That gets the monitor size, i.e:
SM_CXSCREEN (0)
The width of the screen of the primary display monitor, in pixels.
SM_CYSCREEN (1)
The height of the screen of the primary display monitor, in pixels.
The console's visible window is a rectangular view on its active
screen buffer. We have to query the screen-buffer information to
obtain the coordinates of this rectangle (right, left, bottom, top).
Python's os.get_terminal_size does this, but I dislike the fact that
it uses the process standard handles instead of C file descriptors and
only supports 0, 1, and 2.
Here's a version that defaults to opening the console's active screen
buffer, "CONOUT$". Otherwise it uses msvcrt.get_osfhandle to get the
handle for the fd argument instead of hard-mapping 0, 1, and 2 to the
process standard handles. For symmetry, I've also added POSIX code
that switches the default to opening "/dev/tty" instead of using
stdout.
