river 0.2.0

This release brings many new features and improvements, as well as a few
small breaking changes since river 0.1. Many thanks to everyone who
contributed and happy New Year!

New features:

Touch input is supported for clients that accept touch input. No
pointer emulation is implemented yet.
ext-session-lock-v1 is supported. This is a more robust protocol for
screenlocking that I developed earlier this year. See this blog
post for more information.
ext-idle-notify-v1 is supported. This replaces the KDE idle
protocol, support for which has been removed.
riverctl focus-output and riverctl send-to-output may target an
output by name.
riverctl map has a new -layout flag which may be used to map keys
independent of the currently active keyboard layout.
riverctl keyboard-layout allows setting the keyboard layout and xkb
options at runtime.
riverctl map-switch allows running a command when e.g. a laptop
lid is closed.
riverctl map-pointer may run arbitrary commands.
riverctl focus-follows-cursor has a new always mode.
riverctl set-cursor-warp has a new on-focus-change mode.
The cursor may be (automatically) hidden with the new
riverctl hide-cursor command.
Keyboard groups are now supported with the new
riverctl keyboard-group-create and related commands.
wlr-output-management-unstable-v1 version 4 is now implemented,
which means that adaptive sync or VRR may be enabled using a suitable
client.
wp-single-pixel-buffer-v1 is supported.
The river-status-unstable-v1 protocol has been extended to expose
the current mode and layout name to clients such as status bars.
The river-layout-v3 protocol has been extended to expose the
currently active tags when a command is sent to the layout generator
client.

Breaking changes compared to 0.1:

Input device names are now prefixed with the device type 422cd3e.
The riverctl spawn-tagmask command applies globally 39104ae.
Support for the input-inhibit protocol has been removed 78a46c3.
Lock screens should now use ext-session-lock-v1
Support for the org_kde_kwin_idle protocol has been removed
6ac3928. The ext-idle-notify-v1 protocol should be used instead.

Packaging changes:

wlroots 0.16 is required as a build dependency instead of 0.15.
