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.
The old way would remove the icon form the dock. it needs greedy-latest because the cask is declared as `latest`.

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",
},
}
```
When set, the cursor will change to this color during dead key
or leader key processing.
```lua
return {
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.
