This is a new port for xwayland-satellite which is needed for xwayland
in Niri.

Niri does't have built in xwayland support to it relies on this external
implementation to run X apps. I didn't send the port earlier because
niri had a bug where it would immediately crash when running xwayland
apps but that is fixed now.
It didn't require any additional patches or custom setup tweaks.
Niri will nowadays start it automatically if the xwayland-satellite binary
is available, all we need to do is add it as a runtime dependency.
