This is the first development release leading towards the 1.14 series.

## What's new in libwpe 1.13.1?

- New API to provide input events to be treated by WebKit as gamepad inputs.
- New WPE_ENABLE_XKB build option, enabled by default, which can be used to
  completely avoid usage of libxkbcommon.
- Allow libwpe to be built as a static library. The rest of the code
  linked with the static library must provide the _wpe_loader_interface
  symbol, as dlopen() will not be used.
- Allow building libwpe within a larger CMake project.
- Update the required Meson version to 0.55.0

## What is libwpe?

libwpe is the library that WPE WebKit uses to load different backend
implementation modules, which themselves provide adaptations for running
WPE WebKit on different platforms.
