- 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.

When a new client comes in and tries to create a
zwlr_gamma_control_v1 object for an output which already has one,
we were destroying the old object and early-returning. The early
return causes the new object to not be set up properly: it's not
inserted in the list and doesn't get the gamma_size event.
Fix this by destroying the new object, and leave the old object
intact, which is what was the intent I think.

Instead of littering #ifdefs everywhere, move them to the dedicated
attempt_XXX_backend() functions. This makes the logic in
wlr_backend_autocreate() more readable, and provides better error
messages when the X11/Wayland backends are disabled at compile-time,
or when WLR_BACKENDS contains a backend disabled at compile-time.
When we change the required dependencies for the DRM backend,
Meson might auto-disable the backend for users missing the new
requirements. This results in confused users [1] because they don't
notice the "drm-backend: NO" line burried in the Meson logs, and
then get a black screen when starting the compositor.
Update wlr_backend_autocreate() to refuse to create a backend with
only libinput (without DRM).
Users really wanting to start their compositor with a libinput
backend and without a DRM backend can manually set WLR_BACKENDS.

Replace our current logic to setup the primary swapchain with
wlr_output_configure_primary_swapchain().
- Removes some code, reducing duplication
- Stop overwriting wlr_output.swapchain with a yet-to-be-tested
swapchain: remove the error_destroy_swapchain label.
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.
X11 clients expect a ConfigureNotify after a ConfigureRequest. If
the compositor/window manager chooses not to honor the request
(e.g. due to the window being maximized), XWayland will not send a
"real" ConfigureNotify event and the window manager is expected to
send a synthetic event instead. Otherwise, the X11 client is left
waiting and may not repaint its window properly.
For comparison, see Openbox's client_configure() or Weston's
weston_wm_window_send_configure_notify().
v2: Move logic to wlr_xwayland_surface_configure()
