Fixes a compatibility issue with i3 where resizing works as described
hereafter:
> Direction can either be one of up, down, left or right. Or you can be
> less specific and use width or height, in which case i3 will take/give
> space from all the other containers.
Sway previously considered only the direct neighbours, not all siblings.
Fixes#5936
Replace the XWayland-only class attribute in the examples:
- The first example given should work for Wayland-native windows.
- The example 'Kill all windows with the title "Emacs"' should use
title, not class. Also, it's a substring (regex) match.
There are many different implementations of regular expressions with
incompatible syntax. For example, GNU grep alone provides three
different ones. Clarify the use of PCRE2 by sway criteria.

Adds a bool config option `primary_selection`, which explicitly
enables/disables the primary selection clipboard. Defaults to enabled.
This is implemented as a launch-only option which enables or disables the creation of the
`zwp_primary_selection_device_manager_v1` global.

Add a subcommand for `smart_gaps` that enables outer gaps only
on workspaces with exactly one visible child.
Also add documentation for `smart_gaps toggle`.
Add a subcommand for `gaps` that allows to toggle gaps at
runtime. This functionality is part of i3-gaps since [1]
but is missing in sway.

In i3, the workspace_layout command does not affect the
workspace layout. Instead, new workspace level containers
are wrapped in the desired layout and the workspace layout
always defaults to the output orientation.
Add a separate per-view shortcuts_inhibitor command that can be used
with criteria to override the per-seat defaults. This allows to e.g.
disable shortcuts inhibiting globally but enable it for specific,
known-good virtualization and remote desktop software or, alternatively,
to blacklist that one slightly broken piece of software that just
doesn't seem to get it right but insists on trying.
Add a flag to sway_view and handling logic in the input manager that
respects that flag if configured but falls back to per-seat config
otherwise. Add the actual command but with just enable and disable
subcommands since there's no value in duplicating the per-seat
activate/deactivate/toggle logic here. Split the inhibitor retrieval
helper in two so we can use the backend half in the command to retrieve
inhibitors for a specific surface and not just the currently focused
one. Extend the manual page with documentation of the command and
references to its per-seat sibling and usefulness with criteria.

This allows e.g. triggering one command while a key is held, then
triggering another to undo the change performed by it afterwards. One
use case for this is triggering push-to-talk functionality for VoIP
tools without granting them full access to all input events.
Fixes#3151
Before the default was "smart". This means a visible app could steal focus
whenever it wanted to. This can be an issue since having focus allows for
e.g. clipboard access.
This commit changes the default to "urgent" instead.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5139
Adding support for the keyboard shortcuts inhibit protocol allows remote
desktop and virtualisation software to receive all keyboard input in
order to pass it through to their clients so users can fully interact
the their remote/virtual session. The software usually provides its own
key combination to release its "grab" to all keyboard input. The
inhibitor can be deactivated by the user by removing focus from the
surface using another input device such as the pointer.
Use support for the procotol in wlroots to add support to sway. Extend
the input manager with handlers for inhibitor creation and destruction
and appropriate bookkeeping. Attach the inhibitors to the seats they
apply to to avoid having to search the list of all currently existing
inhibitors on every keystroke and passing the inhibitor manager around.
Add a helper function to retrieve the inhibitor applying to the
currently focused surface of a seat, if one exists.
Extend bindsym with a flag for bindings that should be processed even if
an inhibitor is active. Conversely this disables all normal shortcuts if
an inhibitor is found for the currently focused surface in
keyboard::handle_key_event() since they don't have that flag set. Use
above helper function to determine if an inhibitor exists for the
surface that would eventually receive input.

This correct the description of the commmand:
workspace [--no-auto-back-and-forth] [number] <[num:]name>
Previously, the number and num pieces were being confused. This also
documents the behavior of the --no-auto-back-and-forth flag.
This can be used as a workaround to flag terminal windows as urgent when
commands are completed, until urgency is introduced in the Wayland
protocol.
Configure your shell to run `swaymsg "[pid=$PPID] urgent enable"` when
commands are completed, and use a terminal which uses one process per
window.
