mrv2 v1.1.5

[ggarra13]

This is a critical update for Windows, Linux and macOS users.

It was re-released on May 6, 16:20 PM Argentina time.

It is a bug fix release for the regressions in v1.1.4 and early versions of v1.1.5 which were rushed:

Added a FAQ on the documentation about Linux XWayland and Wayland on
why it could make playback slow if your OS was not configured properly.
This is the first version that supports Wayland and XWayland.
For instructions on how to set XWayland and Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
with NVidia drivers, please see Help->Documentation the FAQ section.
Fixed annotations not showing when Blit Viewports was on.
Fixed hiding of pixel bar sometimes failing even when:
Playback->Auto Hide Pixel Bar
and:
Playback->Auto Playback was on.
Fixed not hiding of the pixel bar when the image was open from the
recent menus or from the command-line.
Fixed color buffers not taking full advantage of OpenGL improvements on
Windows mainly.
Fixed incorrect positioning and resizing of the images on loading
which would crash Wayland.
mrv2 can now be built with the pre-installed python, without having to
build python itself. Of course, in that case, mrv2 cannot be re-distributed.
Tested on Linux and macOS only for now.
Added a python translating system for plug-ins.
Translated all update-mrv2.py strings into Spanish.
If using blit for the viewports, automatically switches to shaders if
Background is transparent and image has transparency, as glBlitFrameBuffers
does not support alpha blending.
Panel->Settings->Default Settings now warns the user about it and asks
for confirmation.
Moved Panel->Settings->Default Hotkeys to Window->Hotkeys.
Added Window->Preferences->Default to reset the user preferences to their
default.
Cleaned up source code of passing ui pointer to several classes, using
App::ui instead.
Removed .po python plug-in files from package distribution.
Improved missing_translate.py script and added searching for plug-in
translations too.
Removed unused FLU XPM icons from the code, as most have been replaced by
.svg icons.
Fixed Edit Viewport Clip Info and Device Info not respecting the device
pixel ratio when the Edit button was pressed.
Fixed macOS crashes with preview thumbnail.
Fixed timeline redraw issues.
Respect last configuration of Timeline/ClipInfo and Timeline/TrackInfo.
