WSL2 Support

[mwlock]

Hey!

I am just wondering what the current of status is for running webots on WSL2?

The R2023a release notes mention

Added support for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and macOS.

Although I am still having some trouble running on WSL where the simulation simply does not run once started (see the video)

There are no error messages report in the terminal

It is simply not yet supported. Why do you need to run Webots from WSL2? Why can you run it from Windows?

There's not an absolute need, but WSL is becoming increasingly convenient for me to quickly switch between different Linux environments 😄 I have Webots 2022a working just fine on WSL Ubuntu 22.04 and thought it would be nice to try Webots 2023a.

Can I ask what the releases are referring to then?

I can run Webots in WSL2 built from the master branch of this repository. However, there are still some glitches, like I cannot close the guided tour window for some reason. But overall it works. If you want to investigate and fix these small glitches, you are welcome.

I have built the master branch and it seems to be working! 😄
