Giovanni Harting b25c868422 fix: support native touch input on Wayland
mpv 0.40 on Wayland doesn't update mouse-pos during touch drags.
Add touch-pos property observer for reliable gesture tracking and
document the --native-touch=yes requirement.

touch-gestures.lua - tablet-friendly swipe controls for mpv.
Features:
* Horizontal swipes anywhere seek forward/backward.
* Vertical swipes on the right edge raise/lower system volume; swipes on the left edge adjust screen brightness via brightnessctl.
* Gesture axis is locked on first significant movement, preventing accidental cross-axis actions.
* Prefers PipeWire (`wpctl`) for volume, falls back to PulseAudio (`pactl`) automatically.
* Configurable gesture zones, pixels-per-step sensitivity, per-control step sizes, and optional inverted direction.
* Shows OSD feedback after each adjustment.
Requirements:
* mpv 0.39+ recommended for native touch support.
* On Wayland, run mpv with `--native-touch=yes` for reliable touch tracking.
Configuration:
Edit the `config` table below to tune zone widths, step sizes, and OSD duration; script-opts files are ignored.
