agl-shell.xml: Introduce a new interface
In order to allow another other client bind to agl_shell interface, this introduces a new specific interface which the client would bind to first, issue a doas_shell_client request, wait for a response, and proceeed further if the event received was successful. Afterwards, the client can bind to agl_shell protocol (and assuming it got 'bound_ok' event back) can further use the agl_shell protocol as it happens with the shell client. This approach avoids adding a new protocol interface and instead re-uses the same interface, with the note that the shell client is still in charge of handling background and panels.
