Handle CSI command J3 (Clear saved lines)

Xterm supports an extension to the CSI command `Erase in Display (ED)`,
under the command number 3. This command is used to clear the scrollback
buffer - e.g. anything not visible on the screen.

Since scrollback is not part of alacritty, the handler for this
command currently does nothing. If at some point scrollback is implemented,
the corresponding `match` arm can be modified to properly handle this.

For an example of a program which uses this command, run the `clear`
command (using ncurses 6.0). In a supported terminal such as
`gnome-terminal`, this will clear anything off of the screen from the
scrollback buffer. Before this change, `alacritty` would generate
an `Unhandled CSI` message.
