Adds an rc file for windows. An rc file is a source file given to the
toolchain that instructs it on what "resources" to embed inside the
executable. You can think of "resources" as files or data that get
embedded into the executable and can be accessed both by the application
at runtime or by the OS. The OS uses resources for things like getting
the icon of the executable or extracting the version of an exe for the
user. Note that exe resources can also be modified without having to
recompile/relink the binary.
Thanks to Squeek502 zig has its own "RC Compiler" so this should still be
buildable on all platforms.
In the RC file I've included some basic info and left in comments for
other info to be populated later. I've also included a manifest file
which starts out by telling windows that our exe will be DPI aware and
to use a slightly more modern look and feel for native controls.
The app.desktop file shipped with the default build presumes the install
location of the binary. Let the OS determine the executable through it's
normal PATH variables.
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.
Inspired by #413.
This modifies the .desktop files so that it's possible to right-click on
the Ghostty icon in a dock and get the "New window" action.
Apparently this is how you implement that in GTK applications. In order
for us to also get "New tab", we'd have to implement a CLI flag, I
think.
