Implement the basic protocol for sub-surfaces:
- expose wl_subcompositor global interface
- error checking on protocol calls
- associate a parent wl_surface to a sub-surface
- introduce the sub-surface role, which is exclusive
- an implementation of the wl_subsurface interface
- allow nesting of sub-surfaces
- proper surface transformation inheritance from parent to sub-surfaces
- two different modes of wl_surface.commit for sub-surfaces
- hook sub-surfaces up to repaint by modifying the repaint list code
Struct weston_subsurface is dynamically allocated. For sub-surfaces, it
is completely populated.
For parent surfaces, weston_subsurface acts only as a link for stacking
order purposes. The wl_resource is unused, parent_destroy_listener is
not registered, the transform is not linked, etc.
Sub-surfaces are not added directly into layers for display or input.
Instead, they are hooked up via the sub-surface list present in parent
weston_surface. This way sub-surfaces are inherently linked to the
parent surface, and cannot be displayed unless the parent is mapped,
too. This also eases restacking, as only the parent will be in a layer
list. Also, only the main surface should be subject to shell actions.
The surface list rebuilding in weston_output_repaint() is modified to
process sub-surface lists, if they are non-empty. The sub-surface list
always contains the parent, too, unless empty. The collection of
frame_callback_list is moved to a later loop, to streamline the surface
list rebuild functions.
Features still lacking are:
- full-surface alpha support for compound windows
Changes in v2:
- fix a bug in surface mapping: commit a sub-surface would cause the
main surface to never be mapped.
- remove debug printfs
- detect attempt of making a surface its own parent
- always zero-alloc weston_subsurface
- apply wl_subsurface.set_position in commit, not immediately
- add weston_surface_to_subsurface()
- implement sub-surface commit modes parent-cached and independent
- implement wl_subcompositor.destroy and wl_subsurface.destroy
Changes in v3:
- rebased, and use the new transform inheritance code
- squashed the commit "add sub-surfaces to repaint list"
- fixed a buffer reference leak in commit_from_cache()
- Rewrite the sub-surface destructor code, and make it leave the
wl_subsurface protocol object inert, if one destroys the corresponding
wl_surface.
- replaced set_commit_mode with set_sync and set_desync
- allowed sub-surface nesting, and fixed repaint accordingly
- implemented nested sub-surface commit modes
- Made the sub-surface order changes from wl_subsurface.place_above and
.place_below to be applied when the parent surface state is applied,
instead of immediately. This conforms with the protocol specification
now.

Add protocol for sub-surfaces, wl_subcompositor as the global interface,
and wl_subsurface as the per-surface interface extension.
This patch is meant to be reverted, once sub-surfaces are moved into
Wayland core.
Changes in v2:
- Rewrite wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface description, and move mapping
and commit details into wl_subsurface description. Check the wording
in wl_subsurface.set_position description.
- Add wl_subsurface.set_commit_mode request, and document it, with the
commit_mode enum. Add bad_value error code for wl_subsurface.
- Moved the protocol into Weston repository so we can land it upstream
sooner for public exposure. It is to be moved into Wayland core later.
- Add destroy requests to both wl_subcompositor and wl_subsurface, and
document them. Experience has showed, that interfaces should always
have a destructor unless there is a good and future-proof reason to not
have it.
Changes in v3:
- Specify, that wl_subsurface will become inert, if the corresponding
wl_surface is destroyed, instead of requiring a certain destruction
order.
- Replaced wl_subsurface.set_commit_mode with wl_subsurface.set_sync and
wl_subsurface.set_desync. Parent-cached commit mode is now called
synchronized, and independent mode is desynchronized. Removed
commit_mode enum, and bad_value error.
- Added support for nested sub-surfaces.

Currently the core input code does surface picking before calling into
the focus callback of the current grab. Not all grabs need to pick a
surface however, so we're doing work we don't have to in those cases.
For example, the shell move and resize grabs don't need to pick and the
default grab in implicit grab mode doesn't either.
With this change, the pointer grab mechanism is now very simple:
the focus callback is called whenever the pointer may have a new focus,
the motion callback is called whenever the pointer moves and
the button callback whenever a button is pressed or released.
This was another complication that we had to have to support the
split between libwayland-server and weston. Different grabs want to send
events relative to different surfaces at different times. The default
grab switches between sending coordinates relative to the 'current' surface,
that is the surface the pointer is currently above, or the 'clicked'
surface, in case of an implicit grab.
The grab focus was set by the grab implementation and the core input code
would transform the pointer position to surface relative coordinates for the
grab focus and store in grab->x/y.
Now we can just let the grab implementation transform the pointer
coordinates itself, leaving the implementation free to transform
according to whichever surface it wants. Or not transform at all if
it doesn't need surface relative coordinates (like the shell move and resize
grabs).
The current surface field was used to track the surface the pointer was
currently over along with pointer position relative to that surface,
regardless of implicit or explicit grabs. The main purpose was to restore
the default grab when another grab terminated. We can now just repick in
that case and avoid keeping that state around, with the destroy listener
overhead that involves.
There was one other use case - we used to optimize out calls to
weston_pointer_set_focus() if the focus didn't actually change. We can
still do that, but we have to do that in the default_grab_focus() handler
and compare against weston_pointer->focus instead.
device_setup_new_drag_surface() and device_release_drag_surface() are both
now fairly small and only called from data_device_start_drag() and
data_device_end_grab() respectively. Folding the two functions in where
they're called from simplifies the code flow a bit.
struct weston_surface is now the only surface type we have (in core, shell.c
has shell_surface, of course). A lot of code gets simpler and we never
have to try to guess whether an API takes a wl_surface or a weston_surface.
We can now update the drag icon position directly from the configure
handler or the grab motion handler, and no longer need
weston_seat_update_drag_surface().
Previously we just got the drag_icon signal and had to figure out what
changed. Now we can directly setup or release the drag icon when the
drag starts and stops.
Also rename input_method_context to wl_input_method_context,
input_panel to wl_input_panel and input_panel_surface to
wl_input_panel_surface.

Add input_panel_surface::set_panel to specify input panel surfaces which
are overlaying the application and are following the input cursor.
