Issue description

This follows issue #1633

ibus in sway will only work for xwayland applications.
When trying to execute ibus-wayland, I get

$ /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-wayland
No input_method global

According to this answer, it's because ibus implemented the wayland protocol input-method-unstable-v1 in 5136dbc .
Sway's wlroots will not support unstable-v1, but is currently in the process of supporting v2 in swaywm/sway#4740

Is it possible to support wayland input-method-unstable-v2 in ibus-wayland as well ?
