This commit significantly restructures the Wayland backend initialization and context sharing to completely eliminate the usage of unsafe `NonNull` pointers (`NonNull<Wm>`, `NonNull<WaylandState>`, `NonNull<GlesRenderer>`) that previously formed a circular dependency between `Wm` and `WaylandState`. Key changes: - `WaylandState` now natively owns the core `Wm` instance, effectively serving as the root event-loop object. - Removed the `WaylandBackend` wrapper struct entirely. `BackendRef` now just flags that Wayland is active. - `BackendOps` implementations for `WaylandBackend` have been replaced by an event queue: `WmCtx` functions (like `resize_client`, `raise`, etc.) now push a `BackendEvent` to `Globals.backend_events` when on Wayland. - Added `process_backend_events` to `WaylandState` which is invoked at the end of each frame tick in the `calloop` event loop to enact these ops. - Wrapped `GlesRenderer` in `Rc<RefCell>` and removed the unsafe `renderer: Option<NonNull<GlesRenderer>>` field, keeping the EGL and DMABUF import handlers safe. - Adjusted inputs, context wiring, and `focus_wayland` handlers to fetch state natively from `Wm` via the `BackendEvent` architecture.

The codebase contained several
NonNullpointer usages forming a circular ownership cycle betweenWm,WaylandBackend, andWaylandState.WaylandBackendstored anOption<NonNull<WaylandState>>, andWaylandStateheld anOption<NonNull<Wm>>, creating unsafe borrowing scenarios that could trigger undefined behavior. Additionally,WaylandStateheld a raw pointer toGlesRenderer.This PR eliminates the unsafe wrappers by:
WaylandStatethe root object that ownsWmin the Wayland startup paths (startup/drm/mod.rsandstartup/wayland.rs).WaylandBackenddummy struct.BackendEventqueue directly insideGlobals.WmCtxmethods now safely queue their requests (e.g.,MapWindow,SetFocus), which are drained at the end of each tick byprocess_backend_events.GlesRendererin anRc<RefCell>safely managed byWaylandState.All internal tests build correctly and safely.
