Research direction
Start with the referenced winit/Cargo.toml feature configuration and trace how WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 is handled on macOS. Reproduce with an alacritty binary built with the x11 feature, then verify that the requested X11 backend is used instead of a regular window.

Description
Description
This causes alacritty to use a regular window instead of running in an x11 environment even when WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 is specified and the binary is built with the x11 feature. See https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/blob/7fe8c206aea89e70e8c56c3315266337c56cee8f/winit/Cargo.toml#L100-L105
