Testing that it works

NOTE: AS OF 12/2/2023, THE TEST APPLICATION IS BROKEN ON STEAM LINK, this is due to a bug in Steam Link itself and that is unrelated to eye tracking. The eye tracking is working in other applications however.

You can now test the functionality of your eye trackers with the 'OpenXR Eye Trackers Test Application' from 'Start Menu'.
