Allow to get whether has alpha channel of the VkImage, it can help an
optimization to disable blending when the texture doesn't have alpha.
Because the VkFormat isn't enough because it's always set to
VK_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_SRGB or VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB.
This allows compositors to indicate which features they support,
and is required to eventually make this API stable.

32daa43a45 has removed the asymmetry in
the relationship of a wlr_surface and an unmapped wlr_xwayland_surface,
when wlr_surface.role_data wasn't NULL but wlr_xwayland_surface.surface
was. However, this also means that
wlr_xwayland_surface_from_wlr_surface() now returns NULL if the
wlr_surface is unmapped. Fix the documentation to reflect this.
Before re-using a VkCommandBuffer, we need to wait for its
operations to complete. Right now we unconditionally wait for
rendering to complete in vulkan_end(), however we have plans to
fix this [1]. To fully avoid blocking, we need to handle multiple
command buffers in flight at the same time (e.g. for multi-output,
or for rendering followed by texture uploads).
Implement a pool of command buffers. When we need to render, we
pick a command buffer from the pool which has completed its
operations. If we don't find one, try to allocate a new command
buffer. If we don't have slots in the pool anymore, block like we
did before.

Up until now we were using a VkFence for GPU-to-CPU
synchronization. This has some limitations that become a blocker
when trying to have multiple command buffers in flight at once
(e.g. for multi-output). It's desirable to implement a command
buffer pool [1], but VkFence cannot be used to track command buffer
completion for individual subpasses.
Let's just switch to timeline semaphores [2], which fix this issue,
make synchronization a lot more ergonomic and are a core Vulkan 1.2
feature.

Added wlr_vk_renderer_get_* functions to allow get the VkInstance,
VkPhysicalDevice, VkDevice, queue family of a wlr_vk_renderer.
Added wlr_vk_renderer_get_current_image_attribs function to allow get
the VkImage of current renderer buffer to use on compositors.
Added wlr_renderer_is_vk function, it's like the wlr_renderer_is_gles2,
returns true if the wlr_renderer is a wlr_vk_renderer.
Added wlr_vk_image_get_attribs function to get a VkImage and it's
extras information (e.g. a VkImageLayout and VkImageFormat of the
VkImage) from a wlr_texture.
In wlroots we add comments near struct wl_list members to indicate
which type it's linked to. The Vulkan renderer had some comments
with mistakes, and some members without a comment.
We were crashing in the error codepath [1] when
wlr_drm_create_lease() fails.
To fix this, delay the creation of the wlr_drm_lease_v1 until the
request is granted. Previously we were allocating that struct early
without populating the drm_lease field. However that means we ended
up with a half-constructed struct in the error codepath which is
annoying to handle.

This field becomes stale too easily: for instance, see 6adca4089c
("backend/drm: don't unconditionally set desired_enabled").
Additionally, drm_connector_alloc_crtc() needs to do some weird
dance, restoring its previous value.
Instead, add a connector arg to realloc_crtcs() to indicate a new
connector we want to enable.
