📄 Description

This PR enables the output of the backtrace to the terminal when the app panics. This feature is currently only enabled in Debug and also ignores the RUST_BACKTRACE environment variable. It uses the workaround suggested here fdehau/tui-rs#177.

Unfortunately there is still an issue with the cursor placement after the crash where it is placed into the stacktrace output if the app was not run from the last line in terminal. Demonstration:

Cursor not at bottom before app is started:

Cursor at bottom before app is started (expected behaviour):

I couldn't figure out a solution yet but I think this could be fixed in a later PR because this is a valuable addition to track down the reason for crashes. This would improve situations like these https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/102.
