mandelbrot visualization tutorial

in this tutorial we will create an app with gtk 3.0 and rust to display the mandelbrot set.

0.0: What is the mandelbrot set?

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set:

"The Mandelbrot set (/ˈmændəlbrɒt/) is the set of complex numbers c for which the function fc(z)=z² + c does not diverge when iterated from z = 0, i.e., for which the sequence f(0),f(f(0)), etc., remains bounded in absolute value."

The Mandelbrot set is known for its surprising beauty comming from such a simple formula. It is also a popular example for self-similarity.
