9b76ee8e90 Updated README to clarify branch roles
This change effectively reverts DWL to the prior development model, where development of DWL itself happens against the current wlroots release, and changes in anticipation of the next wlroots release are made on a separate branch.

ca4123072d add support for the data control protocol
Enables the protocol documented at
https://wayland.app/protocols/ext-data-control-v1

It is the upstreamed version of the old wlr_data_control.

It is used e.g. by mpv to read and write the clipboard.

# dwl - dwm for Wayland
2025-08-16:
dwl IS CURRENTLY UN-MAINTAINED.
AT THE PRESENT TIME, I (@fauxmight) DO NOT HAVE
THE TIME OR CAPACITY TO KEEP UP WITH [wlroots] CHANGES.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING ON LEAD DEVELOPER RESPONSIBILITIES,

### Development branch [main]
Active development progresses on the `main` branch. The `main` branch is built
against a late (and often changing) git commit of wlroots. While the adventurous
are welcome to use `main`, it is a rocky road. Using `main` requires that the
user be willing to chase git commits of wlroots. Testing development pull
requests may involve merging unmerged pull requests in [wlroots]' git repository
and/or git commits of wayland.

depend on functionality that is not in the current release of `wlroots`.
### Preview branch [wlroots-next]
The `wlroots-next` branch is built against the git version of [wlroots], which
is unstable and changes frequently. PRs requiring functionality from the git
version of `wlroots` should target this branch.
### Building dwl
