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>`
Update the Wayland core protocol spec file and add support for the new axis_value120 event to handle high resolution scroll wheels.
The axis_value120 replaces the axis_discrete event, which is no longer sent as of version 8 of the protocol. Note that unlike the axis_discrete event, no mention in the spec is made regarding how many axis_value120 events may occur per-axis per-frame, so the values are accumulated and committed when the pointer frame event occurs.
Wayland works like SDL's "auto capture" feature already, tracking the mouse
globally only while a drag is occuring, and this is the only way to get mouse
input outside the window.
Setting this flag ourselves lets SDL_CaptureMouse() work in the most common
use case without actually implementing CaptureMouse for the backend, including
SDL's auto capture feature.
Fixes#6010.
1. Mod index values are (mostly) constant, so can be done with xkb_state_new
2. Mods can change without the group changing, avoid remap events if possible
Lastly, as a bonus, I added braces to the locale check, because I was nearby.
Previous to this commit, key repeats events were typically generated when
pumping events, based on the time of when the events are pumped. However,
if an application doesn't call `SDL_PumpEvents` for some seconds, this time
can be multiple seconds in the future compared to the actual key up event time,
and generates key repeats even if a key was pressed only for an instant.
In practice, this can happen when the user presses a key which causes the
application to do something without pumping events (e.g. load a level).
In Crispy Doom & PrBoom+, when the user presses the key bound to "Restart
level/demo", the game doesn't pump events during the "screen melt" effect,
and the level is restarted multiple times due to spurious repeats.
To fix this, if the key up event is among the events to be pumped, we generate
the key repeats there, since in the Wayland callback we receive the time when
the key up event happened. Otherwise, we know no key up event happened and we
can generate as many repeats as necessary after pumping.

Refactorization with no functional changes.
Instead of `next_repeat_ms` containing a timestamp based on SDL ticks, we make
it zero-based relative to the key press time, and we store the key press time in
SDL ticks in a new field.
This refactorization is groundwork for future commits which need to use the
key press and release timestamps provided by the Wayland API, which are also
expressed in milliseconds, but whose base does not match the one for SDL ticks.

We can have spurious wakeups in WaitEventTimeout() due to Wayland events
that don't end up causing us to generate an SDL event. Fortunately for us,
SDL_WaitEventTimeout_Device() handles this situation properly by calling
WaitEventTimeout() again with an adjusted timeout.
There is no guarantee on what order the Wayland interfaces will come in, but the
callbacks were assuming that wl_data_device_manager would could before wl_seat.
This would cause certain desktops to not have any data_device to work with,
meaning certain features like the clipboard would silently no-op.
Unlike Mutter and Sway, KWin actually checks the serial passed in
wl_pointer_set_cursor(). The serial provided is supposed to be the
serial of the pointer enter event, but We were always passing 0.
This caused KWin to drop our requests to hide the cursor.
Thanks to the KDE folks for spotting this in my debug logs.
Fixes#3576
Use zwp_keyboard_shortcuts_inhibit_manager_v1 to allow SDL applications
to capture system keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab when keyboard grab is
enabled via SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD.

I have implemented Drag and Drop and Clipboard support for Wayland.
Drag and dropping files from nautilus to the testdropfile application seems to work and also copy and paste.
Generate the C protocol files from the protocol XML files installed by
wayland-protocols, and use them to implement support for relative pointer
motions and pointer locking.
Note that at the time, the protocol is unstable and may change in the future.
Any future breaking changes will, however, fail gracefully and result in no
regressions compared to before this patch.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
