Since there's been recent demand for it, before the weekend I wanted
to post my work on switching to COSMIC.  It's not ready yet, but I'm
happy with the shape it's taking.  It needs to be applied on top of
the draft Nixpkgs update I posted the other day, and it requires some
patches that have only just begun to make their way upstream.
(There's some sequencing required here: adding functionality to
cosmic-comp requires adding functionality to Smithay requires adding
functionality to wayland-rs.  My initial wayland-rs PR has been
merged, so now we wait for a release and then we can make the Smithay
one.)  There might be more upstream work to come as well — I'd like
Nixpkgs' libcosmicAppHook to be fixed not to clobber the XDG_DATA_DIRS
default if it's unset, and the socket ownership for cosmic-comp
(inherited from Weston) could be improved if it could be properly
socket activated, which will need further work on wayland-rs and
Smithay as well.  That requires some API design that's still
processing in the back of my mind.

Nevertheless it's ready to try out and give feedback on.  It's
intentionally bare bones — we can add more parts of COSMIC later as
required.
