18a21b67c2 wayland: move XWayland support code to its own file
Given that xwayland code is already split in meta-xwayland, it
makes sense to have there the implementation of the private
xserver protocol too.

3803fd9511 wayland: don't use fork() and SIGCHLD to spawn processes
It is a very bad idea in a glib program (especially one heavily
using glib child watching facilities, like gnome-shell) to handle
SIGCHLD. While we're there, let's also use g_spawn_async, which
solves some malloc-after-fork problems and makes the code generally
cleaner.

f9a11b3b18 wayland: Adds basic hybrid X + Wayland support
This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.

This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.

TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.

Note: At this point no input is supported
