Implement Wayland support

[00-Evan]

Wayland support is determined by the code libraries Shattered uses, mainly libGDX. I have no control over the windowing system directly. If you want libGDX to support Wayland, I suggest opening and issue on their github page: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx

Well... There is a solution, but you're not going to like it.

You can start SPD with a special Java argument which makes LWJGL use another version of GLFW specifically patched so that it disables some error checks. It was originally made to allow Minecraft to run under Wayland but it works here too.

If you want to test that it works do this:

1. Have Arch Linux installed on your PC
2. Install glfw-wayland-minecraft-libdecoration from the AUR
3. Run java -Dorg.lwjgl.glfw.libname=/usr/lib/libglfw.so -jar shatteredpd.jar

And it works! The only thing that is broken is the icon on the window border, which I think nobody honestly cares about.

In practice, it means you would have to compile your own GLFW and package it with the linux release and provide a startup script which enables this option.

But yes, that is the hacky solution.

A better one would be for GDX to support Wayland directly, of course, but I believe that there's enough benefits to warrant doing this. And doing this is trivially simple anyways.

Yeah sadly that's not something I'd consider doing. I do plan to keep updating Shattered's depencies though, so if/when libGDX supports Wayland then Shattered will support it fairly soon after.
