This new option forces pretty (non-raw/non-JSON) output. By default, when
not using a tty, swaymsg outputs using the "raw" format. This makes it
impossible to, for example, pipe the pretty output to a pager such as
`less` since piping does not use a tty.
The new -p/--pretty option gives the user explicit control over the output
format while retaining the default tty-dependent behavior.

This adds the device configurations to the ipc response for libinput
devices. Only supported configuration options for the device will be
added. This also moves `libinput_send_events` inside a new `libinput`
object that contains the rest of the configuration options. sway-ipc(7)
has been updated to reflect the changes and document the new additions.
If the active xkb_layout does not have a name, use `NULL` instead of
`json_object_new_string(NULL)`. This also makes it so swaymsg will pretty
print this as `(unnamed)`.
This commit mostly duplicates the wlr_log functions, although
with a sway_* prefix. (This is very similar to PR #2009.)
However, the logging function no longer needs to be replaceable,
so sway_log_init's second argument is used to set the exit
callback for sway_abort.
wlr_log_init is still invoked in sway/main.c
This commit makes it easier to remove the wlroots dependency for
the helper programs swaymsg, swaybg, swaybar, and swaynag.
In `i3 4.16`, `i3-msg` can be used with the message type `subscribe`
and has the ability to monitor for responses until killed. This adds
support for both to swaymsg.
If the JSON array of event types is malformed or contains an invalid
event, sway will send a response with `success` set to `false`. If
swaymsg sees this, it will not display the failure and exit.
If the `subscribe` event is successful, swaymsg will wait for the first
response and display that instead of the success message. If
`-m/--monitor` is given, swaymsg will continue monitor for responses
until killed or a malformed response is received.
For the `subscribe` event, the responses will always be printed as JSON.
If `-r/--raw` is given, the JSON will not be pretty printed, which may
be preferred when monitoring due to there being multiple responses.
Example: `swaymsg -t SUBSCRIBE -m "['window']"`
When running swaymsg -v, the version returned is actually the version of
swaymsg itself, yet the message displayed was "sway version <version>".
This can create confusion if users update sway and swaymsg but don't
restart sway, then use swaymsg to check the version.
This patch changes the wording to be "swaymsg version <version>"
instead, and likewise for swaybar.
To get the version of a running sway instance, users should run swaymsg
-t get_version.
Calling `exit` in sway_terminate prevents sway from correctly shutting
down (freeing data, cleanly terminating the ipc server, etc.).
A better way is to exit straight away if the failure occurs before
`wlc_run` and use sway_abort as usual if it occur when wlc is running.
Using 'flag' results in duplicate code paths for short and long options.
This broke the -q short option in swaymsg, because there was:
{"quiet", no_argument, &quiet, 'q'}
Which will set quiet to 'q' and return 0, not 'q'.
