2023-07-19Deprecate seat idle_wakeSimon Ser
Sway has two knobs to control idling: - seat idle_inhibit: when the seat is active (ie. not idle), this extends the active state. When the seat is idle, this is ignored. - seat idle_wake: when the seat is idle, this wakes up the seat. When the seat is active, this is ignored. The motivation for the deprecation is two-fold: - The concept of "seat idle state" is ill-defined. Each idle-notify-v1 client will pass a different idle timeout. With the old logic, a seat was declared idle if and only if all idle-notify-v1 timeouts have expired. However, if only a portion of the timeouts have expired, then some clients would wake up, and the rest would stay active. This is inconsistent with the definition of idle_inhibit/idle_wake: idle_inhibit was used for clients which are waking up. - It never worked properly with the new idle-notify-v1 protocol and no-one noticed. Only the legacy KDE idle protocol is taken into account, but that protocol is not used anymore.

This adds seat configuration options which can be used to configure what events affect the idle behavior of sway. An example use-case is mobile devices: you would remove touch from the list of idle_wake events. This allows the phone to stay on while you're actively using it, but doesn't wake from idle on touch events while it's sleeping in your pocket.
