wip: Highlights results

[jean-santos]

Hello!
I'm opening this PR to introduce the idea and get your opinion on this!

I started with the idea of highlighting the output for fzf (which I currently use), while at that, I saw that is possible to use the same strategy to highlight TUI output too. Though I'm not sure if I should keep both on the same PR.

What it is somewhat working right now:
atuin search --fzf-mode QUERY | fzf --ansi
--fzf-mode invert the order of the output (fzf style : the first line is the most relevant) and highlight the result's

The current tui atuin search -i

Update : I'm working on this again with the goal to only highlight on both tui and --cmd-only

Coloring the interactive search TUI was requested in #503 as well. I think that is definitely a worthwhile change.

On the --fzf-mode change, it should probably be split into a separate PR unless the implementations are very interdependent.

This would be quite nice to have, skim has such highlights too.

Apologies for the delayed response.
I'm busy lately and couldn't work on this PR. I'd be happy if someome could pick this up!

Writing a comment here as a check-in for where the branch currently is at, and what needs to be done.

Currently there is some partial highlighting:

(main on the bottom, branch on the top)

But it doesn't look like there's fuzzy highlighting:

So getting highlighting working for multiple spans of a command will be my first goal I think. I'll leave updates as I find other things to be done for this to be merged.

Hey! I'm going to close this one as it's pretty inactive. Happy to reopen should that change 🙏
