[PATCH 2/2] proto, server: Add internal server error message.

From: Christopher James Halse Rogers <christopher.halse.rogers at canonical.com>

Many languages such as C++ or Rust have an unwinding error-reporting
mechanism. Code in these languages can (and must!) wrap request handling
callbacks in unwind guards to avoid undefined behaviour.

As a consequence such code will detect internal server errors, but have
no way to communicate such failures to the client.

This adds a WL_DISPLAY_ERROR_INTERNAL error to wl_display so that
such code can notify (and disconnect) client which hit internal bugs.
