Inner panics could make it hard to trouble shoot the issues and for some
users it's not desirable.
The inner panics were left only when they are used to `assert!` during
development.
This reverts commit 9f91bc413fe20618bd7090829832bb074aab15c3 which
reverted the original patch which was merged without a proper review.
Fixes: #500.

Lifetimes don't work nicely when dealing with multithreaded environments
in the current design of the existing winit's event handling model, so
remove it in favor of `InnerSizeWriter` fences passed to client, so they
could try to update the size.
Fixes#1387.
This adds two new extensions for running a Winit event loop which will
replace `EventLoopExtRunReturn`
The `run_return` API is trying to solve multiple problems and address
multiple, unrelated, use cases but in doing so it is not succeeding
at addressing any of them fully.
The notable use cases we have are:
1. Applications want to be able to implement their own external
event loop and call some Winit API to poll / pump events, once
per iteration of their own loop, without blocking the outer,
external loop. Addressing #2706
2. Applications want to be able to re-run separate instantiations
of some Winit-based GUI and want to allow the event loop to exit with
a status, and then later be able to run the loop again for a new
instantiation of their GUI. Addressing #2431
It's very notable that these use cases can't be supported across
all platforms and so they are extensions, similar to
`EventLoopExtRunReturn`
The intention is to support these extensions on:
- Windows
- Linux (X11 + Wayland)
- macOS
- Android
These extensions aren't compatible with Web or iOS though.
Each method of running the loop will behave consistently in terms of how
`NewEvents(Init)`, `Resumed` and `LoopDestroyed` events are dispatched
(so portable application code wouldn't necessarily need to have any awareness
of which method of running the loop was being used)
Once all backends have support for these extensions then we can
remove `EventLoopExtRunReturn`
For simplicity, the extensions are documented with the assumption that
the above platforms will be supported.
This patch makes no functional change, it only introduces these new
extensions so we can then handle adding platform-specific backends
in separate pull requests, so the work can be landed in stages.
