sway/wayfire: properly rotate and scale the pocket reform display

requested review from @josch

This change essentially enforces this rotation and scaling for all devices with a display matching DSI-1. Would it not be smarter to let the reform-setup-wizard, if it detects that it's running on the Pocket, drop a snippet doing this transformation into ~/.config/sway/config.d as it already does for the keyboard configuration?

I expected this objection, but there's currently no other device that has a DSI-1 display. I would like to implement the smarter version later, as I would like to minimize adding more moving parts at the moment.

The problem I outlined would only occur if somebody with a system image created with this version of reform-tools migrates to another system in the future which also has a DSI-1 display. So you could argue that this situation is unlikely enough to ignore it.

Would you like me to make a new reform-tools release with this change and the changes in !65 (merged) now or do you want to collect more changes first?

i probably want to include at least one more fix, which is that the battery status icon shows up wrong sometimes

Maybe just push the commit of this MR plus the fix to the battery status icon to the staging branch so that all changes are in a single branch that can be built by reform-debian-packages.

ok so i just figured it out, it's nothing from with reform-tools per se, we are just missing the package fonts-font-awesome which includes the icons. should i add this as a dependency or recommends somehow? or can you help me with that?

Since it is reform-tools shipping the sway configuration including the battery icon, it should be added to its Recommends.

And then it should also be added to reform-system-image to make sure it gets installed.

Do you want to do that or should I?
