VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors

Description:
wayvnc is a VNC server primarily for wlroots-based Wayland compositors. It
attaches to a running Wayland session, creates virtual input devices, and
exposes a single display via the RFB protocol.
The Wayland session may be a headless one, so it is also possible to run
wayvnc without a physical display attached.

I'm a bit torn about the description. Upstream explicitly points out that it's
for wlroots-based compositors only, but it does work beautifully with niri.

thoughts? ok?
