Wayfire 0.8.1

This is a bug-fix release with a few new features. Notable changes:

• Compatible with wlroots 0.17.x releases and wf-config 0.8.x
• Support for multiple new protocols:
  • shortcuts-inhibit-v1 (shotcuts-inhibit plugin, #1969)
  • fractional-scale-v1
  • wlr_drm_lease_v1 for non-desktop outputs
  • input-method-v1 for better fcitx5 support (#2172). Note that the older support for input-method-v2 has also been improved, but is now disabled by default, because input-method-v1 works better in most cases. Nonetheless, it can be enabled again by setting workarounds/enable_input_method_v2 = true.
• Wayfire's IPC has been extended with many new signals and commands:
  • Has methods to get view, output and workspace (and workspace-set) information
  • Signals for view-mapped, unmapped, plugin-activation-state-changed and several others.
  • More plugins can be activated via the IPC, check the full commit log for details.
• Wayfire supports SIGINT, SIGTERM for graceful shutdown (#2056, #2197)
• Oswitch has binding to switch in the other direction (#2072)
• Many crashes and bugs were fixed, including regressions in the 0.8.0 release.
