Implements unified application identification mechanism across all platforms:

Changes

  • Added aui::app_info::app_id field to AppInfo
  • Updated aui_app() CMake macro to auto-generate app_id from VENDOR+NAME
  • X11: Use app_id for WM_CLASS (res_class=full_id, res_name=basename)
  • Windows: Use app_id.replace('.', '_') + random_suffix for WNDCLASS
  • GTK: Pass app_id to gtk_application_new() for Wayland/X11 support
  • All platforms now have consistent application identification

Benefits

✅ Unified window identification across different desktop environments
✅ Proper app-id on Wayland (instead of generic 'GTK Application')
✅ Consistent WM_CLASS on X11
✅ Custom app_id support via aui_app() CMake macro
✅ Graceful fallback if aui_app() not used

Testing

  • All 46 examples compile successfully
  • No compilation errors or warnings (except pre-existing C++20 deprecation warnings)
  • Ready for testing on X11, Wayland, and Windows environments

Code Review

This pull request introduces a global app_id to the aui::app_info namespace, integrating it into window initialization across Linux and Windows platforms for consistent application identification. Feedback indicates that the aui_app CMake macro requires updates to correctly parse custom IDs and implement the described auto-generation logic. Additionally, the reviewer recommended using unique filenames for generated build files to prevent collisions, synchronizing the default app_id value with its documentation, and removing an unused parameter from the gtkSetWindowClassHint function.
