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"
},
}
```

Brief usage notes here:
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local a_plugin = wezterm.plugin.require "https://github.com/owner/repo"
local config = wezterm.config_builder()
a_plugin.apply_to_config(config)
return config
```
The referenced repo is expected to have a `plugin/init.lua` file,
and by convention, return a module that exports an `apply_to_config`
function that accepts at least a config builder parameter, but may
pass other parameters, or a lua table with a `config` field that maps
to a config build parameter.
`wezterm.plugin.require` will clone the repo if it doesn't already
exist and store it in the runtime dir under `plugins/NAME` where
`NAME` is derived from the repo URL. Once cloned, the repo is
NOT automatically updated.
Only HTTP (or local filesystem) repos are allowed for the git URL;
we cannot currently use ssh for this due to conflicting version
requirements that I'll take a look at later.
`wezterm.plugin.require` will then perform `require "NAME"`,
and since the default `package.path` now includes the appropriate
location from the runtime dir, the module should load.
Two other functions are available:
`wezterm.plugin.list()` will list the plugin repos.
`wezterm.plugin.update_all()` will attempt to fast-forward or `pull
--rebase` each of the repos it finds. It doesn't currently do anything
proactive to reload the configuration afterwards; the user will need to
do that themselves.
This allows removing a bunch of unwrap/expect calls.
However, my primary motive was to replace the cases where we used
Mux::get() == None to indicate that we were not on the main thread.
A separate API has been added to test for that explicitly rather than
implicitly.
This is a step towards making it Send+Sync.
I'm a little cagey about this in the long term, as there are some mux
operations that may technically require multiple fields to be locked for
their duration: allowing free-threaded access may introduce some subtle
(or not so subtle!) interleaving conditions where the overall mux state
is not yet consistent.
I'm thinking of prune_dead_windows kicking in while the mux is in the
middle of being manipulated.
I did try an initial pass of just moving everything under one lock, but
there is already quite a lot of mixed read/write access to different
aspects of the mux.
We'll see what bubbles up later!
According to its benchmarks, it's almost 2x faster than
unicode_segmentation. It doesn't appear to make a visible
difference to `time cat bigfile`, but I'll take anything
that gives more headroom for such little effort of switching.
Various color schemes have been duplicated as they have been added to
different scheme collections. They don't always have identical names
(eg: some remove spaces) and sometimes they have very different names
(eg: _bash vs. nightfox, or Miu vs. Blazer).
We already detected duplicates from different collections but previously
we would omit those dupes.
This commit allows us to track those duplicates by recording their
aliases.
When we write out our data, we only include "interesting" alias names;
those where the name isn't trivially identical.
Some scheme collections (eg: iterm2 color schemes) have duplicates
(eg: zenbones and zenbones_light are identical) and we have previously
shipped with both of those names, so we special case to emit dupes
for which we have prior version information in order to avoid
breaking backwards compatibility for our users.
In the doc generation we can generate links to the aliases if we
included them, but also note about the other names and how we don't
include them. That is so that someone searching the docs for say
"_bash" can discover that it is actually a duplicate of "nightfox" and
use nightfox instead.
This simplifies the "change scheme based on dark mode" example
a lot. This was previously impossible to do because we didn't
have a lua module associated with the gui until recently, so
the only way to reference a gui-related object was via an
event callback.

Record the version in which we first saw a color scheme.
For schemes from iterm2-color-schemes, we just assume that
we've had them forever as it isn't easy to reverse engineer
that metadata.
Everything else is tagged as 'nightly builds only' and I'll update
that to match the version number in the next release.
Newly discovered items will be added with 'nightly builds only'
from this point onwards.
Adjust importer to read directly from the source .itermcolors
files in the upstream repo. Extract some author information
from the comments in those files.
All data is now fetched (and cached!) via relatively minimal
http requests rather than requiring a git repo locally.
Also search for .yml files in base16 repos; found another
couple of schemes this way.
The toml files under assets/colors are no longer read by
anything in the repo. I plan to remove them, but since the
docs reference them as examples, I will first ensure that
there are docs and tooling that explains how to write and
share your own scheme files.
Moved the gradient function into the color module, but kept an alias
under the old name.
Gradients now return color objects.
Converting colors to string now uses rgba format when alpha is not 100%.
Otherwise we can block the gui waiting for eg: a freshly opened firefox to
terminate.

That fear was realized but now resolved!
