Adds in simple generic persist interface. #1897

This is likely to jank to be put into core; I will probably make this a library. |

I don't think this is too jank to be in core, we should keep it here. Does this persist values across restarts? |
|
Yes; but it does some metatable stuff I feel you really won't like. |
|
Not really, copying the data by-value to another lua_State is more or less what I'd expect. I would definitely try to store the Lua state with TLS but I think jgmdev can handle that. I can see how copying userdata can be useful, but I think its better to just not set metatable on the output and leave it for the user to set that. I would add that its probably good for this to be accessible via C as well, so for instance fonts can be preserved over restarts. |

Okay, well if you're serious about entertaining this, I'm going to experiment with this first to preserve |
Made the renwindow persistence a bit more generic, so that we can use it for other things (like detecting a restart), or possibly for persisting long-running processes like LSPs between restarts.
This way we can easily flag data which should be kept around between restarts so that if we do need to optimize those cases to ensure an optimal experience, we can.
