[PATCH] xdg_shell: Add a new shell protocol.

From: Rafael Antognolli <rafael.antognolli at intel.com>

xdg_shell is a protocol aimed to substitute wl_shell in the long term,
but will not be part of the wayland core protocol. It starts as a
non-stable API, aimed to be used as a development place at first, and
once features are defined as required by several desktop shells, we can
finally make it stable.

+	the main difference between a maximized shell surface and a

+
+	If an output parameter is given then the surface will be made
+	fullscreen on that output. If the client does not specify the
+	output then the compositor will apply its policy - usually
+	choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface
+	area.
+
+	The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict
+	between the output size and the surface size - this is provided
+	through the method parameter.
+
+	The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set
+	to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. A value of 0
+	indicates that the app does not care about framerate.  The
+	framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
+
+	A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of
+	the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of
+	the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so
+	that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can
+	fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
+
+	A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however
+	any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into
+	an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same
+	size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a
+	surface larger than the output). In this case it is allowed to
+	downscale the results to fit the screen.
+
+	The compositor must reply to this request with a configure event
+	with the dimensions for the output on which the surface will
+	be made fullscreen.
+
+	This state can be set while other surface states are still set,
+	and it won't unset them. It has precedence over maximized, and
+	the surface will be kept fullscreen until unset.
