[PATCH 2/2] window: Only release the widget grab when all buttons are released

This copies the algorithm for keeping track of an implicit grab widget
when a button is pressed from Wayland. Instead of just tracking a
single button, Wayland keeps a count of all the mouse buttons that are
down and only releases the grab when all buttons are released. Without
this it could lose button release events if a second button is pressed
and held while the original grab button is held because the grab would
be lost when the grab button is released. Then the release for the
second mouse button would go nowhere.

The code makes sure to only release the grab if it there is a grab
button so that it won't release grabs initiated from window_show_menu.
