Summary:
The main clever part that's not just boring boiler plate is how we
handle the structure change
A surface now has an XDGSurface which then has a an Xdg TopLevel or a
Xdg Popup
We need to fit this into the public API which assumes a surface has a
Surface or a Popup.
The old Surface is similar to the new TopLevel.
The shoehorning works by relying on the fact that a surface without a
role is pretty useless.
Clients create the surface implicitly with the toplevel or implicitly
with the popup.
The server only announced it has a new "XdgSurface" when it gets a new
zxdg_surface_get_toplevel.
----
Popup decisions:
- On popup creation the server should copy the current info from the
positioner and then it gets deleted. Given kwaylands job is to keep
state, we expose all these parameter via popup.
- Due to this positioner is not exposed as a resource anywhere.
- Server API is 100% backwards compatiable.
i.e new code will work identically with v5 clients.
- Client API is not. Grabs are called separately from the constructor,
and the parent surface changed to an xdgsurface, not a raw surface.
V5 code still works as-is, just not with the new constructors.
It seemed better to match the v6 (and what will be the stable v7) than
to try and do hacks and lose functionality.
Given the client needs to change the code to opt into V6 anyway. I don't
think this is a huge problem.
Test Plan: Current test still passes.

Summary:
This change introduces support for the unstable xdg-shell interface in
the server. The implementation is based on version 5 of the unstable
interface. This is the version used by toolkits like e.g. GTK.
There is also a version 6 of the protocol under development which is
incompatible. This makes it difficult to implement it in a backward
compatible way.
Because of that the implementation is a little bit different to other
interfaces and inspired by the TextInput interfaces:
On client side an XdgShell class is exposed which does not represent
it directly. Instead it delegates everything to an XdgShellUnstableV5
implementation. For the Surface/Popup the same is done.
In the Registry it's possible to create an XdgShell and it accepts
the XdgShellUnstableV5 and in future will accept XdgUnstableV6, etc.
On server side it also follows the approach from TextInput. That is
there is a version enum which gets passed to the factory method in
Display. It currently supports only V5, but in future can be extended
for V6. As there is lots of similar code between wl_shell, xdg_shell
and in future xdg_shell_unstable_v6 a templated GenericShellInterface
class is added which combines the common parts.
