MetaSelectionSourceMemory currently uses GBytes for its underlying data.
This can cause memory overhead when large items, such as HD images, are
stored in the clipboard. This commit changes the underlying data
structure to a MetaAnonymousFile object, which writes to memfd instead
of heap. When reading, MetaSelectionSourceMemory will create a
Gio.UnixInputStream from the file descriptor generated by
MetaAnonymousFile. We subclass the UnixInputStream as
MetaUnixInputStream, to override the stream's close_fn function so
that it invokes meta_anonymous_file_close_fd when the stream terminates.

Requesting a selection with a NULL data source means "unset the clipboard",
but internally we use an unset clipboard as the indication that the
clipboard manager should take over.
Moreover, this unset request may go unheard if the current owner is someone
else than the MetaWaylandDataDevice.
Instead, set a dummy data source with no mimetypes nor data, this both
prevents the clipboard manager from taking over and ensures the selection
is replaced with it.
The MetaSelectionSourceMemory was also added some checks to allow for this
dummy mode.
