The compositor needs the text-input-v3 server protocol to expose the new manager global and translate requests to input-method-v1. Generate the v3 protocol sources and link them into the compositor. Signed-off-by: huyuliang <abjfh@aliyun.com>
Native Wayland clients such as JetBrains Runtime use text-input-v3, but WSLg currently exposes only input-method-v1 through its existing input method integration. These clients therefore cannot use the configured input method through the native Wayland backend. Expose the v3 manager and translate double-buffered client state to input-method-v1. Translate preedit, commit, and surrounding-text updates back to v3 while preserving focus, serial, and inert resource semantics. Signed-off-by: huyuliang <abjfh@aliyun.com>
Run the text backend in the desktop test shell and provide a small input-method-v1 helper so the v3 bridge can be exercised end to end. Cover state translation, stale serial delivery, enable double buffering, cached result cleanup, competing text inputs, focus loss, seat teardown, and inactive input-method context requests. Use a keyboard event as an ordering barrier between the two Wayland clients. Signed-off-by: huyuliang <abjfh@aliyun.com>

Summary
Motivation
Native Wayland clients such as JetBrains Runtime use text-input-v3, but
WSLg currently exposes only input-method-v1 through its existing input
method integration. The bridge allows these clients to use the configured
input method without falling back to XWayland.
