core: remove linux support

The `mach.Core` API needs major design changes, and every backend that it supports
today must be updated to account for those API design changes. Unless someone is
actively maintaining and improving the state of a given backend, it slows down our
ability to make those critical changes.

Unfortunately, the backends for X11 and Wayland today are half-baked, nobody is
actively maintaining on or contributing to them, and the Linux CI tests have been
broken for over a month as a result which harms overall stability of Mach.

As a result, this PR removes Linux support from `mach.Core`
