This lets the renderer handle the wlr_buffer directly, just like it
does in texture_from_buffer. This also allows the renderer to batch
the rectangle updates, and update more than the damage region if
desirable (e.g. too many rects), so can be more efficient.
This allows callers to specify the operations they'll perform on
the returned data pointer. The motivations for this are:
- The upcoming Linux MAP_NOSIGBUS flag may only be usable on
read-only mappings.
- gbm_bo_map with GBM_BO_TRANSFER_READ hurts performance.
Adds `wlr_buffer_resource_interface` and `wlr_buffer_register_resource_interface`,
which allows a user to register a way to create a wlr_buffer from a specific
wl_resource.
This function doesn't need the wl_resource anymore.
In the failure paths, wlr_buffer_unlock in surface_apply_damage
will take care of sending wl_buffer.release.
`wlr_client_buffer_import` is splitted in two distincts function:
- wlr_buffer_from_resource, which transforms a wl_resource into
a wlr_buffer
- wlr_client_buffer_create, which creates a wlr_client_buffer
from a wlr_buffer by creating a texture from it and copying its
wl_resource
Custom backends and renderers need to implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_buffer_caps and
wlr_renderer_impl.get_render_buffer_caps. They can't if enum
wlr_buffer_cap isn't made public.
This new API allows buffer implementations to know when a user is
actively accessing the buffer's underlying storage. This is
important for the upcoming client-backed wlr_buffer implementation.
Consumers call wlr_buffer_lock. Once all consumers are done with the
buffer, only the producer should have a reference to the buffer. In this
case, we can release the buffer (and let the producer re-use it).
Split out the client/resource handling out of wlr_buffer by introducing
wlr_client_buffer. Make wlr_buffer an interface so that compositors can
create their own wlr_buffers (e.g. backed by GBM, like glider [1]).

The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including

Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
This introduces -DWLR_USE_UNSTABLE and adds information regarding the
stability status to all headers. I started with a conservative set of
headers to mark as stable:
- types/wlr_matrix.h
- util/edges.h
- util/log.h
- util/region.h
- xcursor.h
