Swayed to Wayland instead of Xorg

Unlike #intel-gfx efforts to make Xorg unstable & tear, there is no "wayland" driver. The compositors themselves implement the communication with libdrm, buffer management and rendering.

Sway went 1.0 released last week https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.0

Unfortunately it doesn't have sane defaults, you need to copy a config over from /etc .... suckless fail.

There is a patched version of Firefox for it natively run on Wayland. I need to think about leaving my beloved suckless tools.
