This commit teaches the config about SerialDomains, and the mux
layer about constructing a SerialDomain, then changes the GUI
layer to use those pieces to set up `wezterm serial`.
A new `serial_ports` config is added, and the GUI layer knows how
to apply it to the set of domains in the mux.
The result of this is that you can now define a domain for each
serial port and spawn a serial connection into a new tab or window
in your running wezterm gui instance.
It's a tremendous PITA for the user to do this at the system level on a
mac, where it is sorely needed. This commit allows raising to a desired
minimum level, but won't decrease from an already larger soft limit.

Add a link to regex syntax supported in wezterm, so eg. we have a way to know that perl character class '\c' is not supported and instead we can use the ascii equivalent [:cntrl:]
* Update ssh_backend.md
* Update normalize_output_to_unicode_nfc.md
* Update strikethrough_position.md
* Update underline_position.md
* Update underline_thickness.md
* Fix lua config docs titles to be formatted as inline code
* Mention how suggested alphabet for quick select is choosen
* Mention update-status and update-right-status for status_update_interval
* Fix docs for all keyassignments to be formatted as inline code
* Fix Lua object index titles
* Fix titles of `wezterm.*` module index pages
* Fix title of `Color` object & `wezterm.color` functions
We reduce titles from h2 to h1 because mkdocs defaults the page title to
the page file name if no h1 header is found.
* Unify title of all object methods
* Add index page for Gui events
Nudge new users towards using this style:
```lua
local config = {}
config.color_scheme = 'Batman'
return config
```
and surface how to write lua modules closer to the main section
on config files. In that lua modules section, nudge towards using
a convention similar to that of the plugin spec described in
this commit: e4ae8a844d
I don't recall changing it to copy to the primary selection only, and
it doesn't feel like it is something I would want anyway, and I think
it generally makes things annoying for all but power users

Threads through a GuiPosition from mux window creation to allow it to be
used when the corresponding gui window is created.
SpawnCommand now has an optional position field to use for that purpose.
```lua
wezterm.mux.spawn_window {
position = {
x = 10,
y = 300,
-- Optional origin to use for x and y.
-- Possible values:
-- * "ScreenCoordinateSystem" (this is the default)
-- * "MainScreen" (the primary or main screen)
-- * "ActiveScreen" (whichever screen hosts the active/focused window)
-- * {Named="HDMI-1"} - uses a screen by name. See wezterm.gui.screens()
-- origin = "ScreenCoordinateSystem"
},
}
```

The motivation here was to remove some similar but not quite the same
logic that existed for starting up when using `wezterm connect`.
Now `wezterm connect DOMAIN` is implemented as `wezterm start --domain
DOMAIN --attach --always-new-process` and a little extra hand-wave to
ensure that the default domain is set correctly.
The startup events have been refactored a bit; a new gui-attached
event is emitted after attaching and starting any default programs
in the selected domain at startup.
That event can be used to maximize windows and so on, if desired.
The gui-attached event is independent of the startup command and fires
for `wezterm connect`, which `gui-startup` did not (and could not) do.
config_builder helps to make issues more visible/useful in the case
where you may have typod a config option, or otherwise assigned
an incorrect value.
In https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/2932 the user desired to have
brightened text without the boldness, as they were accustomed to that
behavior in a couple of other terminal emulators.
This commit changes the `bold_brightens_ansi_colors` from a simple
boolean to a tristate that allows for not changing the brightness,
changing the brightness, and changing the brightness while adjusting
the boldness down to normal levels.
boolean values are accepted for backwards compatibility.
I'd like to push that into the status bar, so nudge people towards
that in the docs for this.
There is a config option to restore it. I'd like to ultimately
remove that though.

This provides a means for more easily extending the default key
tables without forcing the user to recreate the entire config
for themselves.
wezterm.gui.default_keys is also added by this, but it is likely
not as useful.
There are caveats to determining this, but when we think
password entry is enabled, switch the cursor to the font-awesome
lock glyph instead of the normal cursor sprite.
fa_lock is used because it is monochrome and can thus be tinted
to the configured cursor color, and it respects blinking/easing.

I've had a couple of people report issues like
https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/2378 recently, and we can avoid
this class of problem by unsetting SHELL at proces startup, so that's
what we do.
The prior mutually exclusive behavior kept surprising people so let's
just flip this around.
This is potentially a "breaking" change for folks, but I think it is
worth it.
Previously, we'd unconditionally enable dual source blending for the
text foreground layer when rendering. That meant that if the user had
configured the fg color to include an alpha value it would get "stamped
through" the draw all the way to the background, making that whole pixel
take on that alpha value rather than allowing it to blend through the
way you might expect.
In prior releases that didn't matter, but since we now allow configuring
the fg color with alpha, and allow using escape sequences to set the fg
for a span to something with alpha, there is now a much higher chance of
something looking weird.
Dual source blending is only really needed for subpixel-aa and that
isn't enabled by default.
This commit changes the behavior to use regular alpha blending if the
main config (rather than a per-font override) hasn't set the freetype
load/render target to one that enables subpixel-aa.
That means that alpha channel values work as expected for fg color
by default.
If you want to enable subpixel-aa you need to enable it globally
and be aware that it will cause weirdness when trying to use alpha
channels for the fg text color.
The docs now also indicate this behavior.
This limitation could be removed by making text rendering significantly
more complex and I don't fancy doing that at this time.
Consolidate the attributes together rather than having them in separate
versioned sections so that it is a bit more readable.
Make a note about how attributes select from existing fonts rather than
apply styling effects to fonts.

They prevented using other types of mouse events!
We don't have a good way to specify that kind of alias, so for now,
take it out and replace the examples in the docs with the more verbose
equivalents.

Adjusts how mouse events are matched so that we can now indicate whether
mouse reporting and alt-screen should be considered as part of the event

The recent work on the scrollback made it easier to constrain the
search region, so expose those parameters to the Pane::search
interface and to the mux protocol.
Use those new parameters to constrain quickselect search to
1000 rows above and below the current viewport by default, and
add a new parameter to QuickSelectArgs that allows overriding that
range.
A follow-up commit could make the search/copy overlay issue a series
of searches in chunks so that it avoids blocking the UI when
searching very large scrollback.

This allows the hook to choose how to handle eg: `wezterm start -- top`.
Previously, if you had implemented this event you would essentially lose
the ability to specify a command that you wanted to launch.
