the default hasn't been changed since 2009
this can improve our test performances
nixos/tests: remove explicit memorySize <1024
1024MiB is now the default
Since the update to wlroots 0.13 (e03dde82a7) the default VGA card
isn't supported anymore and we needed to switch to virtio (qxl didn't
work either). However, as it turned out "-vga virtio" (28b8cff301)
broke the test on AArch64. Luckily there's a third option that works on
all three supported platforms: virtio-gpu-pci
According to [0] "This device lacks VGA compatibility mode but is
otherwise identical to the virtio vga device. UEFI firmware can handle
this, and if your guests has drivers too you can use this instead of
virtio-vga. This will reduce the attack surface (no complex VGA
emulation support) and reduce the memory footprint by 8 MB (no pci
memory bar for VGA compatibility). This device can be placed in a PCI
Express slot."
So in the end this seems like the ideal choice :)

This test is important to confirm that $WAYLAND_DISPLAY is correctly
imported via "dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd" which is
done by default since #122605 (00e8e5b123).
It ensures that the gnome3-pinentry pop-ups work as expected to avoid
regressions like #119445 (which also broke screen sharing).
This adds a basic test for Sway. Because Sway is an important part of
the Wayland ecosystem, is stable, and has few dependencies this test
should also be suitable for testing core packages it depends on (e.g.
wayland, wayland-protocols, wlroots, xwayland, mesa, libglvnd, libdrm,
and soon libseat).
The test is modeled after the suggested way of using Sway, i.e. logging
in via a virtual console (tty1) and copying the configuration from
/etc/sway/config (we replace Mod4 (the GNU/Tux key - you've replaced
that evil logo, right? :D) with Mod1 (Alt key) because QEMU monitor's
sendkey command doesn't support the former).
The shell aliases are used to make the sendkey log output shorter.
