Add the screensaver interface to the desktop-shell protocol file. Also
add stubs for it in the compositor, and make wscreensaver to bind to the
screensaver interface. Wscreensaver gets a new option --demo to retain
the current behaviour as a regular wayland client.
When a screensaver application starts, it should bind to the screensaver
interface, enumerate all outputs, create a surface per output, and
register those surfaces via screensaver::set_surface request. Then it
continues with the usual animation loop, waiting for frame events. The
compositor will decide, when the given screensaver surfaces are
displayed. A screensaver application should respond to outputs coming
and going away by creating and destroying surfaces.
The compositor is supposed to activate a screensaver by exec'ing it, and
stop the screensaver by killing the client process. Only one client may
be bound to the screensaver interface at a time. If there already is a
client, the compositor could either kill it first, or not exec a new
one.

Eventually we will want more functionality in the shared library and we
will rename it at that point. Perhaps we'll name it libnih, but for now
let's stick with libconfig-parser.
Create a new directory for convenience librariers that can be shared
between compositor components and clients.

This is an example of how to animate window resizing. The size is
animated by a simple physics model that allows the user to cancel the
animation halfway and still look good.
