This new renderer is implemented with the existing wlr_renderer API
(which is known to be sub-optimal for some operations). It's not
used by default, but users can opt-in by setting WLR_RENDERER=vulkan.
The renderer depends on VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier and
VK_EXT_physical_device_drm.

This removes the need for the ad-hoc loop.
Because udev creates the symlinks in /dev/dri/by-path/, we need to
wait for it to consume all pending events before the chmod call.
Previously the delay needed for seatd to come up was enough to let
udev create the symlinks in time (by chance).
New warnings can be hard to notice in CI, since CI will just pass in
that case. Meson sometimes uses warnings for important mistakes, e.g.
invalid option.
Let's turn warnings into errors so that we can spot these more easily.
This allows us to validate the objcopy trick in CI. It's basically free
to build both static and shared libraries anyway.
We only enable this for GCC builds right now, as Meson currently lacks
support for prelinking with other compilers.
Check that the pkg-config file is available. This will be required
in the future to check whether xwayland supports features such as
-listenfd, -initfd or -verbose.
If there's no pkg-config file, check that the Xwayland executable
is available.
This effectively makes our relationship with xwayland closer to what
a dynamic library is: checked at build-time, but can be overridden
at run-time.
This is simply a false sense of security, and is worse than just using
setuid. CAP_SYS_ADMIN is an extremely serious capability that is
effectively as powerful as root.
It also required users to be in the input group, which allows any
process to keylog the entire system.
The logind provider defaulted to systemd and in order to use elogind,
-Dlogin-provider=elogind was required. This adds 'auto' as a choice
for the login-provider option and sets it as default. Using 'auto',
the build will check for systemd first and if it's not found, try
to find and use elogind automatically.
Arch Linux maintainers are still figuring out whether they should ask
people to explicitely install it or make it a dependency of libxcb again
[1]. In the meantime, add it as an explicit dependency. I'll revert
this patch if they decide otherwise.
