befd7fe63e Support mp4 videos for demos
For all videos but the first video in the readme we want to use mp4 because it's faster, better quality,
smaller, and allows you to play/pause (don't quote me on the smaller part).

HOWEVER: github won't let us reference mp4s stored in our repo from the readme, like it does for gifs
(who knows why). This is annoying because it prevents us from easily re-recording things if the UI
changes. So I've got the logic for recording to mp4 but I'm thinking of sticking to gifs for now

14ecc15e71 Use first class task objects instead of global counter
The global counter approach is easy to understand but it's brittle and depends on implicit behaviour that is not very discoverable.

With a global counter, if any goroutine accidentally decrements the counter twice, we'll think lazygit is idle when it's actually busy.
Likewise if a goroutine accidentally increments the counter twice we'll think lazygit is busy when it's actually idle.
With the new approach we have a map of tasks where each task can either be busy or not. We create a new task and add it to the map
when we spawn a worker goroutine (among other things) and we remove it once the task is done.

The task can also be paused and continued for situations where we switch back and forth between running a program and asking for user
input.

In order for this to work with `git push` (and other commands that require credentials) we need to obtain the task from gocui when
we create the worker goroutine, and then pass it along to the commands package to pause/continue the task as required. This is
MUCH more discoverable than the old approach which just decremented and incremented the global counter from within the commands package,
but it's at the cost of expanding some function signatures (arguably a good thing).

Likewise, whenever you want to call WithWaitingStatus or WithLoaderPanel the callback will now have access to the task for pausing/
continuing. We only need to actually make use of this functionality in a couple of places so it's a high price to pay, but I don't
know if I want to introduce a WithWaitingStatusTask and WithLoaderPanelTask function (open to suggestions).
