Hyper Sessions restoration

[ppot]

Working on this again

Iteration circle into multiple PR. Closes Issues #785, #567

Provide

app quit and process quit -> state restoration after shutdown / restart

This PR includes important changes in order to allow sessions record and restoration.

Concern

At the moment, the session is not affiliated to any opened tabs or splits in the win object. Sessions are created and then added to the sessions map in the win object so each win inside the windowsSet has multiples session.

Update

• Add win folder
• Add window object extanding BrowserWindow
• window now have a Set of Tab
• Tab now include a root Pane and each pane have childs

Apply hyper

Record

• [x] periodically save state
• [x] record all windows positions and sizes
• [x] record windows opened tabs
• [x] record tab root Pane and childs
• [x] record each Pane session cwd

Restoration

• [x] restore windows
• [x] restore windows tabs
• [x] restore tab Pane and child
• [x] restore Pane session cwd

This way, we can record the windowSet object and apply the restoration on restart and reload the precedent recorded state.

Great work, @ppot! I resolved the conflicts locally to test it and it looks amazing to me.

The code and the new organization also looks great to me, but ultimately I'd like to see an opinion from @rauchg and @ekmartin about it 🙌

Any progress on this?

[ppot]

@VladShcherbin Haha will need improvement hehe ;)

[ppot]

Good news. Working on this again!

[vladshcherbin]

@ppot hey, any news on this one? 🗞

[ppot]

@VladShcherbin Yes. Im slowly reworking the internals of Hyper. Which take some times with my busy schedule. Not forgotten thought. This PR is old and the code base changed a lot. So i'm not rebasing haha. Starting fresh.

[ggamel]

@ppot You have many, appreciative people cheering for your work, regardless of pace. 👏

Whenever it lands, very much looking forward to the new functionality.

+1 @ppot How's it coming along? I would absolutely love this feature! is there anything I can help with?

Most of the team is currently working on rolling out all the kinks that came with the switch to xterm.js in 2.x, so that we can release it to everyone on the stable channel.

I think it's best to wait with implementing this until then, since it requires pretty big changes, and combining that with all the other changes in 2.x currently would just extend the timeframe for 2.0 release.

We will be able to tackle this after the 2.0 release! 🎉

[ppot]

Since, switching to xterm affect the Term interface, I don't want to be constantly reworking code to match update change. So waiting on 2.0 for a working session restoration. Constantly looking at code change and see what can be upgraded and changed.

@rightaway Each windows will be restored with their specific layouts.
