macos: fixup SUPER+SHIFT+[ key decoding

One of the default key assignments was registered as `SUPER+SHIFT+{`
which worked on macOS, but on Linux, would never match because the
keypress over there was (correctly) reporting as `SUPER+{`.

I originally thought that the user reported issue was a linux
normalization problem, but in looking deeper, the issue is really
that macos is doing something funky!

On macos we collect the interpreted key event as a string, and also
the interpretation of that event without any modifiers applied.

For letters this means that eg: `ALT-l` reports as `¬` for the
processed string and `l` for the unmodified string.  That's good!

However, for punctuation we get a backwards result: SUPER+SHIFT+[
produces `[` for the processed text and `{` for the unmodified
text!

This commit tries to detect this, using a heuristic that is
potentially bad on non-US layouts: if both the processed and
unmodified strings are punctuation then we bias to the unmodified
version.

With that change, that key press is correctly reported as `SUPER+{`,
and we can fix the key assignment registration to reflect that.

I quickly checked the behavior of pressing that same physical key
combination with a DEU layout active, and it appears that the unmodified
stuff is also flipped there; we get a lower-case version of something
that I think should be uppercase.  This commit doesn't change that
behavior:

```
key_event KeyEvent { key: Char('ü'), modifiers: NONE,
        raw_key: Some(Char('Ü')),
        raw_modifiers: SHIFT | SUPER,
        raw_code: Some(33),
        repeat_count: 1, key_is_down: true }
```

20210314-114017-04b7cedd

• New: tab_bar_style allows customizing the appearance of the rest of tha tab bar.
• New: animated gif and png images displayed via wezterm imgcat (the iTerm2 image protocol), or attached to the window background via window_background_image will now animate while the window has focus.
• New: added foreground_text_hsb setting to adjust hue, saturation and brightness when text is rendered.
• New: added ResetFontAndWindowSize key assignment.
• New: added ScrollByLine key assignment.
• New: OSC 777 and OSC 9 escapes now generate Toast Notifications. printf "\e]777;notify;%s;%s\e\\" "title" "body" and printf "\e]9;%s\e\\" "hello there". These don't currently pass through multiplexer connections. #489.
• New: exit_behavior config option to keep panes open after the program has completed. #499
• New: added --config name=value options to wezterm, wezterm-gui and wezterm-mux-server. The --front-end, --font-locator, --font-rasterizer and --font-shaper CLI options have been removed in favor of this new mechanism.
• New: window:set_config_overrides method that can be used to override GUI related configuration options on a per-window basis. Click through to see examples of dynamically toggling ligatures and window opacity. #469 #329
• New: introduced custom_block_glyphs option to ensure that block glyphs don't have gaps. #433
• New: you can now drag the wezterm window via the tab bar
• New: holding SUPER+Drag (or CTRL+SHIFT+Drag) will drag the wezterm window. Use StartWindowDrag to configure your own binding.
• New: configure window_decorations to remove the title bar and/or window border
• New: we now bundle PowerlineExtraSymbols as a built-in fallback font, so that you can use powerline glyphs with any font without patching the font.
• New: window:set_right_status allows setting additional status information in the tab bar. #500
• New: Search Mode: Added CTRL-u key assignment to clear the current search pattern. Thanks to @bew! #465
• Fonts: font_antialias and font_hinting are now deprecated in favor of the new freetype_load_target and freetype_load_flags options. The deprecated options have no effect and will be removed in a future release. The new options provide more direct control over how freetype rasterizes text.
• Fonts: when computing default font_rules for bold and italic fonts, strip italic and bold components from the family name. eg: if you set font = wezterm.font("Source Code Pro Medium") then the Medium text will be stripped from the font name used to locate bold and italic variants so that we don't report an error loading a non-sensical Source Code Pro Medium Bold. #456
• Fonts: fix a regression where bright windows behind wezterm could "shine through" on the alpha channel, and adjust the tinting operation to avoid anti-aliased dark fringes #470 #491
• Fonts: macOS: fix an issue where wezterm could hang when loading a font located via Core Text #475
• Fonts: Changed the default font_size to 12 points. #517
• Fonts: Updated bundled JetBrainsMono font to version 2.225

• OSC 52 (Clipboard manipulation) now respects the difference between PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD on X11 systems.
• Fixed an issue where large pastes could result in a hang
• Closing the configuration error window no longer requires confirmation
• Fixed: an issue where the window would be redrawn on mouse move. This was most noticeable as a laggy mouse pointer when moving the mouse across a window running on the nouveau display driver on X11 and Wayland systems
• Fixed: an issue where closing a pane would immediately SIGKILL the associated process, rather than sending SIGHUP. Thanks to @bew!
• Fixed: line-based mouse selection (default: triple click) now extends forwards to include wrapped lines. #466
• Fixed: the RIS escape wasn't clearing the scrollback. #511
• Wayland: fixed opengl context creation issues. Thanks to @unrelentingtech! #481
• Wayland: the raw key modifiers are now correctly propagated so that they activate when used with key assignments using the key = "raw:123" binding syntax.
• Wayland: fixed window decoration and full screen handling #224
• Wayland: fixed an issue where key repeat processing could "run away" and hang the application
• Windows: the portable .zip file download now includes ANGLE EGL, just like the setup.exe installer has done since version 20201031-154415-9614e117
• Windows: Fixed ToggleFullScreen so that it once again toggles between full screen and normal placement. #177
• Windows: fix the unexpected default behavior of Ctrl-Alt being converted to AltGr for layouts supporting this key, the previous behavior is still possible by enabling the option treat_left_ctrlalt_as_altgr (to solve #392). Thanks to @bew! #512
• Windows: fixed "Open WezTerm Here" context menu in explorer when used on the root of a drive (eg: C:\). Thanks to @flyxyz123! #526 #451
• X11: fix an issue where SHIFT-Enter was not recognized #516
• X11: improved DPI detection for high-DPI displays. #515
• X11: we now load the XCursor themes when possible, which means that the mouse cursor is now generally a bit larger and clearer as well as conforming more with the prevailing style of the desktop environment. #524
• Improved and optimized image processing so that watching videos via timg - Terminal Image and Video Viewer works better #537 #535 #534

20210203-095643-70a364eb

• Fix cursor position after using iTerm2 image protocol #317
• Fix pixel dimensions after changing the pane size; this was mostly invisible but impacted image scaling when using sixel or iTerm2 image protocols. #312
• Add support for OSC 133 which allows annotating output as Output, Input (that you typed) and Prompt (shell "chrome"). Learn more about Semantic prompt and OSC 133
• Add ScrollToPrompt key assignment that scrolls the viewport to the prior/next shell prompt emitted using OSC 133 Semantic Prompt escapes. This assignment is not bound by default.
• Fixed an issue where SpawnWindow didn't use the current working directory from the current pane to spawn the new window
• Added wezterm start --class CLASSNAME option to specify the window class name under X11 and Windows, or the app_id under Wayland. See wezterm start --help for more information.
• Added shell integration for setting OSC 7 (working directory) and OSC 133 (semantic zones) for Zsh and Bash. See Shell Integration docs.
• Added SemanticZone as a possible parameter for SelectTextAtMouseCursor, making it possible to conveniently select complete input or output regions.
• Improved font rendering #320 #331 and changed font_antialias = "Greyscale" by default.
• Updated internal harfbuzz shaper to 2.7.2
• Fixed ALT-Escape not sending ESC-ESC #338
• Added allow_square_glyphs_to_overflow_width = "WhenFollowedBySpace" option to allow square symbol glyphs to deliberately overflow their
  specified cell width when the next cell is a space. Can be set to Always to allow overflowing regardless of the next cell being a space,
  or Never to strictly respect the cell width. The default is Never. #342
• macOS: Improved key input when Option is pressed. Fixed dead key processing when use_ime=true. #357
• macOS: Adjusted default dpi to 72 to bring point sizes into alignment with other macOS apps. #332
• Improved font fallback; we now try harder to find a system-provided font for glyphs that are not found in your explicitly configured fonts.
• Revised pty output processing and removed the related ratelimit_output_bytes_per_second option
• Workaround Cocoa leaking window position saved state file descriptors to child processes on macOS Big Sur, and Gnome/Mutter doing something similar under X11
• The 256 color cube now uses slightly brighter colors #348
• New: added line_height configuration option to scale the computed cell height. The default is 1.0, resulting in using the font-specified metrics. Setting it to 1.2 will result in a 20% larger cell height.
• macOS: Fixed an issue where hovering over the split between panes could result in wezterm becoming unresponsive #391
• Closing windows and QuitApplication will now prompt for confirmation before proceeding with the close/quit. Added window_close_confirmation to control this; valid values are AlwaysPrompt and NeverPrompt. #280
• Tidied up logging. Previously ERROR level logging was used to make sure that informational things showed up in the stderr stream. Now we use INFO level logging for this to avoid alarming the user. You can set WEZTERM_LOG=trace in the environment to get more verbose logging for troubleshooting purposes.
• Windows: fix an issue where VNC-server-emulated AltGr was not treated as AltGr #392
• X11: fix an issue where keys that produce unicode characters retained SHIFT as a modifier instead of normalizing it away. #394
• Fixed an issue where a symbol-only font would be seen as 0-width and panic wezterm #404
• Tweaked mouse selection: we now round the x-coordinate to the nearest cell which makes it a bit more forgiving if the mouse cursor is slightly to the left of the intended cell start. #350
• Added selection_word_boundary option to control double-click word selection boundaries. The default is \t\n{}[]()"'`. #405
• Added support for Curly, Dotted and Dashed underlines. See this documentation on the escape sequences how enable undercurl support in vim and nvim. #415
• Fixed an issue where wezterm would spawn processes with umask 077 on unix systems, rather than the more commonly expected umask 022. #416
• macOS: We now ship a Universal binary containing both Intel and "Apple Silicon" architectures
• Setting a really large or really small font scale (using CTRL +/-) no longer causes a panic #428
• Fixed an issue where the mouse wheel wasn't mapped to cursor up/down when the alternate screen was active #429
• Fixed ToggleFullScreen not working on macOS and X11. It still doesn't function on Windows. native_macos_fullscreen_mode = false uses a fast full-screen window on macOS. Set it to true to use the slower macOS native "Spaces" style fullscreen mode. #177
• Windows: fix an issue where the initial window size didn't factor the correct DPI when the system-wide display scaling was not 100%. #427
• New: adjust_window_size_when_changing_font_size option to control whether changing the font size adjusts the dimensions of the window (true) or adjusts the number of terminal rows/columns (false). The default is true. #431
• macOS: we no longer use MetalANGLE to render the gui; it was short lived as macOS Big Sur now uses Metal in its CGL implementation. Support for using MetalANGLE is still present if the dylib is found on startup, but we no longer ship the dylib.
• Windows: when pasting text, ensure that the text has CRLF line endings unless bracketed paste is enabled. This imperfect heuristic helps to keep multi-line pastes on multiple lines when using Windows console applications and to avoid interleaved blank lines when using unix applications. #411
• New: ClearScrollback now accepts a parameter to control whether the viewport is cleared along with the scrollback. Thanks to @dfrankland!
• New: default_cwd to specify an alternative current working directory. Thanks to @dfrankland!
• New: CopyTo and PasteFrom actions. Copy, Paste and PastePrimarySelection
  are now deprecated in favor of these new options.
• X11: Mouse-based selection now copies-to and pastes-from the PrimarySelection by default. The CompleteSelection and CompleteSelectionOrOpenLinkAtMouseCursor actions now require a parameter to specify the clipboard.
• X11: SHIFT-CTRL-C and SHIFT-CTRL-V now copy-to and paste from the Clipboard by default. SHIFT-Insert pastes from the PrimarySelection by default.
• New: Added a new default CTRL-Insert key assignment bound to CopyTo(PrimarySelection)
• macOS: Windows now have drop-shadows when they are opaque. These were disabled due transparency support was added. Thanks to Rice! #445
• Unix: adjust font-config patterns to also match "dual spacing" fonts such as Iosevka Term. Thanks to Leiser! #446
• New: Added alternate_buffer_wheel_scroll_speed option to control how many cursor key presses are generated by the mouse wheel when the alternate screen is active. The new default for this is a faster-than-previous-releases 3 lines per wheel tick. #432
• macOS: Dead Keys are now processed even when use_ime=false. More details in the docs. #410.

20201101-103216-403d002d

• Whoops! fixed a crash on macOS when using multiple windows in the new Metal renderer #316
