wlr_keyboard manages the xkb-common state of the compositor.
It used to update the state, update the modifiers, then notify the
compositor.
When [Shift_L] was pressed and released, this resulted in an event chain:
Modifiers: Shift
Key: Shift_L (Pressed)
Modifiers:
Key: Shift_L (Release)
The xkb-docs state that the state should be updated *after* the key was
handled [1], to prevent the new state from influencing the actual key
generated.
To achieve this, the event to the compositor is emitted, *before*
wlroots handles the xkb and internal keyboard state.
With this patch applied, the emitted events ill be:
Modifiers:
Key: Shift_L (Pressed)
Modifiers: Shift
Key: Shift_L (Release)

When e.g. running rootston under X11 it would otherwise crash when
closing rootston like:

since the output_destroy got already removed in handle_output_destroy.
When the X11 server sends an expose event, that means that "this
rectangle here (the event contains x,y,width,height) has undefined
contents on your window; please redraw that". This means that we need a
swap. However, so far the code does not actually enforce that a swap
happens.
For example, start rootston, switch to another workspace and then switch
back. The rootston window will not be redrawn (before commit
52b058c2a3, it would just be fully white; after that commit it will
show whatever was visible on the old workspace). This is because the
drawing code concludes that nothing needs to be done. However, in fact a
swap is necessary.
This reverts commit e79d924588, because its optimisation is already
done now: wlr_output_update_needs_swap() emits a signal, which is
handled by wlr_output_damage with a call to wlr_output_schedule_frame().
This function does nothing if a frame is already pending. Thus, the
optimisation from commit e79d924588 now happens implicitly.

When resizing rootston with the mouse, the result is really slow. One
can see that rootston needs quite a while for drawing the newly visible
area. This is because every single expose event is handled on its own
and causes (apparently) a full repaint or at least a swap.
This commit improves things by only causing a new frame if none is
pending already.
With this change, there is almost no delay in rootston drawing the newly
visible area.

Before this commit, the x11 server would fill any exposed area with
white before the wlroots x11 backend got a chance to do anything. This
was e.g. visible when running rootston and resizing the window: When the
window becomes larger, the new area is filled with black.
By just not setting a back pixel value, this commit gets rid of this
behaviour.

handle_x11_event() and x11_handle_input_event() react to different kinds
of events, so it does not make much of a difference if
x11_handle_input_event() signals if it handled an event or not.
