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.
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.
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.

Keeping the license as part of every file bloats up the files
unnecessarily and introduces an additional overhead to the creation of
new modules.
Since cargo already provides excellent dependency management, most of
the code-reuse of Alacritty should occur through Rust's dependency
management instead of copying it source.
If code is copied partially, copying the license from the main license
file should be just as easy as copying from the top of the file and
making some adjustments based on where it is used is likely necessary
anyways.
This takes the latest glutin master to port Alacritty to the EventLoop
2.0 rework.
This changes a big part of the event loop handling by pushing the event
loop in a separate thread from the renderer and running both in
parallel.

This is a large refactor of the config parsing structure, attempting to
reduce the size of the file a bit by splitting it up into different
modules with more specific purposes.
This also fixes#2279.
