Flatpak support has been a HUGE pain to keep working, the builds take
forever and cost me real money, and there are very few users. Ideally,
we want to just use native system packagers for each distro. I thought
Flatpak would make it easy to support many distros but that ended up
being false.
This is based on our conversation on Discord and adds a setting for GTK
that allows disabling the GTK single-instance mode.
If this is off, it's possible to start multiple applications from the
same release binary.
Tested like this:
```
$ zig build -Dapp-runtime=gtk -Doptimize=ReleaseFast && ./zig-out/bin/ghostty --gtk-single-instance=false
[... starts new application ...]
```
and
```
$ zig build -Dapp-runtime=gtk -Doptimize=ReleaseFast && ./zig-out/bin/ghostty --gtk-single-instance=true

* search for resources dir relative to executing binary on Linux
From Andrew in #241:
This works in all 3 of the possible scenarios I can think of on Linux:
* `zig build` with default prefix into `zig-out`
* `zig build -p ~/local` (my choice when compiling from source)
* ghostty packaged for a linux distribution into /usr/bin and /share
* update README
This just popped into my head. Took me a while to figure out the syntax
a few weeks back, so why not document it here? I don't think it'll
change.
I can change the colors though. What I have here is my gruvbox theme.
Maybe we should use the default colors?
