Custom Pager support for windows

[bin101]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my opinion the default pager is very confusing. I really like to use diff-so-fancy or something similar.

Additional context
The custom pager docs are mentioning that you are using a package which has no windows support. Could you (@jesseduffield) clarify which package this is? Maybe there is an alternative in the meantime?

This package seems to be PTY, correct?

There seems to be an alternative named ConPTY for windows since 2018:

And also a go implementation:

Interestingly, we use creack/pty and on that repo there's a PR that appears to be almost across the line which supports conpty: creack/pty#109. So I think we can wait for that to merge and then bump the dependency and hopefully it won't take too much to hook things up (we'd need to update pkg/gui/pty_windows.go or potentially delete that file and have everything go through pkg/gui/pty.go)

Adding a snooze so we get a ping once the PR has been merged.

@SnoozeThis creack/pty#109

(https://snoozeth.is/WM8xZZDUIIA) I will wait until creack/pty#109 is merged and then add a comment.

This PR creack/pty#155 looks a bit more lively

Btw, as a workaround you can install WSL on Windows. Setup lazygit how you want it to be in your WSL environment. On your Windows environment go to your project and type the command wsl lazygit. That way WSL will activate lazygit on your current directory even if on Windows and the pagers will work.

The downside is though that because youre on a mounted drive it can get very slow with large/many files.

Any update for Windows users running lazygit?

Same problem here. Cannot use lazygit if delta is not supported.

Our hope rests on the fate of this PR: creack/pty#155
