This is to allow for compositors that want to be more implicit about
how their scene is organized. Such a compositor may want to walk up
at a certain scene node to find something such as a surface to focus on.
Goals:
- Extensibility: we need to be able to add new params to the calls
to render a texture/rect. For instance we'll need to add fences to
the render texture operation for explicit sync purposes.
- No implicit state: no more bind_buffer, begin, end.
- No matrices: these hurt Pixman and we don't need them.
- Clip regions for optimized damage repainting.

Add a src_box state field. Use the SRC_* KMS props in the DRM
backend, reject the layers in the Wayland backend (for now, we can
support it later via viewporter).
This allows callers to set a destination size different from the
buffer size to scale them.
The DRM backend supports this. The Wayland backend doesn't yet
(we'd need to wire up viewporter).
- Simplifies the backends
- Avoids having two ways to do the same thing: previously one could
disable a layer by either omitting it from wlr_output_state.layers,
or by passing a NULL buffer
- We can change our mind in the future: we can allow users to omit
some layers and define a meaning without breaking the API.

We've had this struct for a while. It'd be useful for compositors
if they want to manage the swap chains themselves instead of being
forced to use wlr_output's. Some compositors might also want to use
a swapchain without an output.
This is based on previous work [1] [2].
This new API allows compositors to display buffers without needing to
perform rendering operations. This API can be implemented on Wayland
using subsurfaces and on DRM using KMS planes.
Compared to [1], this approach leverages wlr_addon_set to let backends
attach their own private state to layers, removes the pending
state (necessary for interop with wlr_output_commit_state()) and
enum wlr_output_layer_state_field.

This is needed for compositors that want to reserve space for
XWayland panels. Such a feature can be useful in a "transitional"
setup, where only the X11 window manager and compositor is replaced
but other components of an X11 desktop environment are still used.
This change simply reads the X11 property; the compositor is free
to ignore it. Thus, compositors that don't want to support such a
"transitional" feature are not impacted.
