config: don't allow colors.flash-alpha to be 1.0

Browse source 
A compositor will not send a frame callback for our main window if it
is fully occluded (for example, by a fully opaque overlay...). This
causes the overlay to stuck.

For regular buffers, it _should_ be enough to *not* hint the
compositor it's opaque. But at least some compositor special cases
single-pixel buffers, and actually look at their pixel value.

Thus, we have two options: implement frame callback handling for the
overlay sub-surface, or ensure we don't use a fully opaque
surface. Since no overlays are fully opaque by default, and the flash
surface is the only one that can be configured to be
opaque (colors.flash-alpha), and since adding frame callback handling
adds a lot of boilerplate code... let's go with the simpler solution

* Runtime changes to the app-id (OSC-176) now limits the app-id string
to 2048 characters ([#1897][1897]).
* `colors.flash-alpha` can no longer be set to 1.0 (i.e. fully
opaque). This fixes an issue where the window would be stuck in the
flash state.
