Add a flag to pixman-renderer for initializing the output with a shadow
framebuffer. All backends were getting the shadow implcitly, so all
backends are modified to ask for the shadow explicitly.
Using a shadow buffer is usually beneficial, because read-modify-write
cycles (blending) into a scanout-capable buffer may be very slow. The
scanout framebuffer may also have reduced color depth, making blending
and read-back produce inferior results.
In some use cases though the shadow buffer might be just an extra copy
hurting more than it helps. Whether it helps or hurts depends on the
platform and the workload. Therefore let the backends control whether
pixman-renderer uses a shadow buffer for an output or not.

Pixman-renderer uses a single internal shadow buffer. It is enough to
composite the current damage into shadow, but the copy to hw buffer
needs to include the previous damage because of double-buffering in
DRM-backend.
This patch lets pixman-renderer do exactly that without compositing also
the previous damage on DRM-renderer.
Arguably weston_output should not have field previous_damage to begin
with, because it implies double-buffering, which e.g. EGL does not
guarantee. It would be better for each backend explicitly always provide
any extra damage that should be copied to hw.

[Pekka: rebased]
config.h includes were missing in a few files, including input.c, the
lack of which caused the X11 backend to segfault instantly due to not
having an xkbcommon context.

This renderer could be used when there's no graphic accelerator available,
for example in (future) KMS and fbdev backends.

weston-launch starts weston and provides mechanism
for weston to set/drop drm master, open a tty,
and read input devices without being root.
Execution is allowed for local-active sessions
or users in the group weston-launch.
This rename addresses a few problems around the split between core
Wayland and the wayland-demos repository.
1) Initially, we had one big repository with protocol code, sample
compositor and sample clients. We split that repository to make it
possible to implement the protocol without pulling in the sample/demo
code. At this point, the compositor is more than just a "demo" and
wayland-demos doesn't send the right message. The sample compositor
is a useful, self-contained project in it's own right, and we want to
move away from the "demos" label.
2) Another problem is that the wayland-demos compositor is often
called "the wayland compsitor", but it's really just one possible
compositor. Existing X11 compositors are expected to add Wayland
support and then gradually phase out/modularize the X11 support, for
example. Conversely, it's hard to talk about the wayland-demos
compositor specifically as opposed to, eg, the wayland protocol or a
wayland compositor in general.
We are also renaming the repo to weston, and the compositor
subdirectory to src/, to emphasize that the main "output" is the
compositor.
Besides the new header file, there's also a change in the main evdev creation
procedure for a more suggestive name (evdev_input_add_devices ->
evdev_input_create). There's no real functional changes in this commit.
