[Buildroot] [RFC PATCH/next 0/2] Add Cage and wlroots packages

Hello,

This is a RFC patch series which adds the Cage Wayland compositor, and the
wlroots library which is a dependency.

I find Cage well suited for kiosks and in general "single-application,
fullscreen" use cases. I find it particularly suitable to use in combination
with Cog (the WPE WebKit launcher), for many cases in which a full-fledged
compositor like Weston is not really needed.  A typical example is generating
a small image to run a single Web application from a Raspberry Pi right after
bootup.

I am considering adding one additional patch which enables installation of
a systemd unit for Cage, if there is interest in that.

Cheers,
—Adrián
