Since panics still regularly "destroy" the terminal, it is hard to get a
stack trace for panics you do not anticipate. This commit adds a panic
handler that automatically creates a logfile inside the current working
directory.
It has to be added to every goroutine that is started and will repair
the terminal on a panic.

Also update to the tcell v2 PaletteColor api, which should keep the chosen
theme of the user intact.
Note, that if $TRUECOLOR is defined and a truecolor given, aerc will now stop
clipping the value to one of the theme colors.
Generally this is desired behaviour though.
A popover is a special UI element which can be layered over the rest of
the UI (i.e. it is painted last) and can fall anywhere on the screen,
not just with the bounds of its parent's viewport/context. With these
special abilities comes the restriction that only one popover may be
visible on screen at once.
Popovers are requested from the UI context passed to Draw calls and
specify the anchor point and the desired dimensions. The popover is then
fit to the available space and placed relative to the anchor point.
Add a "new-message-bell" option to the UI section of aerc.conf. A new
hook into the message store allows the msglist widget to detect new
messages being added to the displayed list. When new messages are
delivered, and the new-message-bell option is enabled (as it is by
default), the terminal will beep.
This introduces a new interface `Clickable`. I'd imagine this would be
implemented for most widgets eventually and would allow for programs run
in the terminal to also have their mouse events forwarded to them.
For the tabs it was relatively simple to check that the position of the
click is within the boxes for the tabs. For other components I'd imagine
that some state representing their currently drawn bounding box would be
useful.
This makes it so an atomic `invalid` value is used instead of an unbuffered
channel. When many invalidations kick in, a lot of values were sent to the
channel.
(Since OnInvalidate's callback can be run in any goroutine, we need to be
careful about races here.)
This commit introduces a new Aerc.Tick function that should be called to
refresh the internal state. This in turn makes each AccountView process worker
events.
The UI goroutine repeatedly refreshes the internal state before drawing a new
frame. The reason for this is that many worker messages may need to be
processed for a single frame, and drawing the UI is far slower than refreshing
the internal state. This has been confirmed in my testing (calling Aerc.Tick
only once per frame results in a slower display).
Many synchronization code has been removed. We can now write widgets without
having to care so much about races. The remaining sync users are:
- widgets/spinner: the spinner value is updated from inside an internal
goroutine
- lib/ui/invalidatable: Invalidate may be called from any goroutine
- lib/ui/grid: same
- lib/ui/ui: an internal goroutine needs read access to UI.exit
- worker/types/worker: Worker.callbacks is used for both worker and UI
callbacks
The exact goroutine requirements for Drawable have been documented.
This is a simple mostly straight forward switch to tcell in favor of
termbox.
It uses the tcell native api (not the compat layer) but does not make
use of most features.
Further changes should include moving to tcell's views.TextArea and the
general built in widget behaviour instead of the current ad hoc
implementation.
