This is based on previous work [1] [2].
This new API allows compositors to display buffers without needing to
perform rendering operations. This API can be implemented on Wayland
using subsurfaces and on DRM using KMS planes.
Compared to [1], this approach leverages wlr_addon_set to let backends
attach their own private state to layers, removes the pending
state (necessary for interop with wlr_output_commit_state()) and
enum wlr_output_layer_state_field.

This is needed for compositors that want to reserve space for
XWayland panels. Such a feature can be useful in a "transitional"
setup, where only the X11 window manager and compositor is replaced
but other components of an X11 desktop environment are still used.
This change simply reads the X11 property; the compositor is free
to ignore it. Thus, compositors that don't want to support such a
"transitional" feature are not impacted.
v2: Update xwayland_surface_associate()
Instead of destroying all seats, destroy a single one. We only need
to destroy all seats at one call-site (backend_destroy), but we'll
need to destroy a single seat elsewhere in the next commit.
wlr_xcursor_get_resize_name() returns cursor-spec [1] based names
but the default cursor icons shipped in include/xcursor/cursor_data.h
use traditional X cursor names instead.
Compositors that use wlr_xcursor_get_resize_name() to resolve an edge
to a cursor icon name may thus be unable to render appropriate cursor
icons for users that don't have a cursor-spec compliant cursor theme
installed on their system or have it installed in an unusual place.
This patch adds cursor-spec cursor icon name aliases.

Since 1d581656c7 ("backend/drm: set "max bpc" to the max") we
set the "max bpc" property to the maximum value. The kernel driver
is supposed to clamp this value depending on hardware capabilities.
All kernel drivers lower the value depending on the GPU capabilities.
However, none of the drivers lower the value depending on the DP-MST
link capabilities. Thus, enabling a 4k@60Hz mode can fail on some
DP-MST setups due to the "max bpc" property.
Additionally, it's not a good idea to unconditionally set "max bpc"
to the max. A high bpc consumes more lanes and more clock speed,
which means higher power consumption and the busy lanes cannot be
used for something else (e.g. other data transfers on a USB-C cable).
For now, let's tie the "max bpc" to the pixel format of the buffer.
Introduce a heuristic to make "high bit-depth buffer" a synonym of
"I want the best quality".
This is not perfect: a "max bpc" higher than 8 might be desirable
for pixel formats with a color depth of 8 bits, for instance when
the color management KMS properties are used. But we don't really
support that yet, so let's leave this for later.

The invalid_destroy and invalid_unlock protocol errors aren't currently
sent by wlroots and instead left up to the compositor. However, we can
handle these as well without much additional complexity.
This also adds a missing wl_resource_destroy() call if the lock is inert
in lock_handle_unlock_and_destroy().
We only need it for one thing: gamma size. Moreover, some bits in
the drmModeCrtc will become out-of-date, for instance the current
mode, so let's avoid caching the whole struct and only keep what
we know won't change.
Instead of having a pending_fb field on the struct wlr_drm_plane,
move it to struct wlr_drm_connector_state. That way, there's no
risk having a stale pending FB around: the state doesn't survive
across tests and commits.
The cursor is a special case because it's disconnected from the
atomic state: the wlr_backend_impl.set_cursor hook sets the cursor
for the next commit. Move the field to
wlr_drm_connector.cursor_pending_fb.
We'll move the pending primary FB into the connector state in the
next commit, dropping wlr_drm_plane.pending_fb in the process.
Introduce a dedicated field for the cursor, which has to be managed
in a special way due to our set_cursor API.
