This allows callers to set a destination size different from the
buffer size to scale them.
The DRM backend supports this. The Wayland backend doesn't yet
(we'd need to wire up viewporter).
Up until now, wlr_backend_autocreate() created the wlr_session and
then stuffed it into struct wlr_multi_backend so that compositors
can grab it later.
This is an abuse of wlr_multi_backend and the wlr_backend API:
wlr_backend_get_session() and wlr_multi_backend.session only exist
to accomodate the needs of wlr_backend_autocreate(). What's more,
the DRM and libinput backends don't implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_session.
Instead, return the struct wlr_session to the compositor in the
wlr_backend_autocreate() call. wlr_backend_get_session() will be
removed in the next commit.
Now that the DRM backend no longer depends on GBM, we can make it
optional. The GLES2 renderer still depends on it because of our EGL
device selection.
This is useful for compositors with their own renderers, and for
compositors using the Vulkan renderer.
With protocol additions such as [1], compositors currently have no
way to opt out of the version upgrade. The protocol upgrade will
always be backwards-compatible but may require new compositor
features.
The status quo doesn't make it possible to ship a protocol addition
without breaking the wlroots API. This will be an issue for API
stabilization [2].
To address this, let compositors provide a maximum version in the
function creating the global. We need to support all previous versions
of the interface anyways because of older clients.
This mechanism works the same way as Wayland clients passing a version
in wl_global.bind.

The current ARGB2101010 has really "corase" control over the alpha.
Particularily, examples/layer-shell would look really strange with certain
parameters. For examples, when passing an alpha of 0.84, the box would not
appear transparent at all anymore.
Patched as suggested by @mstoeckl -- thank you!
Add RECT nodes to the scene-graph demo to illustrate how they are used.
Here, we add a solid rectangle behind each surface as a quick-and-dirty
border, handling surface.commit in order to size it appropriately.
