.g. the attached image
  on what happens if the program name has a multibyte char in it (by
  using `printf '\033k💻NAME\033\\' `).

  Could we have tmux built with --enable-utf8proc? It would give a
  runtime dep on libutf8proc2 and build-dep on libutf8proc-dev.
