xdg-shell: Add min/max size requests
Some application may wish to restrict their window in size, but
xdg-shell has no mechanism for the client to specify a maximum or
minimum size.
As a result, the compositor may try to maximize or fullscreen a window
while the client would not allow for the requested size.
Add new requests "set_max_size" and "set_min_size" to xdg-shell so that
the client can tell the compositor what would be its smallest/largest
acceptable size, and that the compositor can decide if maximize or
fullscreen is achievable, draw an accurate animation, etc.
