Since the update to wlroots 0.13 (e03dde82a7) the default VGA card
isn't supported anymore and we needed to switch to virtio (qxl didn't
work either). However, as it turned out "-vga virtio" (28b8cff301)
broke the test on AArch64. Luckily there's a third option that works on
all three supported platforms: virtio-gpu-pci
According to [0] "This device lacks VGA compatibility mode but is
otherwise identical to the virtio vga device. UEFI firmware can handle
this, and if your guests has drivers too you can use this instead of
virtio-vga. This will reduce the attack surface (no complex VGA
emulation support) and reduce the memory footprint by 8 MB (no pci
memory bar for VGA compatibility). This device can be placed in a PCI
Express slot."
So in the end this seems like the ideal choice :)

The tests timeout on AArch64 (e.g. [0] and [1]), likely because the QEMU
option "-vga virtio" isn't supported there (unfortunately I currently
lack access to an AArch64 system with NixOS to investigate).
This also affects the test for Cage but that one is already limited to
x86_64-linux.

This adds a basic test for Sway. Because Sway is an important part of
the Wayland ecosystem, is stable, and has few dependencies this test
should also be suitable for testing core packages it depends on (e.g.
wayland, wayland-protocols, wlroots, xwayland, mesa, libglvnd, libdrm,
and soon libseat).
The test is modeled after the suggested way of using Sway, i.e. logging
in via a virtual console (tty1) and copying the configuration from
/etc/sway/config (we replace Mod4 (the GNU/Tux key - you've replaced
that evil logo, right? :D) with Mod1 (Alt key) because QEMU monitor's
sendkey command doesn't support the former).
The shell aliases are used to make the sendkey log output shorter.

See #119615 for more details. The aarch64-linux test failed with
"qemu-system-aarch64: Virtio VGA not available" so I've restricted the
test to x86_64-linux (the virtio paravirtualized 3D graphics driver is
likely only available on very few platforms).
Upstream repositories do no longer exists. There has been no release in
a while. - Not a good combination for a network daemon running as root
in C that parses network packets...
