Description
This fixes issue #1086 and #875 (at least partly).
It is based on the linked ags issue in 1086. Yes it is a bad workaround with does require unsafe, pulling in gdk-sys and using a deprecated function from it but really without it eww is basically not usable on wayland with any kind of dynamic monitor setup (common when using laptops).
Usage
Allows using monitor plug names under wayland like that:
Additional Notes
Even that it uses unsafe, deprecated functions and gdk-sys I really think this is worth adding since as far I have researched this topic they is no other way of improving wayland monitor support other then rewriting to gtk4 with I suspect doesn't happen soon.
Tested it on niri windows manager and works fine.
