This is similar in spirit to the work in 4d71a7913a
but for Windows.
This commit adds ANGLE binaries built from
07ea804e62
to the repo. The build and packaging will copy those into the same
directory as wezterm.exe so that they can be resolved at runtime.
By default, `prefer_egl = true`, which will cause the window
crate to first try to load an EGL implementation. If that fails,
or if `prefer_egl = false`, then the window crate will perform
the usual WGL initialization.
The practical effect of this change is that Direct3D11 is used for the
underlying render, which avoids problematic OpenGL drivers and means
that the process can survive graphics drivers being updated.
It may also increase the chances that the GPU will really be used
in an RDP session rather than the pessimised use of the software
renderer.
The one downside that I've noticed is that the resize behavior feels a
little janky in comparison to WGL (frames can render with mismatched
surface/window sizes which makes the window contents feel like they're
zooming/rippling slightly as the window is live resized). I think this
is specific to the ANGLE D3D implementation as EGL on other platforms
feels more solid.
I'm a little on the fence about making this the default; I think
it makes sense to prefer something that won't quit unexpectedly
while a software update is in progress, so that's a strong plus
in favor of EGL as the default, but I'm not sure how much the
resize wobble is going to set people off.
If you prefer WGL and are fine with the risk of a drive update
killing wezterm, then you can set this in your config:
```lua
return {
prefer_egl = false,
}
```

This commit adjusts the window layer to have it try to load EGL
implementations on macOS. This is important as the system
provided OpenGL implementation is deprecated and I wanted to
have a path forward for when it is finally removed.
If EGL fails to initialize, we fall back to the CGL/OpenGL
implementation that we used previously.
I've included binaries built for 64-bit intel from the MetalANGLE
project; here's how I built them:
```
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git --depth 1
git clone https://github.com/kakashidinho/metalangle --depth 1
cd metalangle
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH python scripts/bootstrap.py
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH gclient sync
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH gn --args="is_debug=false angle_enable_metal=true angle_enable_vulkan=false angle_enable_gl=false angle_build_all=false" gen out/Release
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH autoninja -C out/Release
```
Those steps are a little too long to want to put them directly
into the wezterm CI.
It is important for metalangle to be >= 8230df39a5
in order for scaling to be handled correctly when dragging windows
between monitors.

To reproduce the problem, maximize wezterm, then press CMD-N.
This commit tells the window not to use cocoa native tabs and
instead really create a new window when we ask it to create
a new window.

Moved the image and hyperlink portion of CellAttributes out
to a separate heap structure, saving 8 bytes per Cell
for the common case of no hyperlink and no image.
`wezterm.action{ExtendSelectionToMouseCursor=nil}` doesn't produce an
`ExtendSelectionToMouseCursor(None)` value because a table value of
`nil` is equivalent to that key not being present and lua sees just
an empty table.
Instead we need to accept `ExtendSelectionToMouseCursor={}` a valid
way to indicate an `Option::None` which is what this commit does.
Due to weirdness that I haven't had a chance to run down, passing
that value through `wezterm.action` doesn't produce the intended
value, so I'm adjusting the docs to show to specify an alternative
syntax for this as part of this commit.

This adds an extra level of indirection to the Mux model;
previously we allowed for Windows to contain an ordered
collection of Tabs, where each Tab represented some kind
of pty.
This change effectively renames the existing Tab trait to Pane
and introduces a new Tab container, so the new model is that
a Window contains an ordered collection of Tabs, and each Tab
can have a single optional Pane.

This could be reproduced via `wezterm connect localhost`.
This bug was surfaced after the last release added a Drop impl
to cleanup the display.
This commit tracks the display in the connection.
