Support the Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification D-Bus protocol.
Rationale:
Supporting MPRIS2 would allow one to control Clay with generic tools like playerctl and replace the current global keybindings system. This would allow us to fully drop Gtk as a dependency, simply our parsing logic and empowers headless users to globally bind keys [1].
It wouldn't add any dependencies to Clay since it uses D-Bus (already necessary for OSD) and the GLib loop (already used for GTK).
Tasks:
- Support the MPRIS2 Player protocol
- Support the MRRIS2 Mediaplayer Protocol
- Improving the ID system that Clay uses (based on #49)
- Support some extensions to the MPRIS2 protocol
- Support the MPRIS2 Playlists protocol
- Support the MPRIS2 TrackList protocol
- A separate Clay tool to allow deeper control?
