- Drop the v0 support, it is no longer used by anything
- Adapt the text-input related methods in seat interface to include
versioning, this will be useful for when zwp_text_input_v3 support is
included in kwayland-server
- Refactor SeatInterface to get rid of globalTextInput, it is no longer
needed with the new approach
- Refactor out the ContentHints and ContentPurpose enums in separate
header file which can be shared by zwp_text_input_v2/3 implementation

In v1 to v3 of textinput protocol, updates for the text input state
needs to be updated explcitly using commit or update state request, so
send out this information to compositor, which can use it to update the
input method state.
Summary:
This change introduces support for text input. Text input allows to
compose text on the server (e.g. through a virtual keyboard) and sent
the composed text to the client.
There are multiple interfaces for text input. QtWayland 5.6 uses
wl_text_input, QtWayland 5.7 uses zwp_text_input_v2.
wl_text_input is from pre Wayland-Protocols times and considered as
UnstableV0 in this implementation. The other interface is UnstableV2.
Unfortunately the V2 variant is not yet part of Wayland-Protocols, but
used in Qt.
The implementation hides the different interfaces as good as possible.
The general idea is the same, the differences are rather minor.
This means changes to how interfaces are wrapped normally. On client
side in the Registry a manager is factored which represent either of
the two interfaces. Similar on the server side Display's factory method
takes an argument to decide which interface should be factored. This
way a user of the library can expose both interfaces and thus be
compatible with Qt 5.6 and Qt 5.7 onwards.
