For a long time lazygit has used the term "custom pager" to refer to
what's really a "diff renderer". A pager is a program that allows you to
view output page by page (hence the name), e.g. less; lazygit's custom
diff renderers are not pagers. It used the term only because the feature
is implemented using git's GIT_PAGER env var, but that's an
implementation detail.
Rename the 'git.pagers' config to 'git.diffRenderers', and restructure
its elements while we're at it to make things clearer:
- Add a 'type' field to explicitly specify which type of diff renderer
it is (the two fundamentally different ones are 'stdinFilter' and
'extDiff').
- Add a third type, 'rawGit', which has an 'args' field that makes it
easy to use 'git --color-words' as a custom renderer
- Unify the old 'pager' and 'externalDiffCommand' fields to a single
'command' field for both types
Existing config files are migrated automatically.
It doesn't matter for what this test used to test (that nothing changes
if the 'pagers' array exists), but it will be relevant once we further
migrate the 'pagers' array from there.
It has served its purpose when config migration was initially
implemented, but nobody runs this benchmark nowadays, and the example
config has run out of date with reality. Some PRs have still updated it
when they made changes to the config, but others didn't, and it's
unclear what the rules are; so let's just remove it.
A handful of default keybindings differ by platform (e.g. word-wise
cursor movement in text inputs uses alt on macOS but ctrl elsewhere).
Lazygit chooses these based on the OS it runs on, but that's the wrong
signal when the OS isn't where the user is actually typing: someone
running lazygit in a Linux container that they access over ssh from a
Mac gets the Linux bindings, when they'd rather have the Mac ones.
Remapping each binding by hand via config is tedious, so add a single
LAZYGIT_KEYBINDING_PLATFORM override.
An unrecognized value falls back to the real OS rather than to the
non-darwin default bindings, since the latter would be an arbitrary
choice.
The command was renamed from "View worktree options" to "New worktree",
but its keybinding config key was still 'worktrees.viewWorktreeOptions'.
That name no longer matches the command, and the 'worktrees' section made
little sense: it held a single binding that isn't even used in the
worktrees panel (that panel uses universal.new), only in the branches,
remotes, tags, commits, and stash panels. Other keybinding sections are
named after the panel they're local to; this one wasn't local to any.
Move it to universal.newWorktree, which describes the action and drops the
spurious section, and migrate existing configs automatically.

Two settings to control the upcoming background polling mechanism:
- git.autoDetectExternalChanges (default true) is the on/off switch, parallel to
autoFetch/autoRefresh
- refresher.externalChangeCheckInterval (default 2 seconds) is the poll cadence
Disabling is the bool's job, not a magic 0 interval, matching the existing
convention.
Not yet referenced by any code.
Replace merge-tool with merge options menu that allows resolving all
conflicts for selected files as ours, theirs, or union, while still
providing access to the merge tool.
This frees up ctrl-z for suspend. Hopefully, redo is not such a frequently used
operation that the change annoys people.

This might be useful to see in general (users will normally only see it after
they quit lazygit again, but still). But it is especially useful when writing
back the config file fails for some reason, because users can then make these
changes manually if they want.
We do this only at startup, when the GUI hasn't started yet. This is probably
good enough, because it is much less likely that writing back a migrated
repo-local config fails because it is not writeable.
It's a bit silly to find out by string comparison whether computeMigratedConfig
did something, when it knows this already and can just return the information.
This doesn't make a huge difference to the production code; the string
comparison isn't very expensive, so this isn't a big deal. However, it makes the
tests clearer; we don't have to bother specifying an expected output string if
the didChange flag is false, and in particular we can get rid of the ugly "This
test intentionally uses non-standard indentation" bit in one of the tests.
