Tracking issue for Wayland development progress

[shymega]

This issue is for Wayland development to be documented, and updates given on the progress of adding Wayland support to Barrier.

@p12tic Could you please push a branch to the repo with your local Barrier development work when you can, please? That way we can have contributions for Wayland support.

The libei project seems to be very interesting in the context of barrier. It seems to be what implementation of barrier working with Wayland compositors needs. Seeing that it's a part of libinput project, seems to be a safe choice to use because it is very likely that this will be used by majority if not all Wayland compositors.
