## Message

```
terminal: Add backend-neutral terminal types (#57483)

Refactor to isolate alacritty types into the terminal crate and offers
comparable apis where needed for similar functionality. However, these
are Zed-owned types instead of the dependency leaking across multiple
crates, making alacritty an implementation detail of the terminal crate.
