Description
I recently started working on improving some GLFW related code for a high performant software,
and found myself changing more than I initially thought.
The idea is removing a lot of code and readding only the minimum to work on macOS, multiple windows, etc. and then re add functionality to other platforms.
It changes a lot of internal functionality, so maybe it doesn't make to the core
but here is the ongoing PR if anybody want to read / test / suggest / comment.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ongoing PR #7863, which contains the proposed GLFW redesign. Read its changes and discussion to understand the macOS, multiple-window, and other-platform scope. The issue does not define acceptance criteria; completion would require deciding whether this internal redesign belongs in openFrameworks and agreeing on its supported functionality.
