The current master of allsorts supports color fonts in both bitmap and
svg varieties. I'm interested to see if I can teach wezterm to render
the svg based variety in a subsequent diff.
First though, it's times to dust off our allsorts shaper logic.
This commit updates to point to the current master of allsorts at the
time of writing; there's a little bit of API fanout that makes it a bit
easier to manage font fallback.
The fallback logic has been improved so that we can now successfully
fall back to the emoji font.
The shaping logic has been improved so that we turn on the options that
enable ZWJ for combining sequences of emoji, such as "man health
worker".
Running with the allsorts shaper enabled produces generally superior
emoji/ligature substitution results compared to harfbuzz with Noto Color
Emoji; the "man health worker" and the flags (eg: `flag: England`) from
the subdivsion-flag section don't get substituted at all with harfbuzz,
but do produce appropriate glyphs with allsorts.

This wasn't used by anything and the version was getting pretty stale.
Upgrading is awkward because newer versions pull in an incompatible
freetype library version.
This commit moves a bunch of stuff around such that `wezterm` is now a
lighter-weight executable that knows how to spawn the gui, talk to
the mux or emit some escape sequences for imgcat.
The gui portion has been moved into `wezterm-gui`, a separate executable
that doesn't know about the CLI or imgcat functionality.
Importantly, `wezterm.exe` is no longer a window subsystem executable
on windows, which makes interactions such as `wezterm -h` feel more
natural when spawned from `cmd`, and should allow
`type foo.png | wezterm imgcat` to work as expected.
That said, I've only tested this on linux so far, and there's a good
chance that something mac or windows specific is broken by this
change and will need fixing up.
