Backend core objects

The backend core is the link between the Qtile objects (windows, layouts, groups etc.) and the specific backend (X11 or Wayland). This core should be largely invisible to users and, as a result, these objects do not expose many commands.

Nevertheless, both backends do contain important commands, notably set_keymap on X11 and change_vt used to change to a different TTY on Wayland.

The backend core has no access to other nodes on the command graph.
