This commit deprecates wl_surface.damage in favor of wl_surface.damage_buffer.
Having two requests makes it complicated for the compositor to handle damage,
making it necessary to transform one into the other's coordinates.
Moreover, integration with wp_viewporter is tricky.

- and is probably the preferred and intuitive way of doing this.
