The issue is that we work hard to match the keys pre-composition,
but for French and Norwegian layouts ALT-number are valid,
useful punctuation keys. It's awkward to make exceptions for
ALT keys when matching assignments, especially on macOS, and
the simplest thing to do is simply to remove the assignments
and leave it to our users to add their own if they want them.
The ctrl-shift and cmd based assignments are generally much
easier to keep, because those key combinations are not widely
used default mappings on any keyboard layout.

`ScrollByPage` can accept non-integer values in the configuration.
This allows fractional page scrolling, such as by half a page.
The default remains the same, at 1 page.
user vars were stubbed out. This commit adds storage for them
in the mux client and adds a new notification that publishes each
var as it is changed. That differential stream is applied to the
storage in the mux client when it is received.
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
wezterm.on("update-right-status", function(window, pane)
local woot = pane:get_user_vars().woot
window:set_right_status(tostring(woot))
end);
return {
unix_domains = {
{name="unix"},
},
}
```
then running:
* `wezterm connect unix`
* in that session: `printf "\033]1337;SetUserVar=%s=%s\007" woot `echo -n nice | base64``
causes `nice` to show in the status area.

If we know that the remote host is a unix system, and that it uses some
version of the posix shell, then we can adjust our command line to cd to
the requested directory (as set by OSC 7) and then exec the requested
command.
That's what SshDomain::assume_unix indicates and what this commit does.
This puts us in a better position for the future to be able
to configure whether we use wezterm, tmux or no multiplexing.
Today we allow wezterm or no multiplexing.
Add docs on this new setting.

When spawned with no WEZTERM_UNIX_SOCKET environment set,
we now prefer to resolve the gui instance, falling back to
the mux if it doesn't look like the gui is running.
`wezterm cli --prefer-mux` will use the original behavior of
trying to resolve the path from the unix domain in the config.
The old way would remove the icon form the dock. it needs greedy-latest because the cask is declared as `latest`.

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.

```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.
