This puts the Linux platform implementation at a similar code style and
quality to the macOS platform. The largest change is that I collapsed
the `LinuxPlatform` -> `[Backend]` -> `[Backend]State` ->
`[Backend]StateInner` to just `[Backend]` and `[Backend]State`, and in
the process removed most of the `Rc`s and `RefCell`s.
TODO:
- [x] Make sure that this is on-par with the existing implementation
- [x] Review in detail, now that the large changes are done.
- [ ] Update the roadmap
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR unifies the event loop code for Wayland and X11. On Wayland,
blocking dispatch is now used. On X11, the invisible window is no longer
needed.

Depends on https://github.com/zed-industries/font-kit/pull/2 and
https://github.com/kvark/blade/pull/77
This change enables Blade to be also used on MacOS. It will also make it
easier to use it on Windows.
What works: most of the things. Zed loads as fast and appears equally
responsive to the current renderer.

Things missing:
- [x] video streaming. ~~Requires a bit of plumbing on both Blade and
Zed sides, but all fairly straightforward.~~
- verified with a local setup
- [x] resize. ~~Not sure where exactly to hook up the reaction on the
window size change. Once we know where, the fix is one line.~~
- [ ] fine-tune CA Layer
- this isn't a blocker for merging the PR, but it would be a blocker if
we wanted to switch to the new path by default
- [ ] rebase on latest, get the dependency merged (need review/merge of
https://github.com/zed-industries/font-kit/pull/2!)
Update: I implemented resize support as well as "surface" rendering on
the Blade path (which will be useful on Linux/Windows later on). I
haven't tested the latter though - not sure how to get something
streaming. Would appreciate some help! I don't think this should be a
blocker to this PR, anyway.
The only little piece that's missing for the Blade on MacOS path to be
full-featured is fine-tuning the CALayer configuration. Zed does a lot
of careful logic in configuring the layer, such as switching the
"present with transaction" on/off intermittently, which Blade path
doesn't have yet.

This PR adds Wayland support to gpui using
[wayland-rs](https://github.com/Smithay/wayland-rs). It is based on
[#7598](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/7598).
It detects Wayland support at runtime by checking the existence of the
`WAYLAND_DISPLAY` environment variable. If it does not exist or is
empty, the X11 backend will be used. To use the X11 backend in a Wayland
session (for development purposes), you just need to unset
WAYLAND_DISPLAY (`WAYLAND_DISPLAY= cargo run ...`).
At the moment it only creates the window and renders the initial content
provided by `BladeRenderer`, so it can run "Hello world" example.

Todo:
- [x] Add basic Wayland support.
- [x] Add window resizing.
- [x] Add window closing.
- [x] Add window updating.
- [ ] Implement input handling, fractional scaling, and support other
Wayland protocols.
- [ ] Implement all unimplemented todo!(linux).
- [ ] Add window decorations or use custom decorations (like on MacOS).
- [ ] Address other missing functionality.

Alternative to #7758, which doesn't involve adding a new trait method
`request_draw`.
Somehow, my whole screen goes blinking black with this when moving the
window, so not ready for landing.

Release Notes:
- Separated Linux platform and X11-specific code, so that we can add
Wayland support now.
