This PR allows nemo-desktop to display desktop icons on wayland compositors that support the layer-shell protocol. It adds an optional dependency on gtk-layer-shell, which supports wlroots-based compositors such as sway, wayfire etc. If the dependency is found, then nemo will run natively on wayland.
I have been using it on wayfire and it works well.
The change is very simple and should be easy to maintain even if Wayland is not yet officially supported.
