doc: start documenting Xwayland
This is a rough intro to what Xwayland is and does, with just one implementation detail so far (Window identification). I paid no attention to formatting details, those can be polished in follow-ups. I just want the prose out. I also just quickly whacked up the diagram, would be happy to see someone replace it with a nicer one. I just didn't have time to learn dot for now. v2: - typo fix - rephrase "talking to hardware" as "driving the displays" - mention circular dependency in intro - add section to explain rootless and rootful modes - remove paragraph about Xwayland protocol usage - move TBD part to the end under a new section header v3: - use "advantage" and "disadvantage" instead of "pro" and "con" - slight rewording on rootful mode and rootless mode paragraphs - removed the paragraph about the lack of shell and special Wayland protocol extensions - removed the commented out list of ideas to write v4: - typo fixes pointed out by Yong Cc: Olivier Fourdan <ofourdan@redhat.com> Cc: Jonas Ådahl <jadahl@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Jonas Ådahl <jadahl@gmail.com>
