The infrastructure to read _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE already exists in wlroots
(it's used for example in wlr_xwayland_or_surface_wants_focus()). But
the window type isn't easily accessible to the compositor because the
atoms to compare against are private to xwm.c.
labwc has recently gone to a fair amount of effort (including opening a
whole new xcb connection) just to get the needed window type atoms:

It seems much cleaner to add the remaining few (3) atoms to wlroots and
implement a shared function which can be used by any wlroots compositor.
v2: naming updates
This fixes two problems:
- A surface could get unexpected release events for buttons pressed
while other surface was focused;
- Clearing focus while a button is pressed would lead to the button
getting "stuck".

Previously it was supplying a pointer to private struct wlr_xwm
which was useless for compositors. The wlr_xwayland pointer in
contrast does have a generic data field and thus can be used by
compositors to attach their own pointer.
Additionally change the return value from int to bool.
This is especially useful if the compositor wants to support X11
panels to control windows. Without the signal a compositor does
have to hook into the user_event_handler callback but that would
not change the _NET_SUPPORTED root window property.
The old logic might not update the entire scene node when a node is
disabled. It would only consider the damage last time (the damage was
based on the visible region of the node).
It's important that we update the entire node region because xwayland
stacking will depend on this.
In labwc, we have had trouble with XWayland windows using the Globally
Active input model (see wlr_xwayland_icccm_input_model()). Under
traditional X11, these windows do not expect to be given focus directly
by the window manager; rather, the WM sends them a WM_TAKE_FOCUS message
prompting the client to take focus voluntarily.
Currently, these clients are difficult to support with wlroots, because
wlr_xwayland_surface_activate() assumes the client window will always
accept the keyboard focus after being sent WM_TAKE_FOCUS. Some Globally
Active client windows (e.g. panels/toolbars) don't want to be focused.
It's useless at best to focus them, and might even make them misbehave.
Others do need keyboard focus to be functional -- and there doesn't seem
to be any reliable way to know this in advance.
Adding wlr_xwayland_surface_offer_focus() allows the compositor to send
WM_TAKE_FOCUS to a client window supporting it and then see whether the
client accepts or ignores the offer. If it accepts, the surface will emit
the focus_in signal notifying the compositor that it has received focus.
This is entirely opt-in. A compositor that doesn't want to use the new
function can continue to call wlr_xwayland_surface_activate() directly
just as before.
Currently _NET_WM_STATE is updated in xwm_focus_window() but
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW is updated in xwm_surface_activate(). In some cases
(for example, client-initiated focus changes) the two properties can get
out of sync.
Factor out a new function which updates both properties in sync.
Adjust the logic in xwm_handle_focus_in() to call either
xwm_focus_window() or xwm_set_focused_window(), or neither, as
appropriate.
From the event description:
This event indicates that the output power management mode control is no
longer valid. This can happen for a number of reasons, including:
<...>
- The output disappeared
This swaps the argument order of wlr_surface_accepts_touch() and
wlr_surface_accepts_tablet_v2(), putting the wlr_surface argument first
as should be the case for functions namespaced with wlr_surface_*.
