Introduce xdg-foreign protocol

xdg-foreign is a protocol meant to enable setting up inter surface
relationships across clients. Potential use cases are out-of-process
dialogs, such as file dialogs, meant to be used by sandboxed processes
that may not have the access it needs to implement such dialogs.

It works by enabling a client to export a surface, creating a handle
for the exported surface. The handle, in form of a unique string, may
be shared in some way with other clients (for example the provider of
the file dialog) which can then import the exported surface.

+  <description summary="Protocol for exporting xdg surface handles">
+    This protocol specifies a way for making it possible to reference a surface
+    of a different client. With such a reference, a client can, by using the
+    interfaces provided by this protocol, manipulate the relationship between
+    its own surfaces and the surface of some other client. For example, stack
+    some of its own surface above the other clients surface.
+
+    In order for a client A to get a reference of a surface of client B, client
+    B must first export its surface using xdg_exporter.export. Upon doing this,
+    client B will receive a handle (a unique string) that it may share with
+    client A in some way (for example D-Bus). After client A has received the
+    handle from client B, it may use xdg_importer.import to create a reference
+    to the surface client B just exported. See the corresponding requests for
+    details.
+
+    A possible use case for this is out-of-process dialogs. For example when a
+    sandboxed client without file system access needs the user to select a file
+    on the file system, given sandbox environment support, it can export its
+    surface, passing the exported surface handle to an unsandboxed process that
+    can show a file browser dialog and stack it above the sandboxed client's
+    surface.
+
+    Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and backward
+    incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes may be added
+    together with the corresponding interface version bump. Backward
+    incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in the protocol
+    and interface names and resetting the interface version. Once the protocol
+    is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the version number in the
+    protocol and interface names are removed and the interface version number is
+    reset.
