classicui: expose candidate actions in X11 and Wayland

[JohnXu22786]

Summary

Expose the generic candidate actions provided by ActionableCandidateList from the Classic UI candidate window.

Both Classic UI backends now support right-clicking a candidate and choosing one of its actions:

• X11 uses the existing Menu/XCBMenu infrastructure.
• Wayland renders and handles the action menu inside the existing input popup surface, so it works with the current input-method popup protocol.

The UI invokes triggerAction() with the originating candidate and action id; no Pinyin-specific operation is hard-coded.

Behavior

• A menu is shown only when the clicked candidate has at least one non-separator action.
• Separators, checkable state, and checked state are preserved where the backend can represent them.
• Temporary menu state is cleared when the input panel updates or the menu is dismissed.
• Existing left-click, wheel, touch, keyboard, and paging behavior remains unchanged when the menu is not active.
• The Wayland menu is sized and positioned within the popup surface, expanding the surface only when needed.

Closes #1663.

Testing

• cmake --build build-x11 -j2
• ctest --test-dir build-x11 --output-on-failure (50/50 passed)
• cmake --build build-wayland -j2
• ctest --test-dir build-wayland --output-on-failure (50/50 passed)
• clang-format --dry-run --Werror src/ui/classic/xcbinputwindow.cpp src/ui/classic/xcbinputwindow.h src/ui/classic/waylandinputwindow.cpp src/ui/classic/waylandinputwindow.h
• git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added right-click menus for candidate actions in the input panel.
  • Menus support toggles, separators, hover states, scrolling, and themed rendering.
  • Menu placement and sizing adapt to the input panel and display.
• Bug Fixes
  • Candidates with no actionable options no longer open an empty menu.
  • Existing left-click behavior for selecting candidates remains unchanged.
• Usability
  • Menus dismiss and refresh correctly when input or candidate content changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The classic XCB and Wayland input windows now support candidate action menus. Right-click opens validated candidate actions, while hover, rendering, activation, cleanup, and panel restoration manage the menu lifecycle.

Changes

Candidate action menu support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Menu state and rendering contracts src/ui/classic/xcbinputwindow.h, src/ui/classic/waylandinputwindow.h	The classes declare candidate-menu methods and store menu, action, layout, geometry, hover, visibility, and panel-size state.
Candidate menu construction and display src/ui/classic/xcbinputwindow.cpp, src/ui/classic/waylandinputwindow.cpp	The windows validate candidate actions, build menu entries, calculate geometry, register XCB actions, and display menus.
Menu interaction, rendering, and lifecycle src/ui/classic/xcbinputwindow.cpp, src/ui/classic/waylandinputwindow.cpp	Right-click, hover, touch, leave, scroll, repaint, update, and click handling render, dismiss, restore, and trigger candidate menu actions.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Impact reflects medium issue severity.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ecc15

This change adds candidate action menus for Classic UI on X11 and Wayland while retaining existing interactions when menus are inactive. No concrete current-head merge-blocking risk remains.

I don't want to add it if it can only work on X11.

I think maybe it worth to thing if we could do something novel to support wayland

[wengxt]

I mean.. isn't it looks too werid like this?

[eagleoflqj]

Here is how it looks on macOS

[wengxt]

@eagleoflqj I know, but there's some technical issue on wayland to do it properly like a popup menu on wayland. Basically input panel surface can't (right now) be attached with a xdg_popup. I'm thinking if we could avoid use popup but invent some "novel" way to display it.

[JohnXu22786]

👌🏻I'll look further into this issue.
