X11 has a so-called primary selection, which you can use by marking text and middle-clicking elsewhere to copy the marked text.
There are 3 new API functions in `SDL_clipboard.h`, which work exactly like their clipboard equivalents.
## Test Instructions
* Run the tests (just a copy of the clipboard tests): `$ ./test/testautomation --filter Clipboard`
* Build and run this small application:

* Use c,v,d,f to get and set the clipboard and primary selection.
* Mark text and middle-click also in other applications.
* For wayland under x:
* `$ mutter --wayland --no-x11 --nested`
* `$ XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./<path_to_test_appl_binary>`

On even-valued resolution, cursor is stable at bottom-right central pixel
On odd-valued resolution, cursor is stable at exact central pixel.
this is the desired behaviour
In some cases, a backbuffer size update may not be accompanied by a resize event if the window size and/or scale were updated before the new backbuffer size was recomputed. Instead of the scale, use the old/new backbuffer sizes to determine if a resize event is required so that a backbuffer size change will always be followed by a resize event.
Clang 15 makes implicit function declarations fatal by default which
leads to some configure tests silently failing/returning
the wrong result.

Instead of wrapping individual calls to SDL_SetDisplayModeForDisplay(), just check the flag in the function itself and make it a NOP that cannot fail if the flag is set. Silences some errant "SDL video driver doesn't support changing display mode" log errors.
When hiding a window, libdecor can report bogus content region sizes that are +/- the height of the title bar. Ignore any size values from libdecor when hiding a window, or the size may be incorrect when restored.
The compositor can arbitrarily move windows between displays, including fullscreen windows. Update the internal state when a fullscreen window is moved so the internal SDL state accurately reflects the window location, and resize the window to fit the new display.
This also fixes an edge case where the compositor can make a window fullscreen on a different display than SDL thinks it will be on (usually when a window is made fullscreen by the compositor while straddling multiple displays), which can result in the window being incorrectly sized.
If additional fullscreen requests are received when the window is already fullscreen, it is typically due to the fullscreen flags or emulated video mode being changed. A commit must be explicitly triggered or the requested changes won't take effect until some other event, such as a resize or focus change, causes the changes to be committed.
The compositor can toggle the fullscreen state (via a hotkey or otherwise), so the internal SDL state must be updated accordingly when it does.
When toggling fullscreen via the compositor, SDL will attempt to use the last fullscreen flag explicitly set. If no flag was previously set, SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN will be used if a window video mode was set, otherwise SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP will be used. If the previous flag was SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN and the window video mode was cleared, it will revert to SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP.
SDL_Quit() should be the last SDL API that you call before exiting your application, and is intended to clean up all internal state.
If real-life applications are relying on thread-local storage after SDL_Quit() we could potentially add a hint to control this behavior.

DS4Windows can create both emulated Xbox and emulated PS4 controllers, and we don't know which the user has it doing, so don't try to second guess it, just let it do it's thing. Users should follow the remapping software recommendations on when to enable/disable it for various situations.
