Release notes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.7
Notable (backward incompatible) changes:
- The default terminal changed from Alacritty to foot
Known issues:
- `swaynag` will crash when Sway 1.6.1 is still running while the Nix
package (and thus `swaynag`) is already updated to version 1.7.
- The experimental Ozone/Wayland support of Electron apps will be broken
for a while. Electron version 17 should work but the Chromium fixes
haven't yet been backported to Electron version 16.
NixOS module: programs.sway.extraPackages: The "alacritty" package was
replaced with "foot".
VM test: We switched from the OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer to Pixman. The
terminal was also changed to foot but Alacritty is still used for the
XWayland test (since foot doesn't support X11).

This seems like a good idea in general and will at least make it easier
to get screen sharing to work (but still requires a proper NixOS
configuration including xdg-desktop-portal-wlr).
Note: It isn't necessary to set XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland as wlroots
already takes care of it (currently at least for the logind and libseat
session backends, the next wlroots release will require libseat):

The default config.in template contains
"include @sysconfdir@/sway/config.d/*" but we've dropped it to better
support non-NixOS (which seems like a mistake in retrospect).
This restores that behaviour and extends the default configuration via
nixos.conf to fix#119445.
Note: The security configurations (security.d) where dropped entirely
(but maybe they'll return).
Rust 1.50.0 incorporated a Cargo change (rust-lang/cargo#8937) in
which cargo vendor erroneously changed permissions of vendored
crates. This was fixed in Rust
1.51.0 (rust-lang/cargo#9131). Unfortunately, this means that all
cargoSha256/cargoHashes produced during the Rust 1.50.0 cycle are
potentially broken.
This change updates cargoSha256/cargoHash tree-wide.
Fixes#121994.
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.

continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
This is useful for use-cases like this (logging to journald):
```
programs.sway.extraSessionCommands = ''
if [ -z "$_SWAY_DID_SYSTEMD_CAT" ]; then
export _SWAY_DID_SYSTEMD_CAT=1
exec ${config.systemd.package}/bin/systemd-cat -t sway "$0" "$@"
fi
# ... (potentially also another exec)
'';
```
Without this change the rest of the extraSessionCommands won't be
executed after the exec since the whole extraSessionCommands block would
be skipped during the re-execution (_SWAY_WRAPPER_ALREADY_EXECUTED is
already set).
