This avoids having a green (by default) border around the cursor.
The dynamic color escape sequences have been updated to also
change the border color when the cursor background color is changed.
I changed this to `wezterm-gui` thinking it would be a hair more
efficient, but it makes it difficult to access the cli side of
things from the appimage.
This is similar in spirit to the work in 4d71a7913a
but for Windows.
This commit adds ANGLE binaries built from
07ea804e62
to the repo. The build and packaging will copy those into the same
directory as wezterm.exe so that they can be resolved at runtime.
By default, `prefer_egl = true`, which will cause the window
crate to first try to load an EGL implementation. If that fails,
or if `prefer_egl = false`, then the window crate will perform
the usual WGL initialization.
The practical effect of this change is that Direct3D11 is used for the
underlying render, which avoids problematic OpenGL drivers and means
that the process can survive graphics drivers being updated.
It may also increase the chances that the GPU will really be used
in an RDP session rather than the pessimised use of the software
renderer.
The one downside that I've noticed is that the resize behavior feels a
little janky in comparison to WGL (frames can render with mismatched
surface/window sizes which makes the window contents feel like they're
zooming/rippling slightly as the window is live resized). I think this
is specific to the ANGLE D3D implementation as EGL on other platforms
feels more solid.
I'm a little on the fence about making this the default; I think
it makes sense to prefer something that won't quit unexpectedly
while a software update is in progress, so that's a strong plus
in favor of EGL as the default, but I'm not sure how much the
resize wobble is going to set people off.
If you prefer WGL and are fine with the risk of a drive update
killing wezterm, then you can set this in your config:
```lua
return {
prefer_egl = false,
}
```

This commit adjusts the window layer to have it try to load EGL
implementations on macOS. This is important as the system
provided OpenGL implementation is deprecated and I wanted to
have a path forward for when it is finally removed.
If EGL fails to initialize, we fall back to the CGL/OpenGL
implementation that we used previously.
I've included binaries built for 64-bit intel from the MetalANGLE
project; here's how I built them:
```
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git --depth 1
git clone https://github.com/kakashidinho/metalangle --depth 1
cd metalangle
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH python scripts/bootstrap.py
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH gclient sync
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH gn --args="is_debug=false angle_enable_metal=true angle_enable_vulkan=false angle_enable_gl=false angle_build_all=false" gen out/Release
PATH=$PWD/../depot_tools:$PATH autoninja -C out/Release
```
Those steps are a little too long to want to put them directly
into the wezterm CI.
It is important for metalangle to be >= 8230df39a5
in order for scaling to be handled correctly when dragging windows
between monitors.

This is a bit of a switch-up, see this comment for more background:

This commit:
* Adds a pre-compiled mesa3d opengl32.dll replacement
* The mesa dll is deployed to `<appdir>/mesa/opengl32.dll` which by
default is ignored.
* When the frontend is set to `Software` then the `mesa` directory
is added to the dll search path, causing the llvmpipe renderer
to be enabled.
* The old software renderer implementation is available using the
`OldSoftware` frontend name
I'm not a huge fan of the subdirectory for the opengl32.dll, but
I couldn't get it to work under a different dll name; the code
thought that everything was initialized, but the window just rendered
a white rectangle.
These serve two purposes:
* Provide a consistent default font for new installations,
that happens to show off ligature and color emoji support
out of the box.
* Provide a reasonable fallback in case the configuration is broken
Both fonts are distributed under the terms of the OFL 1.1.

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
4f8acb4b9f
The icon comes from "Smoothicons 7" by Corey Marion which I found
as a royalty free icon searching the internet. I would love to
have a purpose built icon, but this is sufficient for now.
The install script sets up a macOS application bundle that references
the generated wezterm binary and the icon. The same technique could
be used to generate a .desktop file for linux.
I've changed the default-prog on macos to be `login -pf $USER` as
that is a better default experience on macOS.
