This too is a public installed header.
The public headers are moved under a new top-level directory include/ to make
them clearly stand out as special (public API).

It is a public installed header used by libweston.h.
See "Rename compositor.h to libweston/libweston.h" for rationale.

The main idea is to make libweston users use the form
#include <libweston/libweston.h>
instead of the plain
#include <compositor.h>
which is prone to name conflicts. This is reflected both in the installed
files, and the internal header search paths so that Weston would use the exact
same form as an external project using libweston would.

libweston-desktop is an abstraction library for compositors wanting to
support desktop-like shells.
The API is designed from xdg_shell features, as it will eventually be
the recommended shell for modern applications to use.
In the future, adding new shell protocols support will be easier, as
limited to libweston-desktop.
The library versioning is the same as libweston. If one of them break
ABI compatibility, the other will too.
The compositor will only ever see toplevel surfaces (“windows”), with
all the other being internal implementation details.
Thus, popups and associated grabs are handled entirely in
libweston-desktop.
Xwayland special surfaces (override-redirect) are special-cased to a
dedicated layer, as the compositor should not know about them.
All the shell error checking is taken care of too, as well as some
specification rules (e.g. sizes constraint for maximized and fullscreen
surfaces).
All the compositor has to do is define a few callbacks in the interface
struct, and manage toplevel surfaces.
