[PATCH weston] text-input: Clear out context->input pointer

If we destroy the text_input (e.g. due to surface deactivation) whilst
the IM manager (the client holding the input_method_context resource,
usually weston-keyboard) sends an event, we can hit a segfault in
text-backend. This is because we free the text_input structure, but
don't actually clear the context->input structure even when we send the
deactivate event.
This is clearly intended to be catered for, since context->input is
always checked for NULL before we relay any events.
This is enough to fix one cause of text-test failing, but it's
ultimately error-prone until we have a no-op test-shell; there is still
a race where weston-desktop-shell can launch weston-keyboard before
text-test manages to bind zwp_text_input_manager.
