Prior to #7044, on macOS, our shell integrated command line would be
executed under `exec -l`, which caused bash to be started as a login
shell. Now that we're using direct command execution, add `--login` to
our bash command's arguments on macOS to get that same behavior.
Recently when answering [a Discussion], I was reminded of when Tristan
once linked the GTK CSS documentation and said “Perhaps good to add this
to the docs of the GTK custom CSS config option”, so I decided to do
that now. I also added a few random things that I found helpful when
attempting to modify Ghostty's CSS; this information was mostly stolen
from random people on Discord or accidentally discovered.
I really do not care if this is merged or not, nor do I care if the
strings are changed considerably[^1], so I am going straight for a Pull
Request without bothering to open a Discussion, get that converted to an
Issue after a few years, then finally remember to open a Pull Request.
I only tested what this looks like in `ghostty +show-config --default
--docs`, the manpage and the HTML output; I notably did not try seeing
how it renders on the website. The links have to be in angle brackets
for the HTML output to have it rendered as URLs, but it looks odd
everywhere else; manpages have them with mathematical angle brackets,
⟨like this⟩. I also refrained from using an em (—) or en (–) dash
instead of a normal dash (-) as that does not seem to be common in the
rest of the documentation.

[^1]: I didn't see any guidelines or standards for these strings, so
presumably these would be contested as I didn't know what to adhere to
when writing them.
XTGETTCAP queries are a semicolon-delimited list of hex encoded terminfo
capability names. Ghostty encodes a map using upper case hex encodings,
meaning when an application uses a lower case encoding the capability is
not found. To fix, we convert the entire list we receive in the query to
upper case prior to processing further.
Fixes: #7229

It may not be immediately obvious how to style Ghostty despite knowing
of the existence of that configuration option; one who is more
accustomed to web development would likely be very reliant on their
browser's inspector for modifying and debugging the style of their
application. GTK CSS also differs in some important ways from the CSS
found in browsers, and hence linking to the GTK CSS documentation would
save time for anyone new to styling GTK applications.
