The daemon without socket is not that useful.

This patch adds a daemon mode to Alacritty which allows starting the
Alacritty process without spawning an initial window.
While this does not provide any significant advantage over the existing
behavior of always spawning a window, it does integrate nicer with some
setups and is a pretty trivial addition.

The glutin 0.30.0 update decouples glutin from winit which
provides us with basis for a multithreaded renderer. This
also improves robustness of our configuration picking,
context creation, and surface handling.
As an example we're now able to start on systems without a vsync,
we don't try to build lots of contexts to check if some config works,
and so on.
That also brings us possibility to handle context losses, but that's
a future work.
Fixes #1268.

This patch applies all clippy lints currently present on the latest
clippy master than are compatible with our oldstable clippy (only
exception is the `_else(||` stuff).

This patch adds a new mechanism for changing configuration options
without editing the configuration file, by sending options to running
instances through `alacritty msg`.
Each window will load Alacritty's configuration file by default and then
accept IPC messages for config updates using the `alacritty msg config`
subcommand. By default all windows will be updated, individual windows
can be addressed using `alacritty msg config --window-id
"$ALACRITTY_WINDOW_ID"`.
Each option will replace the config's current value and cannot be reset
until Alacritty is restarted or the option is overwritten with a new
value.
Configuration options are passed in the format `field.subfield=value`,
where `value` is interpreted as yaml.
Closes #472.

If WAYLAND_DISPLAY contains a '/', we have to replace with with another
character before using WAYLAND_DISPLAY as a path component.

The existing behavior for the new CreateNewWindow actions was to always
pass in their own options, which would discard the existing options
configured on the terminal's PTY config.
To fix this the behavior for CreateNewWindow is now the same as for the
initial window creation, the config values are overwritten conditionally
based on their individual presence in the CLI options.
However all temporary CLI options set on the "master" Alacritty
instance are discarded by all future windows.
Fixes #5659.

Alacritty's `msg create-window` subcommand would previously inherit all
the CLI parameters from the original executable. However not only could
this lead to unexpected behavior, it also prevents multi-window users
from making use of parameters like `-e`, `--working-directory`, or
`--hold`.
This is solved by adding a JSON-based message format to the IPC socket
messages which instructs the Alacritty server on which CLI parameters
should be used to create the new window.
Fixes #5562.
Fixes #5561.
Fixes #5560.

Previously Alacritty would always initialize only a single terminal
emulator window feeding into the winit event loop, however some
platforms like macOS expect all windows to be spawned by the same
process and this "daemon-mode" can also come with the advantage of
increased memory efficiency.
The event loop has been restructured to handle all window-specific
events only by the event processing context with the associated window
id. This makes it possible to add new terminal windows at any time using
the WindowContext::new function call.
Some preliminary tests have shown that for empty terminals, this reduces
the cost of additional terminal emulators from ~100M to ~6M. However at
this point the robustness of the daemon against issues with individual
terminals has not been refined, making the reliability of this system
questionable.
New windows can be created either by using the new `CreateNewWindow`
action, or with the `alacritty msg create-window` subcommand. The
subcommand sends a message to an IPC socket which Alacritty listens on,
its location can be found in the `ALACRITTY_SOCKET` environment
variable.
Fixes #607.
