This was a bit of a pain to track down because this behavior
isn't specified anywhere or called out explicitly.
The issue is that if you use a true color escape sequence such as
```bash
printf "\x1b[38;2;255;100;0mTRUECOLOR\n"
```
the active color would remain active when switching between the
primary and the alt screen until something (eg: `ls --color`) changed
it again.
I hadn't run into this because in my prompt, many many years ago, I had
it set to perform an SGR reset (`\x1b[0m`) as the first thing to ensure
that the shell is in a saner state.
For users that don't do this they end up with a weird looking color
bleed effect.

On windows, prevent console subsystem processes spawned by
lua (such as the `wsl -l` example configuration) from momentarily
popping up and stealing the focus. This was happening too fast
to see in most cases, but could cause the wezterm window to momentarily
repaint its title bar with lose focus before regaining it.
This fixes an annoyance with the configuration error window;
previously we would spawn a new window for each error that
was discovered in the config, which cluttered up the screen
and felt irritating when iterating on the config file.
This commit reuses the connection status UI infra to make a
single persistent error log window.
This commit adds some helper functions that make it possible to
dynamically discover and add WSL distributions to the launcher
menu.

* ctrl-R to find a line and then hit enter would cause the search
text rather than the match text to be returned and run!
* When exiting the editor, clear to end of screen to make sure
that we clean up any UI from the incremental search status
This helps us keep track of the extent and cursor position that
we render for the line editor, making it easier to make the editor
rendering more fancy.
This restructures the LineEditor to allow the hosting application to
override key presses and apply custom edits to the editor buffer.
Methods for performing predefined actions and for accessing the line
buffer and cursor position have been provided/exposed to support this.
One consequence of this change is that the editor instance needs to be
passed through to the host trait impl and that means that the LineEditor
can no longer be generic over `Terminal`. Instead we now take `&mut dyn
Terminal` which was how the majority of non-example code was using it in
any case. This simplifies a bit of boilerplate in wezterm but adds an
extra line to the most basic examples.
On Windows, if you run `wsl.exe` from the terminal and start zsh
(maybe bash also?) and it enables application cursor key mode,
exiting zsh doesn't clear application cursor key mode and when we
return to the shell and are using virtual terminal input rather
than the native windows console input, we'll continue to receive
application cursor key sequences instead of regular cursor key
input sequences.
This commit recognizes both flavors as arrow movement
in the line editor to make this feel less broken.
Without this, `wzsh` will keep the terminal in raw mode between
line editor invocations, resulting in staggered/stairway output
for any spawned commands.
This commit allows loading the console functions from `conpty.dll`
instead of `kernel32.dll` which means that we can update and
track newer features than have been deployed to Windows.
In practical terms this means that we can now unlock mouse input
reporting in eg: VIM running under WSL.

We're jumping the gun on this issue, which is tracking making
a proper supportable way to deploy this sort of update:

For now it seems easier just for us to bundle our own copy of
these bits.
This includes a speculative change to include those in our
Windows downloads also.
The binaries were built from

With the revised native windows console renderer using the various
console APIs more deeply, I've seen a couple of cases where those
API calls fail inside eg: wezterm running via the new pty machinery.
Using the virtual terminal APIs and the terminfo renderer is the
right thing to do in that case.
This commit probes for virtual terminal support and uses the builtin
xterm terminfo, unless the environment has
`TERMWIZ_BYPASS_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL=1` set. This allows forcing the
use of the windows console layer.
Some windows APIs have inclusive dimensions and some exclusive;
we were off by one for the height of the display which led to some
weirdness with eg: `sp` and the line editor.
When it comes to scrolling: if the scroll request is for the entire
viewport then we simply adjust the viewport; this is desirable because
it allows data to scroll back into the history in the native console.
This fixes the math around cursor positioning for the edge case where
the width of text and the cursor position are close to the width of
the terminal.
This reduces flickering updates in the native windows console;
it works by taking a copy of the screen buffer, applying the
Change's to that buffer and then copying back to the console.
This is unfortunately a bit of a muddy commit and I'm too lazy to split
it up.
* Removed `Position::NoChange`; use `Position::Relative(0)` instead
* Added missing cursor positioning cases in the terminfo renderer
* Taught line editor about the cursor position when the line spans
multiple physical lines
* Taught the Windows input layer to process escape sequences for eg:
the arrow keys when running with virtual terminal enabled.
* Removed the hack that under-reported the terminal width; the hack
was present to make some aspects of rendering with the native windows
console logic easier, but it was getting in the way of the line
editor. This may well break something, but it fixed up the line
editor :-/

This commit changes the behavior on Windows:
* If $TERM is set and the `terminfo` crate is able to
successfully initialize and locate a terminfo database (this also
requires that $TERMINFO be set in the environment), then we'll
use the `TerminfoRenderer` instead of the `WindowsConsoleRenderer`
* If $TERM is set to `xterm-256color` and no terminfo database was
found, use our modern compiled-in copy (look in the `termwiz/data/`
directory for the source and compiled version of this) and use
the `TerminfoRenderer`.
* Otherwise use the `WindowsConsoleRenderer`.
In practice, this allows termwiz apps to opt in to features such as
true color support on Windows 10 build 1903 an later by setting their
`TERM=xterm-256color`. This happens to be the default behavior when
`ssh`ing in to a windows host via `wezterm`.
You can see the truecolor mode get applied by running this example:
```
cargo run --example widgets_basic --features widgets
```
with TERM set as above the background region that is painted by the app
will be a blueish/purplish color, but with it unset or set to something
invalid, it will fall back to black.
I'd like to eventually make termwiz assume the equivalent configuration
to `TERM=xterm-256color` by default on Windows 10 build 1903 and later,
but it's worth getting some feedback on how this works for clients such
as `streampager`.
