84c10124cd compositor: support loading backend via shortened name
While the --backend parameter looks like it takes a file name, it really
is selected from a list of supported strings that are then funneled
through a translation to enum weston_compositor_backend [1].

Because all backend parameters are of the form "...-backend.so", and
writing "--backend=...-backend.so" is boring, allow the --backend option
to match the backend name without "-backend.so" suffix instead.

For example, this allows to use "--backend=headless" instead of
"--backend=headless-backend.so".

Update help text and documentation. Keep the old way working for
backwards compatibility.

Let VNC clients authenticate using the local username and password of
the user weston is running as. To avoid transmitting the password in
cleartext, make TLS security mandatory.
