### Overview

Running niri crashes because of missing libEGL.so.1 library

### Steps to Reproduce:

2.- Setup graphics driver 
    https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/#x-graphic-card-drivers
3.- Setup Wayland
    https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland/
4.- pkg install wayland seatd dbus
    Setup seatd and dbus services
5.- pkg install niri
6.- Run  dbus-run-session niri --session

### Expected Results:

Niri to run

### Build & Hardware:

    Build: niri 25.11
    OS: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor
    GPU: Radeon PRO WX 3200
    MEM: 64GB

### Additional Builds and Platforms:

    Build: niri 25.11
    OS: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7567U CPU @ 3.50GHz
    GPU: Iris Plus Graphics 650
    MEM: 32GB

### Additional Information: 

The library libEGL.so.1 is provided by libglvnd, installing xwayland-satellite
resolves the error, as libglvnd is installed with xwayland-satellite,
xwayland-satellite is needed by niri to provided X11 support  and is
autostarted as of niri 25.08
https://niri-wm.github.io/niri/Integrating-niri.html#xwayland 
Setting xwayland-satellite as a dependency would be recommended.

Thanks everyone for your time and dedication
