[RFC libwayland] Track protocol object versions inside wl_proxy.

It's worth noting that there is one small backwards-compatability issue
here.  Namely, if the client is built against protocol stubs from an
earlier version of libwayland but links against a library built against a
newer version, then all objects created by the client will report a version
of 1.  This is because the old api uses wl_proxy_marshal_constructor in
wl_registry_bind so all objects will inherit the protocol version of
wl_display which is 1.  The library the client linked against is aware of
the wl_proxy_version function but has no way of knowing that the library
does not.

One possible solution for this is to set the version of wl_display to zero
and use zero to mean "unversioned".  Then, if a library wants to use
something that's not strictly backwards-compatable, it can check for zero
and use whatever it's non-versioned fallback is.

That said, I'm open to other suggestions.
