This changes the semantics of wlr_output_state. Instead of having
fields with uninitialized memory when missing from the committed
bitflag, all fields are always initialized (and maybe NULL/empty),
just like we do in wlr_surface_state. This reduces the chances of
footguns when reading a field, and removes the need to check for
the committed bitfield everywhere.
A new wlr_output_state_init() function takes care of initializing
the Pixman region.
Up until now, wlr_backend_autocreate() created the wlr_session and
then stuffed it into struct wlr_multi_backend so that compositors
can grab it later.
This is an abuse of wlr_multi_backend and the wlr_backend API:
wlr_backend_get_session() and wlr_multi_backend.session only exist
to accomodate the needs of wlr_backend_autocreate(). What's more,
the DRM and libinput backends don't implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_session.
Instead, return the struct wlr_session to the compositor in the
wlr_backend_autocreate() call. wlr_backend_get_session() will be
removed in the next commit.
With protocol additions such as [1], compositors currently have no
way to opt out of the version upgrade. The protocol upgrade will
always be backwards-compatible but may require new compositor
features.
The status quo doesn't make it possible to ship a protocol addition
without breaking the wlroots API. This will be an issue for API
stabilization [2].
To address this, let compositors provide a maximum version in the
function creating the global. We need to support all previous versions
of the interface anyways because of older clients.
This mechanism works the same way as Wayland clients passing a version
in wl_global.bind.

Add RECT nodes to the scene-graph demo to illustrate how they are used.
Here, we add a solid rectangle behind each surface as a quick-and-dirty
border, handling surface.commit in order to size it appropriately.
