Draft: Add GDK::Context container class

Peter Leitzen requested to merge pl-gdk-context into main

What does this merge request do and why?

This commit adds GDK::Context class which should be passed to other objects as collaborator. It phases out global state like GDK.root or GDK.config.

During the transition period the use of GDK::Context.current is necessary to account for hidden dependencies in GDK::Output (via GDK::Telemetry).

Contributes to #2125.

Draft?
