Helper daemon for dogtail on Wayland

On X11, dogtail relies on XTest extension to generate pointer and keyboard events, but there is no equivalent on Wayland.

On GNOME on Wayland, however, there are the screen-cast and remote-desktop APIs that can be used for controlling the keyboard and pointer.

Also, Wayland does not expose global coordinates, and ATK will return local coordinates of the various application widgets on Wayland, this is where the RecordWindow method from screencast can be used, as it will translate global coordinates into surface relative coordinates.

Obviously, to be able to record or a given window, one needs a way to identify such a window, this is where the window-list API comes in.

The Introspect D-Bus API in mutter provides a way to list all toplevel windows.
