Absolute screen coordinates are impossible for Wayland clients to provide, because the clients don't know where the window is positioned. Some clients, such as the ones using GTK 3 were providing window relative coordinates even when screen coordinates were requested, while others, such as GTK 4 clients, were just returning an error for caret events or also window-relative coordinates for focus events. So for this to work on Wayland we have to request window-relative coordinates and translate them to the current focus window. To ensure the correct coordinates, we have to only consider events coming from the current focus window. All other events are filtered out now. As a side effect this also fixes the magnifier always jumping to a terminal cursor whenever there was some output, even if the window was not focused. This also needs some special handling for events coming from the shell itself, which should not be translated to the focus window either. As another side effect this fixes another bug that was caused by these events already including scaling and getting scaled again.
