I spent a few hours in heap profilers. What I found was:
* Inefficient use of heap when building up runs of
`Action::Print(char)`.
-> Solve by adding `Action::PrintString(String)`
and accumulating utf8 bytes rather than u32 codepoints.
* Inefficient use of heap when building Quad buffers: the default
exponential growth of `Vec` tended to waste 40%-75% of the allocated
capacity, and since we could keep ~1024 of these in cache, there's
a lot of potential for waste.
-> Solve by bounding the growth to 64 at a time. This has similar
characteristics to exponential growth at the default 80x24 terminal
size. May need to add a config option for this step size for users
with very large terminals.
* Lazy eviction from the LFU caches. The underlying cache advisor is
somewhat probabilistic and has a minimum cache size of 256, making
it difficult to maintain low heap utilization.
-> Solve by replacing it with a very simple LFU algorithm. It doesn't
seem to hurt much at the default terminal size with the default
cache sizes. If we make the cache sizes smaller, its overhead is
reduced.
Some further experimentation is needed to adjust defaults, but this
should help reduce heap usage.

I was going to upgrade to the unicode 15 font, but in testing this I
decided that the logic is slightly complex and the glyphs are often
difficult to see at most terminal font sizes, which generates questions
from users, so just fall back to notdef.
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.
CTRL-SHIFT-U is a new default key assignment for this new modal.
It opens up a fuzzy searchable browser that defaults to showing
emoji/emoticons. The category can by cycled through the suggested
emoji categories using CTRL-r. Unlike the system emoji palette,
wezterm includes a category for nerdfont symbols, and another
that is a list of all unicode codepoint names, so you should be
able to browse for pretty much any codepoint you can think of.
The modal also allows fuzzy searching based on:
* The official unicode name
* The github shortcode
* codepoint value in hex
so if you know the codepoint value but not the name, you can
still find a way to input what you're looking for.
Pressing Enter will copy the selected item to the clipboard
send it to the active pane, and cancel the modal. You can therefore
repeat the insert by simply pasting.
I plan to add frecency to this in a later commit: that way the
frequently/recently used selections will show in a category of
their own and make it easier to re-input them.

This breaking API change allows us to explicitly generate EOF when the
taken writer is dropped.
The examples have been updated to show how to manage read, write
and waiting without deadlock for both linux and windows.
Need to confirm that this is still good on macOS, but my
confidence is high.
I've also removed ssh2 support from this crate as part of this
change. We haven't used it directly in wezterm in a long while
and removing it from here means that there is slightly less code
to keep compiling over and over.

The intent is that when set, it changes defaults to something
more suitable for distributions.
I've also added a readme for distro maintainers.

Currently implemented on X11 only, this function returns information
about the geometry of the screen(s).
This is taken from the same source of information we use for the
`--position` CLI argument to `wezterm start`.
```
> wezterm.window.screens()
{
"by_name": {
"DisplayPort-1": {
"height": 2160,
"name": "DisplayPort-1",
"width": 3840,
"x": 0,
"y": 0,
},
},
"main": {
"height": 2160,
"name": "DisplayPort-1",
"width": 3840,
"x": 0,

},

"origin_y": 0,
"virtual_height": 2160,
"virtual_width": 3840,
}
```
The intent is to expose Mux related functions to lua, so `wezterm.mux`
will be that module table.
In order to test this out in the debug overlay, I realized that the
overlay was running functions in a different thread and didn't have
access to the mux, so this commit also tweaks the debug overlay repl to
execute the input in the main thread.
The result is that it is now possible to do
`wezterm.mux.active_workspace()` in the debug overlay to print the
active workspace name.
More functions will follow.

Main thing to note here is that the open crate has deprecated
open::that_in_background, but made open::that non-blocking.
I think this is OK, but I'm a little cagey about what will
happen with this on Windows. We may need to spawn our own
thread for this if things go awry.
Avoid using serde for mapping between Lua and Rust for the `Config`
struct.
This improves the build speed of the config crate by 2x; it goes down
from 30 seconds to 9 seconds on my 5950x.
Go directly to the underlying env_logger crate, as pretty_env_logger
hasn't been updated in some time, and I'd like to be able to redirect
the log output to a file more directly, and that feature is in a newer
version of the env logger than pretty_env_logger was pulling in.
This change also allows removing the dep on the palette crate,
which I found to be difficult to use (API changed often, and relied
on a lot of `.into` that was hard to follow and reconcile across
upgrades). We already pulled in the csscolorparse crate as an indirect
dep of colorgrad, so we can replace the color conversion we need for
sixel with that crate while we're in here.

This commit is larger than it appears to due fanout from threading
through bidi parameters. The main changes are:
* When clustering cells, add an additional phase to resolve embedding
levels and further sub-divide a cluster based on the resolved bidi
runs; this is where we get the direction for a run and this needs
to be passed through to the shaper.
* When doing bidi, the forced cluster boundary hack that we use to
de-ligature when cursoring through text needs to be disabled,
otherwise the cursor appears to push/rotate the text in that
cluster when moving through it! We'll need to find a different
way to handle shading the cursor that eliminates the original
cursor/ligature/black issue.
* In the shaper, the logic for coalescing unresolved runs for font
fallback assumed LTR and needed to be adjusted to cluster RTL.
That meant also computing a little index of codepoint lengths.
* Added `experimental_bidi` boolean option that defaults to false.
When enabled, it activates the bidi processing phase in clustering
with a strong hint that the paragraph is LTR.
This implementation is incomplete and/or wrong for a number of cases:
* The config option should probably allow specifying the paragraph
direction hint to use by default.
* https://terminal-wg.pages.freedesktop.org/bidi/recommendation/paragraphs.html
recommends that bidi be applied to logical lines, not physical
lines (or really: ranges within physical lines) that we're doing
at the moment
* The paragraph direction hint should be overridden by cell attributes
and other escapes; see 85a6b178cf
and probably others.
However, as of this commit, if you `experimental_bidi=true` then
```
echo This is RTL -> عربي فارسی bidi
```
(that text was sourced from:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/538#issuecomment-677017322)
then wezterm will display the text in the same order as the text
renders in Chrome for that github comment.

Add `get_foreground_process_name` to both Pane and the lua wrapper.
Add `foreground_process_name` and `current_working_dir` fields to
`PaneInformation`. In order for those to be dynamically fetched,
switch the lua conversion for `PaneInformation` to be a UserData
with field access methods. It's a little more verbose but allows
us to lazily compute these two new fields.

Adds some plumbing to allow the GUI to implement a download handler
and connect that up for iterm2 image/file transfers that have their
inline property set to false.
Previously we'd just log an error.
Now we will by default download the file to the user's download
directory.
This behavior can be turned off via the new `allow_download_protocols`
configuration setting.
File transfers can be initiated on a remote host via the
https://iterm2.com/utilities/it2dl script.
When the download completes, a toast notification is shown that will
open the file when clicked.
