Hilmar WiegandandRidan Vandenbergh b92664c52d gpui: Implement support for wlr layer shell (#35610)
This reintroduces `layer_shell` support after #32651 was reverted. On
top of that, it allows setting options for the created surface,
restricts the enum variant to the `wayland` feature, and adds an example
that renders a clock widget using the protocol.

I've renamed the `WindowKind` variant to `LayerShell` from `Overlay`,
since the protocol can also be used to render wallpapers and such, which
doesn't really fit with the word.

Things I'm still unsure of:
- We need to get the layer options types to the user somehow, but
nothing from the `platform::linux` crate was exported, I'm assuming
intentionally. I've kept the types inside the module (instead of doing
`pub use layer_shell::*` to not pollute the global namespace with
generic words like `Anchor` or `Layer` Let me know if you want to do
this differently.
- I've added the options to the `WindowKind` variant. That's the only
clean way I see to supply them when the window is created. This makes
the kind no longer implement `Copy`.
- The options don't have setter methods yet and can only be defined on
window creation. We'd have to make fallible functions for setting them,
which only work if the underlying surface is a `layer_shell` surface.
That feels un-rust-y.

Thanks to @wuliuqii, whose layer-shell implementation I've also looked
at while putting this together.

Release Notes:

- Add support for the `layer_shell` protocol on wayland

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
