input configuration to pass input as stdin on startup

This adds a new configuration `input` that allows passing either raw
text or file contents as stdin when starting the terminal.

The input is sent byte-for-byte to the terminal, so control characters
such as `\n` will be interpreted by the shell and can be used to run
programs in the context of the loaded shell.

Example: `ghostty --input="hello, world\n"` will start the your default
shell, run `echo hello, world`, and then show the prompt.
