This PR adds some of the GUI methods from AutoHotkey. Namely:
msg_boxas an analog for AHK'sMsgBoxinput_boxas an analog for AHK'sInputBoxfile_select_boxas an analog for AHK'sFileSelectFilefolder_select_boxas an analog for AHK'sFileSelectFolderThis PR does not implement the broader
Guifunctions. Because AHK lacks true threading, while AHK is reading stdin for new commands, no other activity can occur in the AHK process. This means that GUI dialogs will fail to respond to user input (causing Windows to indicate 'the application is not responding'). This could be worked around in a similar manner to how we handle hotkeys in a separate process for the same reason -- however, this is decidedly not planned. Python has far more robust options for GUI libraries that users can easily compose into their Python applications.Closes #11
