[Feature request] Wayland support

[Twig6943]

This can't be a duplicate, anyways I think a wayland backend would be a great addition cuz X is on its deathbed and should be avoided if possible

I've managed to get Wayland working on my Lime fork, tested on Arch Linux. The only catch is that I didn't include the generated Wayland protocol files, so you'll need to cd to project/lib/sdl2 and compile it with CMake, then copy them from wayland-generated-protocols to project/lib/custom/sdl/include/wayland-protocols then finally rebuild Lime.

Oh, SDL2 won't use wayland by default so you need to change SDL_VIDEODRIVER.

Yea yea figured that out myself. Also no there's need to recompile. Its possible to use 'LD_PRELOAD' + 'SDL_VIDEODRIVER' to get wayland working on already compiled games
