There were a couple of problems with this:
1. The behavior is unexpected. Typically objects in wlroots won't
also destroy objects that they depend on. For instance, wlr_scene_output
will not destroy the wlr_output when it's destroyed. It shouldn't be any
different for scene layouts.
2. This fixes a crash where because wlr_output_layout and wlr_scene_output
are both addons to wlr_output, we might get into a situation where
wl_list_for_each_safe might malfunction. See [1]
This means that the compositor needs to manually destroy the output
when they destroy the layout, hence ~breaking. Compositors can just
call `wlr_scene_output_destroy()` if they want to destroy both at the
same time.

This commit ensures that outputs that weren't created by the output
layout helper aren't destroyed on the output layout change.
Consider the following piece of logic:
// struct wlr_output *o1, *o2;
// struct wlr_scene *scene;
// struct wlr_output_layout *layout;
wlr_scene_attach_output_layout(scene, layout);
wlr_output_layout_add_auto(layout, o1);
struct wlr_scene_output *so2 = wlr_scene_output_create(scene, o2);
wlr_output_layout_move(layout, o1, 100, 200);
// so2 is invalid now
