Custom wayland backend #315

Closed LGFae closed 5 months ago

Nukes wayland.rs and implements all wayland specific functionality by hand.

This has several benefits:

we no longer depend on wayland.rs and thus will not have to rewrite the daemon if there are breaking upstream changes
we can eliminate a lot of Arcs , since they were only necessary because of how wayland.rs works in general
we do not need to implement a bunch of dummy traits (as we did for wayland.rs)
less dependencies means faster compilation times (though the client takes a lot more to compile than the daemon anyway)
