layer-shell: allow new values for keyboard-interactivity

Value is now an enum with a new value ("on-demand") that compositors can use to allow "normal" keyboard focus semantics regardless of the layer the client surface is on. An error is sent for invalid keyboard interactivity values. The old behavior is retained for clients using the previous version of the protocol.

Also adjusted the layer-shell example program to use the new keyboard interactivity options.

+        in keyboard events and not allowing them to be focused can improve the

+        keyboard focus.

+
+          This is the default value, set for newly created layer shell surfaces.
+
+          This is useful for e.g. desktop widgets that display information or

+          Request exclusive keyboard focus if this surface is above the shell surface layer.
+
+          For the top and overlay layers, the seat will always give
+          exclusive keyboard focus to the top-most layer which has keyboard
+          interactivity set to exclusive. If this layer contains multiple
+          surfaces with keyboard interactivity set to exclusive, the compositor
+          determines the one receiving keyboard events in an implementation-
+          defined manner. In this case, no guarantee is made when this surface
+          will receive keyboard focus (if ever).
+
+          For the bottom and background layers, the compositor is allowed to use
+          normal focus semantics.
+
+          This setting is mainly intended for applications that need to ensure
+          they receive all keyboard events, such as a lock screen or a password
+          prompt.

+          This requests the compositor to allow this surface to be focused and
+          unfocused by the user in an implementation-defined manner. The user
+          should be able to unfocus this surface even regardless of the layer
+          it is on.
+
+          Typically, the compositor will want to use its normal mechanism to
+          manage keyboard focus between layer shell surfaces with this setting
+          and regular toplevels on the desktop layer (e.g. click to focus).
+          Nevertheless, it is possible for a compositor to require a special
+          interaction to focus or unfocus layer shell surfaces (e.g. requiring
+          a click even if focus follows the mouse normally, or providing a
+          keybinding to switch focus between layers).
+
+          This setting is mainly intended for desktop shell components (e.g.
+          panels) that allow keyboard interaction. Using this option can allow
+          implementing a desktop shell that can be fully usable without the
