    composite: Fix use-after-free of the COW
    
    ZDI-CAN-19866/CVE-2023-1393
    
    If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW),
    we would leave a dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen
    structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.
    
    Make sure to clear the CompScreen pointer to the COW when the latter gets
    destroyed explicitly by the client.
    
    This vulnerability was discovered by:
    Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
