The main reason why we have factory methods is that up to some point,
kwayland had its own signal to indicate when globals have to be removed.
Now that all globals add destroy listeners for the wl_display object,
we don't have that signal. Most factory methods are equivalent to doing
new T(display).
Besides adding unnecessary boilerplate code, another reason to get rid
of the factory methods is to reduce the amount of merge conflicts. If
several persons work on implementing wayland protocols at the same time,
sooner or later someone will have to resolve merge conflicts in Display.
libwayland-server allows the wl_display accept client connections on
more than one socket. We currently don't listen on multiple sockets,
but it would be nice if Display supported such operation mode.
One of the most disappointing things when writing autotests is dealing
with a race condition where destructor requests are processed after all
globals have been destroyed.
With this change, the Display object will destroy all clients and their
resources before destroying the wl_display object. The good thing about
doing so is that shut down logic becomes simple. We don't have to assume
that wl_resource objects can outlive their wl_global objects, etc. The
bad thing is that it exposed a couple of pre-existing latent bugs in the
data device and the xdg foreign code.

Summary:
So far only the client was able to simulate user activity. This new
method allows the server to also simulate user activity on all created
idle timeouts. This is required by KWin to prevent idle timeouts when
the user interacts through KDE Connect's virtual touchpad. In that
situation the mouse pointer is used without updating the input time
stamp as it doesn't come from "real" input devices and thus the idle
timeout prevention is not activated.

Summary:
This is a preparation step to support idle_inhibit_unstable_v1 protocol.
As in Plasma powermanagement, screen locking, dpms, etc. is not
controlled by the wayland compositor but by external components through
the IdleTimeout interface the compositor needs a way to inhibit the idle
timeouts. So once idle_inhibit_unstable_v1 is implemented the compositor
can hook this up to the inhibit API in IdleInterface and thus inhibit
powermanagement, etc. as requested by the idle_inhibit_unstable_v1
protocol.
The added API is straight forward:
* inhibit: inhibits idle timeouts
* uninhibit: uninhibits again
* inhibit and uninhibit must be called in pairs, so twice inhibit,
means uninhibit must be called twice
* isInhibited: whether it's inhibited
* and a signal that it changed
The signal is mostly used internally to stop the timers.

It started to fail on build.kde.org with a segfault. While I cannot
reproduce this locally it looks like client objects survive to the next
test and thus cause issues.
This change attempts to reduce the risk by making sure that everything
is cleaned up correctly. If that fixes the issue we can look into a
proper fix.
