Fix thin strokes on macOS
Remove the `font.use_thin_strokes` config, which only did anything on
macOS and only prior to Big Sur. Instead, we will enable or disable
"font smoothing" on macOS based on the `AppleFontSmoothing` user
default.
These changes let users get the "thin strokes" behavior by setting
`AppleFontSmoothing` to 0 with:
```sh
$ defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0
```
(Or replace `-g` with `org.alacritty` to apply this setting only to
Alacritty.app, rather than the whole system.)
Add a `removed` config attribute to show helpful warnings to users
who are using config options that don't do anything anymore, and apply
this attribute to `font.use_thin_strokes`.
Bump `crossfont` to 0.5.0 to pick up the new font smoothing behavior.
This release also includes a fix for a crash when trying to load a
disabled font.
Fixes #4616.
Fixes #6108.
