[PATCH v5 xdg-shell-unstable-v6] xdg-shell: Add min/max size requests

[Olivier Fourdan]

Some application may wish to restrict their window in size, but
xdg-shell has no mechanism for the client to specify a maximum or
minimum size.

As a result, the compositor may try to maximize or fullscreen a window
while the client would not allow for the requested size.

Add new requests "set_max_size" and "set_min_size" to xdg-shell so that
the client can tell the compositor what would be its smallest/largest
acceptable size, and that the compositor can decide if maximize or
fullscreen is achievable, draw an accurate animation, etc.

---
 v2: Rename the request to "set_preferred_max_size",
     add "set_preferred_min_size" as well
 v3: Rebase above patch 72427 in branch xdg-shell-unstable-v6
     Rephrase description to clarify the unscaled size and using 0 to
     reset back the preferred size to an unspecified state
 v4: Patch the correct xml file (v6, not v5 <facepalm>)
     Fix multiple mismatch of min/max in the description
     Remove mention of "unscaled", specify window geometry coordinates
     and refer to set_window_geometry.
 v5: Fix typos and remove "preferred" from the name and description as
     requested by several people on the ML and irc.
