A "please suspend" event from the compositor, to indicate to an application
that it's no longer visible/active.  Or maybe discard buffer, as in "wayland
discarded your buffer, it's no longer visible, you can stop updating it now.",
reattach, as in "oh hey, I'm about to show your buffer that I threw away, what
was it again?".  for wayland system compositor vt switcing, for example, to be
able to throw away the surfaces in the session we're switching away from.  for
minimized windows that we don't want live thumb nails for. etc.
