[PATCH wayland 1/2] protocol: Add error enum to wl_registry

As an oversight, wl_registry did not define any errors. At least error 0
is already being sent by libwayland-server although it is - strictly
speaking - undefined.

Define error 0 to be an invalid global which is also a sort of catch-all
error code. Errors 1 (invalid version) and 2 (incompatible version) can
provide further insight into the reason the bind failed and might be
useful for test-suites.
