Dropdown/Guake/Visor/hotkey terminal feature

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** The so-called "**dropdown**" terminal window can be activated or deactivated by a single keystroke. Many terminal emulators have integrated this feature, for example, KDE's [yakuake](https://github.com/KDE/yakuake), quake style [guake](https://github.com/Guake/guake) in Gnome, [tilda](https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda). Also iTerm2 could set to this mode by enable a system wide hotkey in config. And here's a [short video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJCzAHpTTTg) shows how this feature works in [xfce-terminal](https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-terminal). This is a so important feature for terminal emulator that there is even [an independent project](https://github.com/noctuid/tdrop) to help people to get it. **Describe the solution you'd like** A new key assignment: ``` keys = { # press F1 to popup or hide wezterm window {key="F1", mods="", action="ToggleDropdown"} } ```
