The `SizeInfo` is a SizeInfo used for rendering, which contains
information about padding, and such, however all the terminal need is
number of visible lines and columns.
Currently Alacritty only works on hardware which supports OpenGL 3.3 or
more, which can become problematic with older devices. This patch adds a
new GLES2 renderer, since it is much more widely supported, especially
on weaker hardware like phones or a Raspberry Pi.
While the GLES2 renderer is slower than the OpenGL 3.3+ version, it is
still significantly faster than software rendering. However because of
this performance difference it is only used when necessary and there
should be no difference for machines supporting OpenGL 3.3+.
The two renderers are largely independent and separated in the
`renderer/text/glsl3` and `renderer/text/gles2` modules. Separate
shaders are also required for text rendering. The rectangle rendering
for underlines and the visual bell works identically for both versions,
but does have some version-specific shader code.
Fixes#128.
