Add resize_window configuration action

This patch adds the `resize_window` configuration action, which has the
following arguments:

1. Quality of resize amongst `wider`, `narrower`, `taller`, and
   `shorter` (mandatory).
2. Increment in number of cells (optional, default: 1).

This makes it possible to configure keys as such:

    map ctrl+shift+left resize_window narrower
    map ctrl+shift+right resize_window wider
    map ctrl+shift+up resize_window taller
    map ctrl+shift+down resize_window shorter

and have a behaviour which is somewhat close to Terminator's.

not taller/shorter. Note that what you are resizing is actually not a window,
but a row/column in the layout, all windows in that row/column will be resized.
You can define shortcuts in :file:`kitty.conf` to make the active window
wider, narrower, taller, or shorter by mapping to the ``resize_window``
action, for example::
map ctrl+left resize_window narrower
map ctrl+right resize_window wider
map ctrl+up resize_window taller
map shift+down move_window shorter
...
The ``resize_window`` action has a second, optional argument to control
the resizing increment (a positive integer)::
map ctrl+up resize_window taller 3
...
Some layouts take options to control their behavior. For example, the ``fat``
and ``tall`` layouts accept the ``bias`` option to control how the available
space is split up. To specify the option, in :opt:`kitty.conf <enabled_layouts>` use::
