plugins: Improve error handling on plugin version mismatch (#1838)
* server/tab: Don't panic in `Pane::render` and do not crash the application on failure to receive a render update from plugins any longer. Instead, will print a simple string with a hint to check the application logs, where a more thorough error indication can be found. * utils/errors: re-export `anyhow::Error` to create ad-hoc errors with custom error types, without having to wrap them into a `context()` before to turn the into anyhow errors. * plugins: Check plugin version on startup and terminate execution with a descriptive error message in case the plugin version is incompatible with the version of zellij being run. * server/wasm_vm: Add plugin path in version error so the user knows which plugin to look at in case they're using custom plugins. * server/wasm_vm: Check plugin version for equality Previously we would accept cases where the plugin version was newer than the zellij version, which doesn't make a lot of sense. * server/wasm_vm: Prettier error handling in call to `wasmer::Function::call` in case a plugin version mismatch can occur. * tile: Install custom panic handler that will print the panic message to a plugins stdout and then call a panic handler on the host that turns it into a real application-level panic. * tile: Catch errors in event deserialization and turn them into proper panics. These errors are symptomatic of an uncaught plugin version mismatch, for example when developing from main and compiling zellij/the plugins from source. Normal users should never get to see this error. * utils/errors: Improve output in `to_stdout` for anyhow errors. The default anyhow error formatting of `{:?}` is already very good, and we just made it worse by trying to invent our own formatting. * tile: Reword plugin mismatch error message * zellij: Apply rustfmt * changelog: Add PR #1838 Improve error handling on plugin version mismatch. * server/wasm_vm: Rephrase error in passive voice
