Consume events in a thread to prevent Wayland's event buffer from
overflowing Waylands internal buffer and closing the connection.
From a users perspective this seemed like a crash.
Details:
- This is a workaround for a known bug in Wayland [0].
Threaded event handling has been if-defed so it can be removed when
it's no longer needed.
- GTK & QT use threaded event handling to avoid this problem
(SDL on the other hand doesn't).
- The complexity and number of locks needed to handle events in a
separate thread is a significant down-side, but as far as I can see
this is necessary.
- Re-connecting to the Wayland server is possible but not practical as
the OpenGL context is lost and as far as I can tell it's not possible
to keep it active (see: D16492).
