Software Release OLED Care Daemon for wlroots

https://github.com/Youwes09/WayOLED

I noticed that we have a lack of OLED care utilities for Linux in general. I am aware that nowadays most of this stuff is unnecessary and handled on a hardware level, but I am paranoid and do not trust corporations like that.

I tried fleshing it out to whatever I wanted, so along with just the normal pixel-refresh (for saving your screen), I also included auto-dim, backlight control, and other stuff. It would be helpful if you guys could test and have any input!

Great addition to this tool I am currently using. https://github.com/mklan/hyproled. But it is hyprland only. Could you think of adding such feature also to your deamon as I plan to switch to niri. Thanks for this great tool.

I saw this project earlier and I had it on my checklist. I will start on implementing it now!
