This action causes the active workspace for the gui to change.
If the name is omitted a random name will be generated.
If the workspace doesn't exist, it will be be created.
The optional spawn parameter can be used to launch a specific
program into the new workspace; if omitted, the default prog
will be used.
The gui only supports a single active workspace. Switching workspaces
will repurpose existing gui windows and re-assign them to windows
in the new workspace, adjusting their size to fit those windows,
spawning new windows or closing unused windows as required.
The gui now exits when there are no panes in the active workspace,
rather than no panes at all.

Tidies up some code duplication within the mux protocol handler.
Move some of the logic into Mux, remove legacy Spawn Pdu to reduce
more duplication.
I want to dedup some of the similar logic that exists in the gui
spawn implementation as well in a follow up.
This is not exposed through any UX; the mux api allows setting
the workspace and propagating information about windows whose
workspace has changed.
Windows start with a blank workspace name.
This is just plumbing; nothing uses it yet.

Define a way to compute a client ID and pass that through to the
mux server when verifying version compatibility.
Once associated, the session handler will keep some metadata
updated in the mux.
A new cli subcommand exposes the info:
```
; ./target/debug/wezterm cli list-clients
USER HOST PID CONNECTED IDLE WORKSPACE
wez mba.localdomain 52979 30.009225s 1.009225s
```

This is a similar race condition to one we had before with the
multiplexer, where the connection UI made us think that we didn't
need to start a new process.
Additionally, the attach method would unconditionally create a
new client without checking whether we already had one.
In the case that the published symlink is stale, our default
client connection logic was to retry connecting with backoff
to give a newly spawned server a chance to startup.
In the context of a newly launched gui process checking to see
if an existing gui process can serve the same request, we don't
need to give it any grace: it will either answer immediately
or be deemed not useful.
This commit limits us to a single connection attempt in the case
where we're not automatically starting the server, which in turn
constrains the overhead to something in the order of microseconds
rather than nearly 0.5 seconds.
While we're in here, I noticed that if we thought we had a socket
to try and that failed, we'd always try to publish a new symlink.
However, if we failed due to mismatched version info, we shouldn't
publish over the top of the already running instance.

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 an ssh domain is set to use_multiplexer=false, it is now
possible to `wezterm connect` to it.
Previously, it was only possible to connect to domains that
used the mux client.

The client machinery would try to spawn an async attempt at
detaching the unixdomain from the mux on shutdown, but since
we're in the middle of tearing down the scoped executor,
we could sometimes panic.
The client we have in this situation isn't actually associated
with a domain, so we don't need to detach in that situation.
Formalize that by making it an Option, and address the
fanout.
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.
Nothing generates them right now, and the mux client has no
way to represent them on the wire.
I'm considering constraining them to just win32 for now.

Previously, we would implicitly set it to the special SEQ_ZERO
value, but since that value always flags the row as changed,
it causes some over-invalidation issues downstream in wezterm.
This commit makes that parameter required, so that the code that
is creating a new Line always passes down the seqno from that event.

Finally getting around to fixing this usability wart: this commit
changes the behavior of Window closing so that you can close a window
containing multiplexer panes without prompting and without killing
off those panes.
This is achieved through some plumbing:
* The mux can now advise Domains about an impending window closure,
giving them the opportunity to "do things" in readiness.
* The mux client domain informs the container ClientPane instances
to ignore the next Pane::kill call, which would otherwise inform
the mux server to kill the remote pane
* Pane:can_close_without_prompting now requires a CloseReason.
* ClientPane's can_close_without_prompting impl allows Window closing
without prompting on the assumption that the ignore-next-kill hack
above is working

The mux client just returns a dummy reader, and some overlays
have panicking stubs: just allow for them to return None
instead of potentially spawning a useless thread.
In some cases, the `wezterm cli proxy` subcommand had terminated
with error, but the client was still happily waiting for more data
to read.
This commit spawns a thread to detect the process termination and
then drop the child struct when it completes; that in turn causes
the stdio descriptors to close and then things tick over.

This is a fairly far-reaching commit. The idea is:
* Introduce a unicode_version config that specifies the default level
of unicode conformance for each newly created Terminal (each Pane)
* The unicode_version is passed down to the `grapheme_column_width`
function which interprets the width based on the version
* `Cell` records the width so that later calculations don't need to
know the unicode version
In a subsequent diff, I will introduce an escape sequence that allows
setting/pushing/popping the unicode version so that it can be overridden
via eg: a shell alias prior to launching an application that uses a
different version of unicode from the default.
This approach allows output from multiple applications with differing
understanding of unicode to coexist on the same screen a little more
sanely.
Note that the default `unicode_version` is set to 9, which means that
emoji presentation selectors are now by-default ignored. This was
selected to better match the level of support in widely deployed
applications.
I expect to raise that default version in the future.
Also worth noting: there are a number of callers of
`unicode_column_width` in things like overlays and lua helper functions
that pass `None` for the unicode version: these will assume the latest
known-to-wezterm/termwiz version of unicode to be desired. If those
overlays do things with emoji presentation selectors, then there may be
some alignment artifacts. That can be tackled in a follow up commit.

The issue here is that when spawning a new tab in the mux client,
we didn't record the local/remote tab id mapping.
Subsequently, when processing the overall list of tabs, we'd realize
that the mapping was missing and allocate a new local tab to act
as the holder for the existing remote tab and end up with a strange
aliased view of the tab in a second tab!
This commit establishes that mapping at the time that we spawn
the new pane.

Terminal now maintains a sequence number that increments
for each Action that is applied to it.
Changes to lines are tagged with the current sequence number.
This makes it a bit easier to reason about when an individual
line has changed relative to some point in "time"; the consumer
of the terminal can sample the current sequence number and then
can later determine which lines have changed since that point
in time.

Possibly related to:
https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/783
However, this is more obviously required when scrolling back either
via mouse wheel or a key assignment: the download completes but
we need to then force an invalidation for it to be applied in
the gui.
This looks like a honest typo from when panes were introduced!
We were passing the tab id rather than the pane id when specifying
the target of a split.
likely fix for this issue:
