/// Run Alacritty
///
/// Currently, these operations take place in this order.
/// 1.  create a window
/// 2.  create font rasterizer
/// 3.  create quad renderer
/// 4.  create glyph cache
/// 5.  resize window/renderer using info from glyph cache / rasterizer
/// 6.  create a pty
/// 7.  create the terminal
/// 8.  set resize callback on the window
/// 9.  create event loop
/// 10. create display
/// 11. create input processor
/// 12. create config reloader
/// 13. enter main loop
///
/// Observations:
/// * The window + quad renderer + glyph cache and display are closely
///   related Actually, probably include the input processor as well.
///   The resize callback can be lumped in there and that resize step.
///   Rasterizer as well. Maybe we can lump *all* of this into the
///   `Display`.
/// * the pty and event loop closely related
/// * The term bridges the display and pty
/// * Main loop currently manages input, config reload events, drawing, and
///   exiting
///
/// It would be *really* great if this could read more like
///
/// ```ignore
/// let display = Display::new(args..);
/// let pty = Pty::new(display.size());
/// let term = Arc::new(Term::new(display.size());
/// let io_loop = Loop::new(Pty::new(display.size()), term.clone());
/// let config_reloader = config::Monitor::new(&config);
///
/// loop {
///     force_draw = false;
///     // Wait for something to happen
///     processor.process_events(&display);
///
///     // Handle config reloads
///     if let Ok(config) = config_rx.try_recv() {
///         force_draw = true;
///         display.update_config(&config);
///         processor.update_config(&config);
///     }
///
///     // Maybe draw the terminal
///     let terminal = terminal.lock();
///     signal_flag.set(false);
///     if force_draw || terminal.dirty {
///         display.draw(terminal, &config);
///         drop(terminal);
///         display.swap_buffers();
///     }
