Upgrade to SDL3

[midwan]

Now that SDL3 is released, it should be tested to see how well things work with it.
The migration guide is here: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/docs/README-migration.md

SDL3 releases: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases

This should be done in a separate, test branch. I suspect it will take quite a while before everything is migrated properly and we will need time for testing things.

Check if all supported platforms have SDL3 available.

Man, that's quite the API change ~ having moved this box to debian testing (trixie), I see libsdl3-0 (-dev) are available targets, so that probably infers adoption in debian next at a guess...

...just ftr, there's enough different between bookworm and trixie, that I use a different box for testing amiberry against debian bookworm, so once you spin-up a separate branch, it's easy enough for me to test things ;)

Current state of play ... https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=libsdl3

I tested a build with sdl2-compat and got an assert in a mutex. Seems a work in progress worth to be checked again later.

Well, this issue is about moving the code to use SDL3 directly, not through a compatibility layer. It's a long-term project, since it will take a while to do so, and we'll probably have to keep SDL2 around for a while longer as well (at least until SDL3 is available everywhere, not sure if it's in the older distros).

What version of sdl2-compat? If it's the same issue I ran into it was fixed in the newest versions of sdl2-compat and SDL3 see libsdl-org/sdl2-compat#264

However, this does go to show, that taking some time before adopting SDL3 might be beneficial.

Please don't do that. Stay on SDL2. We don't need SDL3 on Raspberry Pi. This will break all compatibly with old system...

This issue is a placeholder for the future.

Just tapping out time ~ SDL3_image (-dev) has made it's way into debian trixie repo now, so wrt debian, we're just waiting for SDL3_ttf to roll down from sid ... I'll likely chirp again when that is so ;)
