Add feature available/implemented errors

This adds two new error codes: GLFW_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE for when a GLFW feature cannot be reasonably implemented on that platform, and GLFW_FEATURE_UNIMPLEMENTED for when it can be but has not been yet. This replaces the current situation where the Wayland code emitted GLFW_PLATFORM_ERROR in both cases while the macOS code silently did nothing. If your application exits on any GLFW error, these error codes should at least be easy to filter out from that behavior. Ideally, GLFW_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE should be rare and GLFW_FEATURE_UNIMPLEMENTED should never be emitted at all. Fixes #1692.
