For X11 grabs, the pattern matching mechanism would simply ignore
applications which have neither WM_CLASS nor WM_NAME set.
When dealing with an override redirect window however, it is not
uncommon that these window have neither value set as these window are
supposed to be ignored by the window manager.
When the WM_CLASS or the WM_NAME is not set by the client, assume the
value is empty so the pattern matching can allow for these.

This is inspired by 98892391d7 where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.

To emulate X11 grabs, mutter as a Wayland compositor would disable its
own keyboard shortcuts and when the X11 window is an override redirect
window (which never receives focus), it also forces keyboard focus onto
that X11 O-R window so that all keyboard events are routed to the
window, just like an X11 server would.
But that's a bit of a “all-or-nothing” approach which prevents
applications that would legitimately grab the keyboard under X11 (like
virtual machine viewers) to work by default.
Change “xwayland-allow-grabs” to control whether the keyboard focus
should be locked onto override redirect windows in case of an X11 grab.
For stringent needs, careful users can still use the blacklisting
feature (i.e. a list containing “!*”) to prevent grabs from any X11
applications to affect other Wayland native applications.

If the surface is gone before `meta_xwayland_keyboard_grab_end()` is
called, we would bail out early leaving an empty grab, which will cause
a segfault as soon as a key is pressed later on.
Make sure we clean up the keyboard grab even if the surface is gone.

This protocol is limited to Xwayland only and is not visible/usable by
any other client.
Mutter uses the following mechanisms to determine if an X11 client
should be granted a grab:
- is "xwayland-allow-grabs" set?
- if set, is the client blacklisted?
- otherwise, has the client set the X11 window property
_XWAYLAND_MAY_GRAB_KEYBOARD on the window using a client message?
- if not, is it a client white-listed either via the default system
list or the settings "xwayland-grab-access-rules"?
