Allow running in native Wayland mode

Nicolas Fella requested to merge work/nico/wayland into master

Even if not officially supported yet we want to be able to run Krita as a native Wayland app for development and testing.

To allow this a new environment variable KRITA_FORCE_WAYLAND is added. When the variable is not set Krita will still use XWayland when running in a Wayland session

Test Plan

Run Krita in a Wayland session. Confirm that it runs as XWayland via xprop.

Then run Krita with KRITA_FORCE_WAYLAND=1. Confirm that it doesn't run under XWayland any more. Draw a bit and verify that it doesn't crash.

Formalities Checklist

  • I confirmed this builds.
  • I confirmed Krita ran and the relevant functions work.
  • I tested the relevant unit tests and can confirm they are not broken. (If not possible, don't hesitate to ask for help!)
  • I made sure my commits build individually and have good descriptions as per KDE guidelines.
  • I made sure my code conforms to the standards set in the HACKING file.
  • I can confirm the code is licensed and attributed appropriately, and that unattributed code is mine, as per KDE Licensing Policy.
  • Does the patch add a user-visible feature? If yes, is there a documentation MR ready for it at Krita Documentation Repository?

Reminder: the reviewer is responsible for merging the patch, this is to ensure at the least two people can build the patch. In case a patch breaks the build, both the author and the reviewer should be contacted to fix the build. If this is not possible, the commits shall be reverted, and a notification with the reasoning and any relevant logs shall be sent to the mailing list, kimageshop@kde.org.
