xdg_shell: Adding a new shell protocol.
xdg_shell is a protocol aimed to substitute wl_shell in the long term, but will not be part of the wayland core protocol. It starts as a non-stable API, aimed to be used as a development place at first, and once features are defined as required by several desktop shells, we can finally make it stable. It provides mainly two new interfaces: xdg_surface and xdg_popup. The xdg_surface interface implements a desktop-style window, that can be moved, resized, maximized, etc. It provides a request for creating child/parent relationship, called xdg_surface.set_transient_for. The xdg_popup interface implements a desktop-style popup/menu. A xdg_popup is always transient for another surface, and also has implicit grab.
