This fixed adaptive sync issues with wlr_scene. Scenes don't check
if the damage region intersects with an output when calling
wlr_output_damage_add.
This is especially important for multi output.
On modeset wlr_output will internally allocate a buffer. The
backend will emit a "mode" output event, then wlr_output will
emit a "commit" event.
wlr_output_damage handles the "mode" event by damaging the whole
output, and then handles the "commit" event. However the commit
event has a buffer, so wlr_output_damage rotates the damage in its
ring buffer, thinking the compositor has rendered a frame. The
compositor hasn't rendered a frame, what wlr_output_damage sees is
the internal wlr_output black buffer used for the modeset.
Let's fix this by damaging the whole output in the "commit" event
handler if the mode has changed. Additionally, damage the whole
output after rotating the damage ring buffer.
When wlr_output.swapchain is used instead of the backend's, the
buffer_type will be set to SCANOUT even if wlr_output_attach_render
has been called. This tricks wlr_output_damage into thinking the
whole output needs to be repainted.
Workaround this issue by forcing buffer_type to RENDER when the
output has a back-buffer set.
Will clean all of that up when removing the precommit event handler
altogether.
This commit fixes damage tracking on the Wayland, X11 and headless
backends.
Instead of relying on output.pending.committed, use
wlr_output_event_commit to find out whether a buffer was committed.
Eventually output.pending will be cleared before the commit event is
emitted.

This patch disambiguates the needs_frame event by uncoupling it from
damage. A new separate damage event is emitted when the backend damages
the output (this happens e.g. VT is changed or software cursors are
used). The event specifies the damaged region.
The wlr_output.damage field is removed. wlr_output is no longer
responsible for tracking its own damage, this is wlr_output_damage's
job.
This is a breaking change, but wlr_output_damage users shouldn't need an
update.
Bugs fixed:
- Screen flashes on VT switch
- Cursor damage issues on the X11 and headless backends

The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including
> wayland-server-core.h instead, which does not include the server protocol
> header and as such only defines the library PI, excluding the deprecated API
> below.
Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
wlr_output_damage_make_current has been renamed to
wlr_output_damage_attach_render, since it's just a wrapper for
wlr_output_attach_render.
wlr_output_damage_swap_buffers has been removed completely. Instead,
wlr_output_damage now listens to successful wlr_output commits and updates its
internal state accordingly.
This updates the backend part of the output API. This is mostly renaming:
make_current becomes attach_render and swap_buffers becomes commit.
This also fixes the RDP backend to support NULL damage.
This is necessary for direct scan-out and other upcoming features. This patch
changes the output API to look like the wl_surface API.
Outputs now have some double-buffered state: the frame to be submitted
(currently only wlr_renderer frames are supported) and the damaged region.
To attach a pending frame, use wlr_output_attach_render. To set the pending
damaged region, use wlr_output_set_damage.
To submit the pending state, call wlr_output_commit. This will submit the
pending frame to the backend.
To migrate from the old API to the new one:
- Replace wlr_output_make_current calls by wlr_output_attach_render
- Replace wlr_output_swap_buffers calls by wlr_output_set_damage and
wlr_output_commit
