Pekka Paalanen 9c1ac7b220 compositor: add weston_client_start()
weston_client_start() is a new wrapper around weston_client_launch(),
that does the process tracking on its own, and logs the process exit
status.

When users of weston_client_start() want to know when the process exits,
they should hook into the wl_client destroy signal. This works for cases
where the client is not expected to disconnect without exiting.

As wl_client destructor and the sigchld handler run in arbitary order,
it is usually difficult for users to maintain both struct weston_process
and a struct wl_client pointer. You would need to wait for both
destructor and handler to have run, before attempting to respawn the
client.

This new function relieves the caller from the burden of maintaining the
struct weston_process, assuming the caller is only interested in client
disconnects.

Weston

Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a
useful compositor in its own right.  Weston has various backends that
lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as
under X11.  Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple
clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more
complete clients and a simplistic toolkit.  There is also a quite
capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop
shell.  Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server
and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window
manager.

Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for building
weston and its dependencies.

The test suite can be invoked via `make check`; see
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/testing.html for additional details.
