`wezterm`, `wezterm-gui` and `wezterm-mux-server` now all support
a new `--config name=value` CLI option that can be specified
multiple times to supply config overrides.
Since there isn't a simple, direct way to update arbitrary fields
of a struct in Rust (there's no runtime reflection), we do this
work in lua.
The config file returns a config table. Before that is mapped
to the Rust Config type, we have a new phase that takes each
of the `--config` values and applies it to the config table.
For example, you can think of configuration as working like this
if wezterm is started as `wezterm --config foo="bar"`:
```lua
config = load_config_file();
config.foo = "bar";
return config;
```
The `--config name=value` option is split into `name` and `value`
parts. The name part is literally concatenated with `config` in
the generated lua code, so the name MUST be valid in that context.
The `value` portion is literally inserted verbatim as the rvalue in the
assignment. Not quoting or other processing is done, which means
that you can (and must!) use the same form that you would use in
the config file for the RHS. Strings must be quoted. This allows
you to use more complicated expressions on the right hand side,
such as:
```
wezterm --config 'font=wezterm.font("Fira Code")'
```
The overrides stick for the lifetime of the process; even if
you change the config file and reload, then the value specified
by the override will take precedence.

* Add cli option --config-file
* Update cli arg doc & make it conflict with skipping config
* When the config is given explicitly (either using --config-file or via WEZTERM_CONFIG_FILE), failing to load this file will use the default config.
* Otherwise the config file is searched one by one in a few directories.
80214319ae broke the use of RUST_LOG to
turn up trace logging.
This commit refactors logger initialization into the env-bootstrap crate
so that it is centralized, and adopts the use of `WEZTERM_LOG` to
override the default logging filters, rather than `RUST_LOG`.
Revise logging so that we use info level for things that we want
to always log, and adjust the logger config to always log info
level messages.
That means shifting some warning level logs down lower to debug level so
that they aren't noisy.

One of the updates in the past week made the reactor/async-io
stuff sensitive to the fork performed by daemonizing.
We can "simply" re-exec ourselves post-fork to resolve this.
This builds on the new lua event handler plumbing added
in ccea650a93 to co-opt
the default URI opening action:
```lua
wezterm.on("open-uri", function(uri)
if uri:find("jira") then
wezterm.log_error("do something with jira")
wezterm.run_child_process({
"wezterm",
"start",
"--",
"jira",
"view",
extract_task_from_uri(uri)
})
-- prevent the default action from opening in a browser
return false
else
-- log but allow the uri to be opened in the browser
wezterm.log_error("clicken " .. uri)
end
end)
```
This doesn't allow exactly the sketched out option from
issue #223 to be implemented, but may be close enough
to be useful.

* Taught wezterm-mux-server how to `--daemonize` on windows
* Removed pty based command spawn used to spawn unix domain servers.
This was present because it was the only way to successfully spawn
wsl in the past. What I'm finding today is that it doesn't work
at all for me, generating an `0xc0000142` Application failed to
initialize error. A plain command builder spawn seems to work,
so that's what we're going with.
* Ensure that we put `.exe` on executable name on windows, otherwise
the spawn may fail.
* `Path::exists()` always returns false for unix domain sockets on
Windows, so unconditionally try to remove the socket before binding,
otherwise the bind will falsely fail, claiming that another process
is already bound.
The docs for mux will need to be updated to show how to revise them
for the new mux server invocation:
```lua
unix_domains = {
{
name = "wsl",
serve_command = {"wsl", "wezterm-mux-server", "--daemonize"}
},
}
```
This version no longer generates invalid CA certificates and
allows TLS connections using the internal PKI to advance
further. Still need to debug an early disconnect.
kindof a lot going on in this commit, unintentionally:
* Need the lua context set to be moved into the config crate
otherwise configs cannot be parsed by the server and we end
up with the default configs
* Make the server use smol for async io
* Drop the use of the daemonize crate, which I had forked anyway.
Just inline our own tighter daemonize module
* Improve daemon spawning synchronization, however, it still needs
work for windows to avoid blocking forever where we don't do
daemonizing.
