The issue is that we work hard to match the keys pre-composition,
but for French and Norwegian layouts ALT-number are valid,
useful punctuation keys. It's awkward to make exceptions for
ALT keys when matching assignments, especially on macOS, and
the simplest thing to do is simply to remove the assignments
and leave it to our users to add their own if they want them.
The ctrl-shift and cmd based assignments are generally much
easier to keep, because those key combinations are not widely
used default mappings on any keyboard layout.

user vars were stubbed out. This commit adds storage for them
in the mux client and adds a new notification that publishes each
var as it is changed. That differential stream is applied to the
storage in the mux client when it is received.
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
wezterm.on("update-right-status", function(window, pane)
local woot = pane:get_user_vars().woot
window:set_right_status(tostring(woot))
end);
return {
unix_domains = {
{name="unix"},
},
}
```
then running:
* `wezterm connect unix`
* in that session: `printf "\033]1337;SetUserVar=%s=%s\007" woot `echo -n nice | base64``
causes `nice` to show in the status area.

When spawned with no WEZTERM_UNIX_SOCKET environment set,
we now prefer to resolve the gui instance, falling back to
the mux if it doesn't look like the gui is running.
`wezterm cli --prefer-mux` will use the original behavior of
trying to resolve the path from the unix domain in the config.
This commit adds a couple of helper methods that provide insight into
the state of the keyboard layer.
The intent is for users to add status information about the keyboard
state.
This commit also ensures that we schedule an update when the leader
key duration expires, and ensures that we close out the leader state
for an invalid key press.

```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
wezterm.on("update-right-status", function(window, pane)
local leader = ""
if window:leader_is_active() then
leader = "LEADER"
end
local dead = ""
if window:dead_key_active() then
dead = "DEAD"
end
window:set_right_status(leader .. " " .. dead)
end);
return {
leader = { key="a", mods="CTRL" },
colors = {
dead_key_cursor = "orange",
},
}
```
Previously, we'd take a couple of guesses at how to map the key
to a utf8 value, but! the keyboard state has a method that can tell
us what to use.
This is important in non-latin keymaps where, for example, the `c`
key generates cyrillic small letter es and we'd end up sending
CTRL + that through to the terminal when CTRL is held down.
If we get the utf8 string from the keyboard layer then we get
CTRL+c instead, and that is what we want.

Certain keys are "handled" by the IME through it generating a "noop"
command.
That's not super useful for us, so this commit detects the noop case
and then treats it as though the IME didn't handle the input event.
While implementing the above fix, I realized that the same technique
could be used more generally to return processing to our main input
handling for the various selectors that we do recognize: we were
essentially inferring the original key combinations based on the
selector which is not scalable and potentially lossy.
We can't capture CTRL-ESC this same way, as that key combination
is magical and is routed to the callback without generating any
key events.

We only need to recompute when the tab content changes, or when
the window is resized, plus invalidations of the shape cache
of texture atlas filling up.
Hover events don't need to re-shape.
We can now also place the tab bar at the bottom of the screen again.
This adds string serialization for the keycode and modifiers as
used in the config.
We can't simply tell the base types to serialize in this form because
we may serialize and pass those via the mux protocol and the default
derived serializers are more efficient for that purpose.
This allows:
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
return {
keys = {
{key="a", mods="ALT", action=wezterm.action{SendKey={key="b"}}}
},
}
```
to parse: previously, wrapping `SendKey` in `wezterm.action` would fail
to round-trip the the `SendKey` and lead to an error loading the
config.
