Migrate from Travis CI to GitHub Actions The old Travis CI .org service has been throttled for a while now and is said to be shutting down completely next week. This migrates the Travis CI build jobs to GitHub Actions, with minor changes. - The trailing whitespace detection has been removed for now. - The libegl1-mesa-dev dependency for Wayland has been removed as it appears to no longer be necessary for building. (cherry picked from commit 5a6001a83be1c788e7795d891b6a9dd5931e460e)

GLFW is an Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan
application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for
creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.

Wayland: Fix crash if mouse connected after init The cursor theme was only loaded if the chosen seat had a mouse (wl_pointer) during initialization. If a mouse was connected only after glfwInit, there would be no cursor theme but the rest of the cursor related code assumed one had already been loaded. This also moves the details of cursor theme loading out into a separate function to declutter platform init. Because the original cursor theme loading code checked whether we got a wl_shm, and because the rest of the code just assumes we have a wl_shm, initialization will now fail if there isn't one. Fixes #1450 (cherry picked from commit 71be34a6c30825aef502b652c86cc31fdcbb5457)

- [Wayland] Bugfix: Connecting a mouse after `glfwInit` would segfault (#1450)
Wayland: Fix window opacity on older systems On systems lacking the EGL_EXT_present_opaque extension, some compositors treat any buffer with an alpha channel as per-pixel transparent. This commit ignores any EGLConfig with an alpha channel if the extension is missing and the window is created with GLFW_TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER set to false. This is technically not a breaking change since GLFW_ALPHA_BITS is not a hard constraint, but it is still going to inconvenience anyone using the framebuffer alpa channel to store other kinds of data.
