(Migrated from github.com)

Steps

Add your name or username and a link to your GitHub profile into the Contributors.md file.
Build the project on your machine. If it does not compile, fix the errors.
Describe the purpose and approach of your pull request below.
Submit the pull request. Thank you very much for your contribution!

Purpose

Migrating to the Meta project enables using the project in combination with other backends to develop cross-platform apps.

Approach

The PR uses the Meta package. Additionally, further changes are made to modernize the framework:

Remove child windows. Instead, you can add file dialogs to windows in a similar way you add dialogs.
You do not have to use Idle yourself. If you update state from a non-main thread, it will automatically wrap the update process with Idle.
Detect deprecated GTK/Adw functions in order not to use them

Before merging this, I will:

Replace storing state values to files by an SQLite implementation
Migrate Meta & adwaita-swift to Swift 6
