[PATCH wayland 0/3] "enum" and "bitfield" attributes for protocol XML files

As per last April/May's "enum" attribute discussion, these patches
introduce two new attributes to the protocol XML files.
The "enum" attribute is given to <arg>uments of type (u)int, and
indicates which <enum> should be used for that argument.
The "bitfield" attribute can be given to <enum>s, and, if set to "true",
indicates that the enum is to be thought of as a bitmask-style value.

Although arguments can only refer to enums in specific cases (see the
scanner.c changes), this new protocol data should not break the C bindings.
It is thinkable that other bindings *do* use the data in a way that breaks
the protocol; however such usage will be considered nonstandard.

Auke Booij (3):
  protocol: introduce the enum argument type
  scanner: enforce correct argument type for enums
  doc: document new enum attributes and use such data in generated docs
