Description

Changes

For everyone

Memory usage was optimized, bringing a ~25% reduction in memory usage in our benches. Thanks to @kimono-koans for the initial idea and help with this.

For CLI users

• Added a :pty preview-window flag that will make the preview run in a PTY. This allows for more interactive commands and more complicated display, including running sk itself inside sk's preview (run SKIM_DEFAULT_OPTIONS='--preview "sk" --preview-window ":pty"' sk for the extreme version).
  Note: the pty preview does not take input (for now). For instance, scrolling in paged output will not work.
• Readded --sync functionality after it was broken in v1

For library users

• A more fine-grained control over skim's event loop is now possible using tokio and the new methods on Skim. Check them out if you want to interact with the skim instance while it is running.
• [breaking] The SkimOptionsBuilder's setter methods are back to taking raw &strs instead of Strings. This should match the behavior pre-v1, sorry for the extra work that some of you already put in to migrate.

🚀 Features
