Fixes CMD+K, faster on Windows, fewer bugs 😻

Patches

• Re-implement clear, make it not buggy, fix CMD+K: #1796
• Modify config watch interval to 2s. Improves CPU usage on Windows! (#1772): #1699
• Open Hyper config in the native desktop's default manner: #1784
• Round up float values for hamburger menu positioning. Fixes #1462: #1753
• Simplify and correct newlines replacement logic on Windows: #1713
• Handle electron default env to avoid leaking the google API key to user's envs: #1764

Important note: previously, we had our own implementation of ⌘+K. Now, we instead pass CTRL+L to the terminal when you press it. If you have vi mode enabled, you'll need something like this in your ~/.inputrc to make sure this works while in insert mode (the default):

set editing-mode vi
$if mode=vi

set keymap vi-command
# these are for vi-command mode
Control-l: clear-screen

set keymap vi-insert
# these are for vi-insert mode
Control-l: clear-screen 
$endif
