Fixes

• fix stack overflow on some systems, by @iynaix
• make sure we start the daemon even when the socket file already exists
• fix build in 32bit x86, by @Calandracas606
• fix image resize when image is larger than monitor
• fix transitions performance that had regressed from versions 0.8.*
• added SIGHUP to the list of signals we catch to exit properly
• allow swww to run on a nested wayland environment, by @Fuyukai.

Improvements

• we no longer traverse /proc to detect whether the daemon is running, we just try pinging it instead, by @Fuyukai
• many internal refactors:
  • client now sends images in the format requested by the daemon (previously we were transforming the images in the daemon itself)
  • simplified the daemon's transitions
  • using bitcode instead of rkyv for serialization
  • using rustix instead of nix for unix stuff
  • The Big One: we've eliminated our dependency on smithay-client-toolkit, now make calls directly to wayland-client. This gives us more control over our code for the price of a little extra verbosity.
