[PATCH wayland-protocols v7] unstable: add xdg-decoration protocol

This adds a new protocol to negotiate server-side rendering of window
decorations for xdg-toplevels. This allows compositors that want to draw
decorations themselves to send their preference to clients, and clients that
prefer server-side decorations to request them.
This is inspired by a protocol from KDE [1] which has been implemented in
KDE and Sway and was submitted for consideration in 2017 [2]. This patch
provides an updated protocol with those concerns taken into account.

This was iterated on privately between representatives of Sway and wlroots
(Simon Ser, Drew DeVault and Tony Crisci), KDE and Qt (David Edmundson), and
Mir (Alan Griffiths).
A proof-of-concept of a client and server implementation is available at [1].
Changes from v6 to v7:
- Move errors in xdg_toplevel_decoration
- Add errors descriptions
- Add an error when toplevel is destroyed before decoration
- State that objects created with the manager are still valid after
destroying the manager
- Compositors can no longer ignore set_mode requests, but they can
disregard the client's preference
- Describe how clients whose preference depend on the window state
should behave to prevent frames with unwanted state

+ <description summary="window decoration manager">
+ This interface allows a compositor to announce support for server-side
+ decorations.
+
+ A window decoration is a set of window controls as deemed appropriate by
+ the party managing them, such as user interface components used to move,
+ resize and change a window's state.
+
+ A client can use this protocol to request being decorated by a supporting
+ compositor.
+
+ If compositor and client do not negotiate the use of a server-side
+ decoration using this protocol, clients continue to self-decorate as they
+ see fit.
+
+ 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.
