[PATCH wayland v5] client: extend error handling

From: Marek Chalupa <mchqwerty at gmail.com>

When an error occurs, wl_display_get_error() does not
provide any way of getting know if it was a local error or if it was
an error event, respectively what object caused the error and what
the error was.

This patch introduces a new function wl_display_get_protocol_error()
which will return error code, interface and id of the object that
generated the error.
wl_display_get_error() will work the same way as before.

wl_display_get_protocol_error() DOES NOT indicate that a non-protocol
error happened. It returns valid information only in that case that
(protocol) error occurred, so it should be used after calling
wl_display_get_error() with positive result.

[Pekka Paalanen] Applied another hunk of Bryce's comments to docs,
	added libtool version bump.
