Closes#3187
- **PR Description**
#3187 observes that lazygit crashes with a stack trace if it's run from
a non-existent current working directory. The steps to reproduce are:
```
mkdir test
cd test
rm -r ../test
lazygit
```
(Note: I can repro this on Ubuntu, but not on macOS Sonoma, where
lazygit starts regardless of whether the current working directory
exists or not.)
Here's how the repro steps look on Ubuntu with this PR applied:
```
simon@ubuntu:/Users/simon/src/3p/lazygit$ go build .
simon@ubuntu:/Users/simon/src/3p/lazygit$ mkdir deleteme
simon@ubuntu:/Users/simon/src/3p/lazygit$ cd deleteme/
simon@ubuntu:/Users/simon/src/3p/lazygit/deleteme$ rm -r ../deleteme
simon@ubuntu:/Users/simon/src/3p/lazygit/deleteme$ ../lazygit
2024/01/02 18:40:15 Error: the current working directory does not exist
```

Without this it's not reliably possible to ask whether a given view is visible
by asking
windowHelper.TopViewInWindow(context.GetWindowName()) == context.GetView()
because there could be transient, invisible contexts after it in the Z order.
I guess it's a bit of a coincidence that this has never been a problem so far.
The output of the GetWindowDimensions function is hard to understand just by looking at it,
so I've added a helper function in the tests to render the window layout as text, so that
in order to create a new test you just come up with some args and paste the output as the
expected output.
This has the same downsides that any snapshot-based testing has: it's more brittle than
targeted assertions. But it is much easier to make sense of these snapshots than it is
to make sense of more fine-grained assertions, and I like the fact that these tests can
serve as documentation.
We are also removing the single-character padding on the left/right edges of the bottom
line because it's unnecessary
Unfortunately we need to create views for each spacer: it's not enough to just
layout the existing views with padding inbetween because gocui only renders
views meaning if there is no view in a given position, that position will just
render whatever was there previously (at least that's what I recall from talking
this through with Stefan: I could be way off).

It sounds like at some point we only showed a slash as the search prompt, but I
dug a bit through the history and couldn't find a state of the code where that
was the case. (shrug)
