Wayland on macOS PowerPC

[barracuda156]

I am getting this to a somewhat usable shape.

Wayland terminal emulator (foot), wayland image viewer (swayimg), basic support for EGL via Mesa.

Gonna push updates to PPCPorts tonight, please try and let me know if it works for you.

I have to say that I'm very behind the times on the Wayland/X11 difference and background. The extent of my understanding is related to BSD/Linux, and the notion that while X11 does work Wayland has been unavailable on PPC. If we have some progress in Wayland applications on MacOS does that imply that Wayland could be a useable display server for PPC Linux?

I would expect Wayland to be usable out-of-the-box on Linux (some end-user apps may have broken colors because developers never bothered to write correct code, but Wayland as such should be fine).
This is more of “Wayland is not supported on macOS” rather than anything powerpc-specific.
