[PATCH] xdg-shell: Remove "edges" from description

I would think configure request is going to need to provide this 
information. Otherwise the compositor cannot do tabbed or tiled layouts 
were it wants a window to resize without the client requesting it.

Then again perhaps it is ok for compositor-initiated resizing to always 
produce the same anchoring effect (ie whatever the client decides to do) 
so maybe this is ok. But I'm still concerned that it may be hard for a 
client to tell when resizing it initiated stops and other resizes start, 
so that it can change how it is handling the edges. Is this already 
solved in some other way?
