[PATCH] xdg-shell: add draw states for xdg_surface

[Benoit Gschwind]

Hello Matthias,

I agree the two reply from Jonas, and Olivier.

I just add to Olivier comment, that even we tried to remove MWM hints
(i.e. they do not belong any up-to-date standards), they are still used
by up-to-date software and implemented by popular WMs. This use case
show that (1) those hints are useful and (2) they do not have noticeable
draw back.

My primary complain is that draw states should be merged with the
previously defined window/surface states, because by definition a draw
state is a state for a window, just like the state activated for example.

Best regards.
