[Video] ILM support for waylandsink query

[Eugen Friedrich]

Hello Nicolas,

the ilm api is implemented for the ivi (in vehicle infotainment)
window management and allow to control applications surfaces outside
from the compositor, it is realized by the ivi-shell in weston. with
ivi-shell  every  weston surface have to have an id assigned to it
(very simple ivi-application protocol is defined for this) and the ilm
control api can use the id to reference the surface.

@Vikas so in general I will not use the ilm Client api's in the
middleware components, by just using the ivi-application wayland
protocol we can decide dynamically if the protocol is available and
register the id if not do something else: e.g. xdg surface setup.
The ivi controller (hmi master, hmi application controller or however
it is called) should still use the ilm controller api's to control the
composition.
