On a Fedora 31 system running Wayland I noticed that wezterm and
the compositor were running pretty hot on their respective CPU
cores.
It turned out that we had a lot of
[Refresh](https://docs.rs/smithay-client-toolkit/0.6.4/smithay_client_toolkit/window/enum.Event.html#variant.Refresh)
events being generated and consumed. We were treating this as needing
a full paint so we'd be effectively continually running the opengl
paint cycle over and over.
The docs for that event say that it is intended to refresh the client
decorations so let's focus it towards that instead. This does bring
the CPU usage back down to intended levels.
I believe this hot CPU usage to be compositor-dependent: this is the
first I've seen of it out of 4 different Wayland environments!
1f81a064ed added support for noticing
that the dpi scale was not 1 on startup, but the timing of this
signal was different between the opengl and software renderers.
When using the software renderer, we'd end up computing a scaling
change with a pre-change pixel size but adjusted by a post-post
scaling factor, and that effectively caused the window to halve
its size on startup.
This commit improves things by also tracking the dpi in our locally
stored dimensions.
@sunshowers mentioned to me that the window appeared blurry on a hidpi
display on startup, and was fixed by changing focus in a tiling window
manager.
I could replicate this using weston with scaling set to 2; the issue was
that the initial scale factor change event wasn't fully propagated and
bubbled up as a resize event to the terminal layer.
This commit taps into the dpi change event and forces it to be
interpreted as a window configuration change, resulting in more crisp
text.
Adds the ability to specify `--font-shaper Allsorts` and use that
for metrics and shaping.
It is sufficient to expand things like ligatures, but there's something
slightly off about how the metrics are computed and they differ slightly
from the freetype renderer, which leads to some artifacts when rendering
with opengl.
One of my tests is to `grep message src/main.rs` to pull out the line
that has a selection of emoji. The heart emoji is missing from that
line currently.

I noticed that we were relatively undersized for newly created
windows; there were two problems:
1. We weren't propagating the old rows and cols counts through
to the speculative resize.
2. The speculative resize wasn't implemented on wayland, and
needs a surprising amout of work to actually make the resize
take effect.
This was honestly a PITA because of its complexity. The `clipboard`
crate (now dropped as a dep) didn't support wayland, so I looked at
the `smithay-clipboard` crate, which caused all of my input to become
laggy just by enabling it--even without actually copying or pasting!
Both of those crates try to hide a number of details of working with
the clipboard from the embedding application, but that works against
our window crate implementation, so I decided to integrate it into
the window crate using Futures so that the underlying IPC timing and
potential for the peer to flake out are not completely hidden.
This first commit removes the SystemClipboard type from wezterm
and instead bridges the window crate clipboard to the term crate
Clipboard concept.
The clipboard must be associated with a window in order to function
at all on Wayland, to we place the get/set operations in WindowOps.
This commit effectively breaks the keyboard on the other window
environments; will fix those up in follow on commits.
This is a pretty gross and coarse "smash them together" commit.
There is some redundancy between the two connection and window
impls that I'd like to unify later, but this lets us build with
support for both systems for now.
