In #2177 we found that one of the examples that tries to use
the default initialization was failing. The root cause is that
we were constructing a value like:
`{ExtendSelectionToMouseCursor=nil}`
which is effectively the same as:
`{}`
but that has no information on the enum variant name.
This commit avoids mapping DynValue::Null to LuaValue::Nil
and instead uses a light user data nullptr value.
That allows the structure to round trip correctly.

In https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/2170 a config like this was
used:
```lua
return {
keys = {
{key="e", ...},
copy_Mode = {
{key="a", ...}
}
}
}
```
instead of the intended:
```lua
return {
keys = {
{key="e", ...},
},
key_tables={
copy_Mode = {
{key="a", ...}
}
},
}
```
This commit makes an attempt at detecting when non-numeric, or sparse
numeric, keys are used for an array style table and generates an error.
The error isn't ideal, but it at least indicates that something is
wrong:
```
Configuration Error: Error converting lua value returned by script
/tmp/whoops.lua to Config struct: error converting Lua table to Config
(error converting Lua table to value (while processing "keys": error
converting Lua string to numeric array index (Unexpected key "copy_mode"
for array style table)))
```

Avoid using serde for mapping between Lua and Rust for the `Config`
struct.
This improves the build speed of the config crate by 2x; it goes down
from 30 seconds to 9 seconds on my 5950x.
printing _G would still sometimes overflow for me.
The code a0b8d2196a wasn't sufficient so
beef it up both with a hash set to remember all visited refs as well
as a depth limit of 128, which should be deep enough for most practical
purposes.
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 commit expands on the prior commits to introduce the concept
of per-window configuration overrides.
Each TermWindow maintains json compatible object value holding
a map of config key -> config value overrides.
When the window notices that the config has changed, the config
file is loaded, the CLI overrides (if any) are applied, and then
finally the per-window overrides, before attempting to coerce
the resultant lua value into a Config object.
This mechanism has some important constraints:
* Only data can be assigned to the overrides. Closures or special
lua userdata object handles are not permitted. This is because
the lifetime of those objects is tied to the lua context in which
they were parsed, which doesn't really exist in the context of
the window.
* Only simple keys are supported for the per-window overrides.
That means that trying to override a very specific field of
a deeply structured value (eg: something like `font_rules[1].italic = false`
isn't able to be expressed in this scheme. Instead, you would
need to assign the entire `font_rules` key. I don't anticipate
this being a common desire at this time; if more advance manipulations
are required, then I have some thoughts on an event where arbitrary
lua modifications can be applied.
The implementation details are fairly straight-forward, but in testing
the two examplary use cases I noticed that some hangovers from
supporting overrides for a couple of font related options meant that the
window-specific config wasn't being honored. I've removed the code that
handled those overrides in favor of the newer more general CLI option
override support, and threaded the config through to the font code.

This commit adds very basic first passes at representing the Pane
and GuiWindow types in lua script.
The `open-uri` event from 9397f2a2db
has been redefined to receive `(window, pane, uri)` parameters
instead of its prior very basic `uri` parameter.
A new key assignment `wezterm.action{EmitEvent="event-name"}` is
now available that allows a key binding assignment to emit an arbitrary
event, which in turn allows for triggering an arbitrary lua callback
in response to a key or mouse click.
`EmitEvent` passes the `(window, pane)` from the triggering window and
pane as parameters.
Here's a brief example:
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
wezterm.on("my-thingy", function(window, pane)
local dims = pane:get_dimensions();
wezterm.log_error("did my thingy with window " .. window:window_id() ..
" pane " .. pane:pane_id() .. " " .. dims.cols .. "x" .. dims.viewport_rows);
window:perform_action("IncreaseFontSize", pane);
end)
return {
keys = {
{key="E", mods="CTRL", action=wezterm.action{EmitEvent="my-thingy"}},
}
}
```
