Add Alvin library: input, capture, windows and vision

A cross-platform C++23 library with a platform-neutral public API and
runtime-selected backends:

- Input: Wayland virtual pointer/keyboard (Hyprland, wlroots), libei via
  the RemoteDesktop portal (GNOME, KDE), uinput, and Win32 SendInput
- Capture: ScreenCast portal + PipeWire, and Win32 GDI
- Windows: Hyprland IPC and Win32 enumeration
- Monitors via wl_output/xdg-output and EnumDisplayMonitors
- Optional OpenCV template matching (alvin::vision)

Also adds the `alvin` CLI, Catch2 unit tests, install rules with
find_package(Alvin) support, API docs (docs/API.md and the Obsidian
vault), and README instructions for both ways of consuming the library.

Windows backends are written but not yet compiled.
