New package: ydotool-0.2.0

[noarchwastaken]

It seems like the package uses CPM in its CMake config for statically linking libevdevPlus and libuInputPlus, both are versioned newer than the existing ones in Void, with breaking changes. There's another dependency called IODash which doesn't exist in Void yet.

Is it OK to simply use CPM? Or should we update the first two and add the last one into Void, then build with those? Pinging @steinex for opinions.

We already have #25341, but it's an older version and apparently have some unfixed problems... So I wish this is a friendly takeover of that PR.

closes #31163

Updating libevdevPlus and libuInputPlus is fine, there are no packages in the repo currently which depend on these. I guess I added them back in the day to package ydotool and then left Wayland, so feel free.

The problem is that both of them became static libraries now... I don't see a point to package them anymore.

I'll leave it to the team to decide if it's fine to use CPM. If they agree, I'm fine with removing libevdevPlus / libuInputPlus altogether. 👍

I fixed the musl build problem, and this package is ready for review!

Note that it statically links against dependencies with CPM. It looks like we accept this for other languages like Rust and Go (static linking against external packages), so I guess it's fine here...

CPM shouldn't be allowed to pull in dependencies. You need to manually download the tarball or package the dependency.
