Add Wayland/GNOME support

[juljimm]

Add full Wayland support for GNOME Shell using the Window Calls extension.

Features:

• Window management via D-Bus (move, resize, maximize, minimize)
• Cycle through window sizes (left, right, corners, etc.)
• Vertical and horizontal maximize with toggle support
• State persistence between invocations
• GNOME custom keybindings integration (since Wayland blocks global hotkeys)

New files:

• quicktile/wayland_wm.py: Wayland window manager backend
• quicktile/wayland_keybinder.py: Wayland keybinding support
• setup-wayland-keybindings.sh: GNOME keybindings configurator
• install-wayland.sh: One-line installer for Wayland
• run-quicktile.sh: Wrapper script for running QuickTile
• WAYLAND.md: Detailed Wayland documentation
• tests/test_wayland_wm.py: Unit tests for Wayland backend

Requirements:

• GNOME Shell
• Window Calls extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4724/window-calls/)

Thanks. :)

Is there a particular distro you'd recommend I pull off https://www.osboxes.org/ for testing this?

(I'm very much a KDE user and don't want to gamble on apt-geting GNOME mucking up something in which implementation of some system service gets run.)

Hi! Ubuntu would be a good choice since that's what I use for development. Any recent LTS version (22.04 or 24.04) should work fine — they come with GNOME by default.

Funny thing about that. I'm on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS right now (granted, with snapd ripped out and blacklisted and replaced with flatpaks), so it really is just "I don't want to risk a GNOME installation messing with which providers get started for which D-Bus services.)

...so yeah. Shouldn't be a problem. I'll try to fit it in for some time over the next few days. If it turns out GNOME is still as bad at running at a usable speed in VirtualBox as I remember, maybe I'll pull out one of the hand-me-down laptops I was planning to use to test out the KDE Wayland session without risking my daily driver desktop.

Sorry for the delay. I forgot I had some stuff running in KVM that I normally don't need to leave running for an extended period of time and that VirtualBox's AMD-V support doesn't work at the same time as KVM's.

I'd rather not futz around with adding a new KVM-based VM but I'll try to get that wound down as quickly as possible so I can spin up the Ubuntu VM.
