protocol: make it clear wl_surface.enter/leave are not for frame throttling
Some clients rely on wl_surface.enter/leave to start/stop their rendering
loop.
There are cases where this doesn't work:
- Some compositors don't send wl_surface.leave when a toplevel is hidden.
For instance Sway doesn't send this event when a toplevel is on an inactive
workspace (but doesn't send wl_surface.frame events).
- Some compositors might still want applications to continue to render even if
away from outputs. For instance a compositor that allows to screen record
individual toplevels might not send a wl_surface.enter event for hidden
toplevels.
