A bugfix release for the weston 1.6 series.  This cherrypicks a number
of safe fixes and user documentation improvements from the 1.7 tree.

This stabilizes the recently integrated libinput and updates us to its
latest API.  Since this library has proven itself by now, we're making
it a hard requirement and removed the old wayland-specific input system
it replaces.  Stabilization work this cycle includes fixes to crashes
that occur in various corner cases such as during shutdown, when no
keyboard is present or if it's not focused, and addressing cursor issues
during drag and drop.  Several odd behaviors associated with use of
keybindings are sorted out.

Other fixes include solving a potential mode switching quirk, improving
client shadow rendering, making XWindow apps draw properly when
fullscreened, fixing a crash with xwm when running the game Flare, and 
some other minor fixups.  The help text for wayland also received a fair
bit of attention to make it look nicer and provide more accurate
information.
