CVDisplayLink deprecation in macOS 15

[meshula]

As of macOS 15.0, CVDisplayLink is deprecated. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corevideo/cvdisplaylink-k0k?language=objc

gcc  -x c -c RGFW.h -D RGFW_NO_API -D RGFW_EXPORT -D RGFW_IMPLEMENTATION -o RGFW.o
RGFW.h:7357:3: warning: 'CVDisplayLinkCreateWithCGDisplay' is deprecated: first deprecated in macOS 15.0 - use NSView.displayLink(target:selector:), NSWindow.displayLink(target:selector:), or NSScreen.displayLink(target:selector:)  [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
 7357 |                 CVDisplayLinkCreateWithCGDisplay(win->src.display, (CVDisplayLinkRef*)&win->src.displayLink);
      |                 ^

As of macOS 14.0, the replacement is on NSView. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsview/4191632-displaylinkwithtarget?language=objc

I was wondering if anyone's got a patch or fix in progress?

Currently one must remove -Werror from the makefile to build on Mac.

Oh, I didn't realize.

I was wondering if anyone's got a patch or fix in progress?

A handful of people will fix the issues they find, but I'm the only person actively working on RGFW. I didn't know this was an issue so I didn't have any plans to replace it. But I will look into replacing it asap!

Thanks! I may have a chance to look at it in a month or two; if I do get to it before you, I'll let you know.
