convert std::cout and std::cerr to std::println()

[Toni500github]

Describe your PR, what does it fix/add?

follow up from #8034
std::print() is easier to use and read, it also has better performance and reduces boilerplate code https://vitaut.net/posts/2023/print-in-cpp23/

Is there anything you want to mention? (unchecked code, possible bugs, found problems, breaking compatibility, etc.)

So I have almost converted every instance of std::cout, I only left some for example where hyprpm prints the warning message when adding a plugin and there were too many Colors, so I left those for the sake of readability.

I have added hyprpm/src/helpers/StringUtils.hpp which is useful to replace the boilerplate such as

std::cout << Colors::BLUE << "[v] " << Colors::RESET << "version returned: " << HLVERCALL << "\n";

with

std::println("{}", verboseString("version returned: {}", HLVERCALL));

Is it ready for merging, or does it need work?

Yeah, hope I didn't do too much or some things must be in a separeted MR. This took me the whole day. Did some tests and seems good so far

is the indetion good? 1st: current, 2nd: my MR

also if you could split those into 3 commits:

• hyprland
• hyprpm
• hyprctl

then I could just rebase it on main.

Sorry wdym?
Like re-creating these 5 commits in 3 and separated by categories?

Squash all commits into one, then split that one commit into three, each changing only one component (hyprland, hyprctl, hyprpm)

so it's

• hyprland: convert std::cout and std::cerr to std::println
• hyprpm: convert std::cout and std::cerr to std::println
• hyprctl: convert std::cout and std::cerr to std::println

btw bump VERSION to 0.44.1

no

[Toni500github]

let me know if there is anything else I missed or should changes, so I can rebase into 3 commits again

[Toni500github]

also fixed some status printing generally

[vaxerski]

lgtm thanks!

[vaxerski]

can you squash those again so that there are only 3 commits :P

[Toni500github]

yeah ofc, was just waiting for approval
