This branch is blocked, unless I can find a system to reliably test it. Eventually sway will get support for reset recovering, but for now when GPU reset happens system compositor is the first thing that dies so the fact that alacritty will die doesn't matter.

There also will be a wayland protocol to handle(notify client when they should redraw due to GPU reset), but that's not required for us and basically nice to have thing that will be used by winit anyway.

I mean sway will have support for stuff like that eventually, it'll also require a special protocol though.
