This works:
```lua
xplr.fn.custom.ping = function(app)
print("What's your name?")
local name = io.read()
os.execute('read -p "Hello ' .. name .. ', you are in ' .. app.pwd .. '"')
return {
{ LogSuccess = "pong" },
}
end
```
Then it can be called via `CallLua: custom.ping`.
The initial idea was to enable other tools to control `xplr` via the
input pipe. However, so far I didn't feel the need to use this feature.
And even if there is any need, it's much better to implement ad-hoc
services instead of wasting cpu resources.
- Optimize by avoiding cloning the whole app in each iteration of the main
loop.
- Increase the input poll timeout from 1 to 200. This works because the
poll will not apply to key hold.
- Do not read input pipe if it hasn't been modified.

This PR targets 2 pain points.
1. The `Explore` message was async, which caused some unexpected
behavior. This was fixed by splitting `Explore` into `ExplorePwd`,
`ExplorePwdAsync` and `ExploreParentsAsync`. `ExploreParentsAsync`
is similar to the former `Explore`, which is mainly used when loading
`xplr` for the first time. However, what we'll be using frequently
are `ExplorePwd` and `ExplorePwdAsync` messages.
2. Files with spaces caused some unexpected behavior. This was fixed by
escaping the paths properly. This also fixed focusing of a file after
creating or renaming it.
Anothor breaking change is that `XPLR_PIPE_FOCUS_OUT` has been removed.
`XPLR_FOCUS_PATH` is all we need. So, the rule of thumb is if a variable
contains one liner value, it can be used directly from the env vars.
Variables that can contain multi-line values, will be exposed via the
pipes.
Minor changes are
- Add `switch_mode` mode to the global key binding help menu
- Moved some UI related code from config.rs to ui.rs.
- Fixed compilation issue on `rustc 1.50.0`.
From this commit, the app state will be written to the output pipes only
when invoking a command.
For auto refreshing pipes, we can brainstorm on `service`s concept.
