    Added two-window messaging to the client.

    Client now has two seperate Ncurses windows for sending and receiving.
    Added SIGINT handler which sets a global boolean to gracefully exit and free memory.
    Sending and Receiving are now on their own threads.
    A pointer-to-struct is now passed to the threads.
    The main thread will now wait to cancel the threads upon receiving SIGINT.
    slowPrintNcurses now takes a window argument.
    The server now doesn't check that a client receives the message that they sent, allowing for full chat history.

    Adapted client to use Ncurses instead of raw terminal output:
    Created "slowPrintNcurses", which is a version of "slowPrint" compatible with Ncurses screens.
    Ncurses is now used in place of raw-terminal output.
    The screen clears after inital start-up messages.
    C-d no longer exits, and still doesn't spam.
    Added Ncurses to the ld options of client in the Makefile.
    Created ld options for server in the Makefile.
