agl-shell: Add bound_ok and bound_fail events and a default destructor
As we're increasing the amount of combinations we could have in the AGL platforms, in which we're mixing various platforms, we require a way to tell clients that there's already a shell client which in charge. We can't really have multiple shell clients managing the windows and surfaces, but in the same time we don't want to sever the wayland connection the way it happens currently. Racy alternatives might exist, which avoid advertising the interface altogether once a client did bind to the interface but that's not really a viable solution. So instead of doing that, this patch introduces two new events which tells the client that it was either successful, and it can continue issue requests and receive events or a that it the bind failed. The client can chose to wait and try later and abandon to bind to the agl_shell intefface, and behave like a regular client. While doing an update to protocol to add those two events this patch add also a default destructor for the protocol.

+ Starting with version 2 of the protocol, the client is required to wait
+ for the 'bound_ok' or 'bound_fail' events in order to proceed further.
+
+ In case the client gets a 'bound_fail' event then it should consider that
+ there's another client already bound to the agl_shell protocol.
+ A client that receives a 'bound_ok' event should consider that there's
+ no other client already bound to the interface and can proceed further.
+
+ If the client uses an older version of the protocol it will receive
+ automatically an error and the compositor will terminate the connection,
+ if there's another client already bound the interface.
+
+ If the client receives the 'bound_fail' event and attempts to use the
+ interface further it will receive an error and the compositor will
+ terminate the connection. After the 'bound_fail' event was received the
+ client should call the destructor, which has been added with version 2
+ of the protocol. The client is free to try at a later point in time to
+ see if it will receive the 'bound_ok' event, but there's no explicit way
+ of finding out when that event will be delivered.
+ It is assumed that it can infer that information through other
+ means/other channels.
