[PULL/RFC] compositor-x11 destructors v1

[Pekka Paalanen]

Hi,

here is the majority of the compositor cleanups I did for
compositor-x11. They depend on the patch "server: add
wl_input_device_fini()" to the Wayland core.

Most of it is trivial, but destroying global objects (input device,
maybe outputs) have their caveats. The main thing still not destroyed
after this patch set are the wl_client structures for clients that
exist at the time the compositor shuts down. I tried to destroy all
clients within wl_display_destroy(), but that does not work together
with destroying the global objects at backend shutdown time. The
client structures will hold references to objects the backend has
destroyed, so destroying the client hits use-after-free.

I guess solving that properly requires a proper implementation of
global object destructors, that not only announces the globals going
away to the clients, but also takes care of the corresponding
wl_resource objects, and the possible races between sending a destroy
event and a client processing it.

If you want, you can drop the compositor-x11 patches for now, they are
the ones that (are supposed to) destroy globals. In my tests, they did
not cause any harm, though, as we do not destroy the remaining
wl_clients.

Do you have a plan on how to handle removing global objects dynamically,
e.g. an input device?
