RGFW v1.6.0

[ColleagueRiley]

This release has been focused on ensuring feature parity with GLFW, reviewing included features, and fixing bugs.

breaking changes:

• Replace RGFW_window_setBufferPtr and RGFW_setBufferSize with RGFW_window_initBuffer, RGFW_window_initBufferSize and RGFW_window_initBufferPtr
  Also forces the user to run RGFW_window_initBuffer to allocate a buffer
• add vector for raw mouse data (so point can be used to get the regular mouse point)
• RGFW_setGLHint and RGFW_glHints enum
• change RGFW_window_fullscreen to RGFW_window_setFullscreen
• make RGFW_window_setFullscreen use exclusive fullscreen
• limit directX support to RGFW_window_createDXSwapChain, most of it should/can be handled by the user
• do not close the window until the (library) user closes it
• add RGFW_monitorMode, move monitor.rect to mode.area and x, y to monitor
• RGFW stalls on RGFW_quit

major changes:

• RGFW_monitorMode, allows gives the user more control the monitor's mode (size, refreshRate, RGB)
• lots of bug fixes
• more windowing functions and checking functions (floating, focus, aspectRatio, etc)
• RGFW_glHints and more OpenGL hint options (RGB, depth, robustness, release behavior, etc)
• more examples

all changes:
fixes:

• fix wasm key event bug (key release events not being processed)
• fix xDND data restarts bug
• rewrite writeclipboard, ensure the selection is properly being handled and the clipboard is properly being saved after the window is closed
• review winapi window_setIcon (fixes HICON persistance issue)
• make sure RGFW_mousePosCallback is called even for raw input events (winapi)
• handle WM_SYSKEYDOWN and WM_SYSKEYUP events (winapi)
• skip x11 mouse button events if the mouse button > 5
• framework CoreVideo is needed to get the monitor's refresh rate (macOS)
• move WM_PAINT to WndProc callback
• ensure setFlag won't cause bugs when it's used to create a window
• update Vulkan example (fix crashes with certain drivers, have triangle follow mouse)
• ensure UTF8 support (winapi)
• make RGFW_window_setFullscreen use exclusive fullscreen

• add RGFW_window_borderless, RGFW_window_allowsDND and RGFW_window_mouseHidden for checking for args
• add flags example
• fix RGFW_window_setMaxSize / RGFW_window_setMinSize winapi, use SetPropA GetPropA to get the window in WndProc
• make RGFW_window_isMaximized actually maximize the window width the API
• fix RGFW_window_setBorder not working after window creation (X11)
• fix window flag bugs (macOS)

• add RGFW_COCOA_GRAPHICS_SWITCHING option
• add RGFW_setGLRGBA, RGFW_setGLAccumRGBA RGFW_setGLSRGB, RGFW_setGLRobustness, RGFW_setGLDebug, RGFW_setGLNoError
• add RGFW_setGLReleaseBehavior and RGFW_glRelease enum
• new opengl hint options:
  RGFW_glRed, RGFW_glGreen, RGFW_glBlue, RGFW_glAlpha
  RGFW_glDepth,
  RGFW_glAccumRed, RGFW_glAccumGreen, RGFW_glAccumBlue, RGFW_glAccumAlpha
  RGFW_glSRGB
  RGFW_glRobustness
  RGFW_glDebug
  RGFW_glNoError
  RGFW_glReleaseBehavior
• add RGFW_scrollLock keycode and RGFW_modScrollLock mod key
• add RGFW_monitorModeCompare
• Add refreshRate to RGFW_monitor
• allow seticon to be undone
• add RGFW_window_setIconEx (allows you to set titleBar icon, window icon or both)
• add mode.red, mode.green, mode.blue
• add smooth-resize example
• Replace RGFW_window_setBufferPtr and RGFW_setBufferSize with RGFW_window_initBuffer, RGFW_window_initBufferSize and RGFW_window_initBufferPtr
  Also forces the user to run RGFW_window_initBuffer to allocate a buffer
• add vector for raw mouse data (so point can be used to get the regular mouse point)
• RGFW_setGLHint and RGFW_glHints enum
• add RGFW_monitorMode, move monitor.rect to mode.area and x, y to monitor

miscellaneous changes:

• Get rid of RGFW_ALLOC_DROPFILES (it's not actually useful)
• Get rid of RGFW_allocator, most of the memory that needs to be allocated is optional and is allocated on init anyway.
• print errors in writeclipboard (X11)

• remove RGFW_mouseNone (fixes overflow bug, RGFW_mouseNone isn't used anyway)

• change b8/b32 to single changeable bool type RGFW_bool, add RGFW_BOOL macro for forcing an int to be bool
• add CONVENTIONS.md

• fix issues with examples compiling (macOS, wasm, X11)
• remove microui_demo on wasm site
• make the default bool type u8
• replace API calls in RGFW_window_getMousePoint with win->_lastMousePoint
• ensure monitor functions can be used prior to window creation
• change RGFW_window_fullscreen to RGFW_window_setFullscreen
