This patch introduces a new protocol for grabbing the keyboard from
Xwayland.
This is needed for X11 applications that map an override redirect window
(ths not focused by the window manager) and issue an active grab on the
keyboard to capture all keyboard events.

+ <description summary="Protocol for grabbing the keyboard from Xwayland">
+ This protocol specifies a way for Xwayland to request all keyboard
+ events to be forwarded to a surface even when the surface does not
+ have keyboard focus.
+
+ Unlike the X11 protocol, Wayland doesn't have the notion of
+ active grab on the keyboard.
+
+ When an X11 client acquires an active grab on the keyboard, all
+ key events are reported only to the grabbing X11 client.
+ When running in Xwayland, X11 applications may acquire an active
+ grab but that cannot be translated to the Wayland compositor who
+ may set the input focus to some other surface, thus breaking the
+ X11 client assumption that all key events are reported.
+
+ When an X11 client requests a keyboard grab, the Wayland compositor
+ may either inform or ask the user for the right to forward all key
+ events to the given client surface.
+
+ Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
+ backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible
+ changes may be added together with the corresponding interface
+ version bump.
+ Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version
+ number in the protocol and interface names and resetting the
+ interface version. Once the protocol is to be declared stable,
+ the 'z' prefix and the version number in the protocol and
+ interface names are removed and the interface version number is
+ reset.

+ The grab_keyboard request can be used by the client to ask for a

+
+ The protocol provides no guarantee that the grab is ever satisfied,
+ and does not require the compositor to send an error if the grab
+ cannot ever be satisfied. It is thus possible to request a keyboard
+ grab that will never be effective.
