add: capability to dispatch actions from the cli (#1265)

This feature is gated behind the unstable feature flag. Because the serialization format will be changed at some point. We would still already be glad about early feedback on this feature.

Can be invoked through zellij action [ACTIONS].

Automatically sends the action to the current session, or if there is just one to the single session, if there are multiple sessions, then the session name must be specified.

Example:
```
zellij
zellij action NewTab:
```
Send actions to a specific session:
```
zellij -s fluffy-cat
zellij -s fluffy-cat action 'NewPane: , WriteChars: "echo Purrr\n"'
```
Open htop in a new tab:
```
zj action "NewTab: {run: {command: {cmd: htop}}}"
```

mouse-mode [bool]
pane-frames [bool]

```
simplified-ui
```

Add action to toggle between tabs ToggleTab, bound by default to [TAB] in tab mode (#622)
Terminal compatibility: properly handle cursor shape changes in eg. Neovim (#659)
The resize and layout systems have been overhauled (#568)
- Resizing a terminal then returning it to its original size will now always return panes to their original sizes and positions
- Resize mode resizes panes by 5% of the space on screen, not some fixed number
- Panes on-screen keep their ratios – a screen split 50/50 between two panes will remain 50/50 even as the terminal is resized (#406)
- The terminal can now be resized without leaving fullscreen mode
- Layout parts are split into equal percentages if no explicit split-size is given (#619)
- Fixed display of the tab bar at small terminal widths

Add tabs to layouts (#625)

The layout has now a template, and tabs section. The template specifies the location a tab is inserted in with body: true.

Eg:

---
template:
  direction: Horizontal
  parts:
    - direction: Vertical
      borderless: true
      split_size:
        Fixed: 1
      run:
        plugin: tab-bar
    - direction: Vertical # <= The location of
      body: true          # <= the inserted tab.
    - direction: Vertical
      borderless: true
      split_size:
        Fixed: 2
      run:
        plugin: status-bar
tabs:
  - direction: Vertical # <= Multiple tabs can be
  - direction: Vertical # <= specified in the layout.
  - direction: Vertical

The NewTab action can optionally be bound to open a layout that is assumed to be in the new tabs section

This is a BREAKING CHANGE for people that have the NewTab action already bound in the config file:

- action: [NewTab, ]
  key: [F: 5,]

must now be specified as:

- action: [NewTab: ,]
  key: [F: 5,]

Optionally a layout that should be opened on the new tab can be specified:

- action: [NewTab: {
  direction: Vertical,
  parts: [ {direction: Horizontal, split_size: {Percent: 50}},
  {direction: Horizontal, run: {command: {cmd: "htop"}}},],
  key: [F: 6,]
