[ANNOUNCE] libei 1.2.0

[Peter Hutterer]

libei 1.2.0 is now available.

libei is a library to send Emulated Input (EI) to a matching Emulated Input
Server (EIS) which can receive those events with libeis, also part of this
project.

libei uses GitLab releases, for tarballs please see:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libei/-/releases/1.2.0

Notable fixes in this release include better handling of various protocol
errors and less log spam:
- if the write buffer is full, outgoing messages are now cached
  instead of returning EAGAIN.
- if a message send fails, stop trying to send more messages
  which will do nothing but spam the log with more errors
- if we get disconnected by the server, stop trying to send things to the
  server (and spam the log on error)
- use EINTR checks instead of blocking SIGALRM
- keep a cache of defunct objects to avoid spamming the log when there
  are in-flight messages arriving after destroy

No change in the API
