Took some fighting but I think I've managed to teach the new Alt-Tab to speak to the screen reader

Did some work on the TTY backend in niri over the past few days. Merged PR for DisplayLink dock support, added "panel orientation" property read, and, based on cosmic-comp code, implemented the necessary logic to avoid screen blanking. Finally, both at niri startup and when switching TTYs, your screen won't flicker, as long as resolution/refresh rate stay the same.
Even when the screen does blank, it'll go faster, as there's now just one modeset instead of two (clear then draw frame).

I finished and merged the horizontal drag interaction tweak from a previous post. It's very handy but can also be annoying when you want to move windows across monitors, so on mouse I restricted it to headerbar dragging (so, not Mod+LMB and not in the overview).
On touch however, it works for both headerbar dragging, and for Mod+Touch, so you can now easily scroll the view around.
I also added the thing where you can touch with another finger to switch between floating and tiling.
