server/client: add support for sending SIGUSR to footclient
This patch adds the IPC infrastructure necessary to propagate SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 from a footclient process to the server process. By targeting a particular footclient instance, only that particular instance changes theme. This is different from when targeting the server process, where all instances change theme. Closes #2156

The following signals have special meaning in foot:

- SIGUSR1: switch to color theme 1 (i.e. use the *[colors]* section).

- SIGUSR2: switch to color theme 2 (i.e. use the *[colors2]* section)-

- SIGUSR2: switch to color theme 2 (i.e. use the *[colors2]* section).

Note: you can send SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to a *foot --server* process too,
|
||||
in which case all client instances will switch theme. Furthermore, all
|

future client instances will also use the selected theme.
|

|

Sending SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to a footclient instance is currently not
|

supported.

You can also send SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to a footclient instance, see
|
||||
*footclient*(1) for details.

# Signals
|
||||
|
||||
The following signals have special meaning in footclient:
|
||||
|
||||
- SIGUSR1: switch to color theme 1 (i.e. use the *[colors]* section).
|
||||
- SIGUSR2: switch to color theme 2 (i.e. use the *[colors2]* section).
|
||||
|
||||
When sending SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to a footclient instance, the theme is
|
||||
changed in that instance only. This is different from when you send
|
||||
SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to the server process, where all instances change the
|
||||
theme.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: for obvious reasons, this is not supported when footclient is
|
||||
started with *--no-wait*.
