macOS Alt/Option situation

This release removed the alt_send_esc option entirely in favor of option_as_alt in window section. This option
behaves like iterm2's ESC+ or Terminal.app's option as meta. So for example to make your left option
as alt, you do:

window:
    option_as_alt: OnlyLeft

However some keyboard layouts are using Alt + 8 to enter the [ character and you don't want to send ESC for them.
For these layouts you must define bindings yourself in key_bindings section, but be aware that key bindings that were
floating around in different issues may not be working anymore, so the recommended way
to bind those keys is to do the following:

1. Run alacritty --print-events | grep -i keyboardinput.
2. Press problematic key bindings on such layouts, for example Alt + 8.
3. In the output you'll see something like KeyboardInput { device_id: DeviceId(DeviceId), input: KeyboardInput { scancode: 28, state: Pressed, virtual_keycode: Some(LBracket), modifiers: ALT }, is_synthetic: false } }.
4. Add a binding like - { key: LBracket, mods: Alt, chars: "[" }, the key is virtual_keycode from step 3 if it end up being None you can write key: 28, where 28 is scancode from 3.
5. Repeat 1-4 until you are done.
