surface: allow placing subsurfaces below parent
Prior to this commit, subsurfaces could only be placed above their parent. Any place_{above,below} request involving the parent would fail with a protocol error. However the Wayland protocol allows using the parent surface in the place_{above,below} requests, and allows subsurfaces to be placed below their parent. Weston's implementation adds a dummy wl_list node in the subsurface list. However this is potentially dangerous: iterating the list requires making sure the dummy wl_list node is checked for, otherwise memory corruption will happen. Instead, split the list in two: one for subsurfaces above the parent, the other for subsurfaces below. Tested with wleird's subsurfaces demo client. Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/1865
