ci: Reduce build matrix size#292
Conversation
wlroots as a subproject now yields the xwayland meson option to its parent. We need to match the type for this to work. This also adds support for auto mode, where xwayland is used if present but no warning is given otherwise.

I don't understand why it is an issue to test multiple compilers with CI. It seems on the contrary a good test to do. |

Minor rant about test strategies: Adding anything possible is not a good test strategy, and more tests are not itself better than fewer as they are a liability and add noise (the more indicators, the less each one means), test time (either per run or in scheduling and full test completion), and maintenance (minor here, but still a factor) that should be justified. Focus should be on adding tests that are expected to add value and cover new areas or known problem areas. Testing clang vs. gcc tells us very little. It does not test for distro or OS build environment compatibility, as each OS and distro use different compiler versions, library versions and configurations. With that in mind it just seemed like noise to me. |

Significantly reduce the build matrix size for simpler results and less build scheduling latency. Drops multi-compiler tests.
Based on the 0.17 update branch because of a minor conflict it will create.
