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.
refs: #686closes: #688
```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.
Add `get_foreground_process_name` to both Pane and the lua wrapper.
Add `foreground_process_name` and `current_working_dir` fields to
`PaneInformation`. In order for those to be dynamically fetched,
switch the lua conversion for `PaneInformation` to be a UserData
with field access methods. It's a little more verbose but allows
us to lazily compute these two new fields.

This is really a timing issue: if shift-click extension of the mouse
selection is used, the user may release the mouse button slightly
after the SHIFT key (which is fine) or vice versa (which was not
previously matched)

This commit expands quick select mode so that you can trigger it
with distinct sets of patterns (eg: urls on one key assignment,
hashes on a different key assignment), different alphabets,
and lastly, the option to perform a different action from
the default copy action.
You can pair this with `action_callback` to run lua code to
do something with the selected text.
This commit also adds `wezterm.open_with`, a helper function
for opening documents/URLs.

Remove special case for blocks where we switched it out for a blank
sprite and instead varied the cell background.
We now always render a matching cursor sprite as a separate layer
over the top of the text background color, but below the text
foreground layer.
This is preparing for https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1432
Make bar/line cursors use the text foreground color when reverse
video cursors are enabled, per @VKondakoff:
