Content type protocol

This is just an idea, not sure it's a good one yet.

Add a protocol to allow clients to specify the content type of their surface. Example possible content types: none, picture, video, game.

Use-cases:

  • Automatically set the HDMI "content type" property. This is used by screens to decide whether to apply filters to "improve" the content.
  • Synchronize the cursor with the game updates (required for VRR)
