gpui: Add support for window transparency & blur on macOS (#9610)

This PR adds support for transparent and blurred window backgrounds on
macOS.

Release Notes:

- Added support for transparent and blurred window backgrounds on macOS
([#5040](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5040)).
- This requires themes to specify a new `background.appearance` key
("opaque", "transparent" or "blurred") and to include an alpha value in
colors that should be transparent.
