This introduces the concept of a "dist resource" (specifically a
`GhosttyDist.Resource` type). This is a resource that may be present in
dist tarballs but not in the source tree. If the resource is present and
we're not in a Git checkout, then we use it directly instead of
generating it.
This is used for the first time in this commit for the gresource c/h
files, which depend on a variety of external tools (blueprint-compiler,
glib-compile-resources, etc.) that we do not want to require downstream
users/packagers to have and we also do not want to worry about them
having the right versions.
This also adds a check for `distcheck` to ensure our distribution
contains all the expected files.
As of now `gtk4-layer-shell` is unavailable on recent, stable releases
of many distros (Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04, openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed, etc.)
and outdated on many others (Nixpkgs 24.11/unstable, Fedora 41, etc.)
This is inconvenient for our users and severely limits where the quick
terminal can be used. As a result we then build gtk4-layer-shell ourselves
by default unless `--system` or `-fsys=gtk4-layer-shell` are specified.
This also allows me to add an idiomatic Zig API on top of the library
and avoiding adding even more raw C code in the GTK apprt.
Since we now build gtk4-layer-shell it should be theoretically available
on all Linux systems we target. As such, the `-Dgtk-layer-shell` build
option has been removed. This is somewhat of an experimental change as
I don't know if gtk4-layer-shell works perfectly across all distros, and
we can always add the option back if need be.
This is my third (!) attempt at implementing localization support. By
leveraging GTK builder to do most of the `gettext` calls, I can avoid
the whole mess about missing symbols on non-glibc platforms.
Added some documentation too for contributors and translators, just for
good measure.
Supersedes #5214, resolves the GTK half of #2357

Using `gtk4-layer-shell` still seems like the path of least resistance,
and to my delight it pretty much Just Works. Hurrah!
This implementation could do with some further polish (e.g. animations,
which can be implemented via libadwaita's animations API, and global
shortcuts), but as a MVP it works well enough.
It even supports tabs!
Fixes#4624.
`std.debug.assert(x)` _is not_ the same as `if (!x) unreachable`
because the function call is not `inline`. Since it's not inline the
Zig compiler will try to compile any code that might otherwise be
unreachable.
Also, added a CI test that compiles Ghostty in a Debian 12 container to
ensure that regressions do not happen.
