`wezterm`, `wezterm-gui` and `wezterm-mux-server` now all support
a new `--config name=value` CLI option that can be specified
multiple times to supply config overrides.
Since there isn't a simple, direct way to update arbitrary fields
of a struct in Rust (there's no runtime reflection), we do this
work in lua.
The config file returns a config table. Before that is mapped
to the Rust Config type, we have a new phase that takes each
of the `--config` values and applies it to the config table.
For example, you can think of configuration as working like this
if wezterm is started as `wezterm --config foo="bar"`:
```lua
config = load_config_file();
config.foo = "bar";
return config;
```
The `--config name=value` option is split into `name` and `value`
parts. The name part is literally concatenated with `config` in
the generated lua code, so the name MUST be valid in that context.
The `value` portion is literally inserted verbatim as the rvalue in the
assignment. Not quoting or other processing is done, which means
that you can (and must!) use the same form that you would use in
the config file for the RHS. Strings must be quoted. This allows
you to use more complicated expressions on the right hand side,
such as:
```
wezterm --config 'font=wezterm.font("Fira Code")'
```
The overrides stick for the lifetime of the process; even if
you change the config file and reload, then the value specified
by the override will take precedence.
