As of now `gtk4-layer-shell` is unavailable on recent, stable releases of many distros (Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04, openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed, etc.) and outdated on many others (Nixpkgs 24.11/unstable, Fedora 41, etc.) This is inconvenient for our users and severely limits where the quick terminal can be used. As a result we then build gtk4-layer-shell ourselves by default unless `--system` or `-fsys=gtk4-layer-shell` are specified. This also allows me to add an idiomatic Zig API on top of the library and avoiding adding even more raw C code in the GTK apprt. Since we now build gtk4-layer-shell it should be theoretically available on all Linux systems we target. As such, the `-Dgtk-layer-shell` build option has been removed. This is somewhat of an experimental change as I don't know if gtk4-layer-shell works perfectly across all distros, and we can always add the option back if need be.
