Bug 260760: graphics/wayland: update package description
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D260760



--- Description ---
"wayland" the package (upstream often calls it "libwayland") mainly provide=
s C
implementation for client (libwayland-client.so) and server
(libwayland-server.so) side as well as glue generator (wayland-scanner) for
extensions. With official FreeBSD support users can now report bugs directl=
y to
upstream. So, populate pkg-descr via upstream README.md and COMMENT via Git=
Lab
project one-line summary.

https://wayland-book.com/libwayland.html
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/apb.html

Also, the intro line in pkg-descr is dated/contentious. GNOME/Wayland is not
supported at all (bug 258042) and KDE/Wayland is unstable (fixed but broke
again), so after ~3 years wlroots (sway, hikari, wayfire, cage, river, labw=
c,
kwinft) remains the best supported on FreeBSD.
