input: Add support for zwp_text_input_v3 and zwp_input_method_v2

MOON Sungjoon requested to merge weston-rebase_text_input_v3 into main

Some clients such as gtk+3 require the zwp_text_input_v3 protocol for input-method handling. This patch adds this protocol support to text-backend and also modifies weston-keyboard to support zwp_input_method_v2, which is an update for the v1 protocol and aligned with the updated text-input protocol.

The patch also adds support for zwp_virtual_keyboard_v1, used to emulate the behaviour of a physical keyboard.

Note that the updated input-method v2 protocol does not support the input-panel interface as it did on v1. The input panel interface is implemented by desktop-shell to properly display the virtual keyboard interface.

To avoid depending on both input method v2 and v1 (for input-panel only), this patch adds a new weston-input-panel internal protocol (a copy of the old interface from input-method v1), which is then implemented by desktop-shell and used by weston-keyboard when displaying its window.
