Improved --sync behavior

When --sync is provided, fzf will not render the interface until the initial filtering and associated actions (bound to any of 'start', 'load', or 'result') are complete.

 0.53.1
 ------
- Bug fixes and minor improvements
-    - Better cache management and improved rendering for `--tail`
-    - Fixed crash when using `--tiebreak=end` with very long items
-    - Fixed mouse support on Windows
-    - zsh 5.0 compatibility (thanks to @LangLangBart)
-    - Fixed `--walker-skip` to also skip symlinks to directories
-    - GET endpoint is now available from `execute` and `transform` actions (it used to timeout due to lock conflict)
