[ANNOUNCE] wayland 1.8.0

This is the official announcement for Wayland 1.8.

Wayland 1.8 splits the client and server header files into core and
generated protocol.  The core headers can be included as
wayland-client-core.h and wayland-server-core.h.  The scanner also now
supports a --include-core-only option, which causes generated code to
use only these core headers.  This makes life a bit easier for language
bindings and other libwayland users that generate their own protocol
code from newer wayland.xml files.
