We have an abstract MetaWaylandDataSource and 2 subclasses for
clipboard/primary data sources. Since the abstraction provided
by the additional sublevel is arguable, push the wl_resource
field up, and leave us with just 2 objects to think about, all
of them containing a wl_resource.

Add an additional MetaWaylandDataSource implementation for primary selection
sources, and methods to set primary selection offers. Primary selection
sets altogether a different channel than the clipboard selection, those don't
cross in any way.
Also, the bridge for the X11 PRIMARY selection atom has been added, which
adds all the necessary handling to translate primary selection both ways
with wayland and X11 applications.

Firstly, this patch makes MetawaylandDataSource a GObject. This is in
order to easier track its lifetime without adding destroy signals etc. It
also makes the vfunc table GObject class functions instead while at it,
as well as moves protocol specific part of the source into their own
implementations.
An important part of this patch is the change of ownership. Prior to this
patch, MetaWaylandDataDevice would kind of own the source, but for
Wayland sources it would remove it if the corresponding wl_resource was
destroyed. For XWayland clients it would own it completely, and only
remove it if the source was replaced.
This patch changes so that the protocol implementation owns the source.
For Wayland sources, the wl_resource owns the source, and the
MetaWaylandDataDevice sets a weak reference (so in other words, no
semantical changes really). For XWayland sources, the source is owned by
the selection bridge, and not removed until replaced or if the client
goes away.
Given the changes in ownership, data offers may now properly track the
lifetime of a source it represents. Prior to this patch, if an offer with
an XWayland source would loose its source, it wouldn't get notified and
have an invalid pointer it would potentally crash on. For Wayland
sources, an offer would have a weak reference and clean itself up if the
source went away. This patch changes so the behavior is consistent,
meaning a weak reference is added to the source GObject so that the offer
can behave correctly both for Wayland sources and XWayland sources.
