Initializing it to an empty string had broken configuring xkbcommon

now client_surface()->data is a pointer to the wlr_scene_tree of clients
which allows us to not call wlr_scene_node_lower_to_bottom() for every clients
Check the wlr_layer_surface_v1_state.committed bitmask to see if we need
to rearrange. This is also what sway does.
Without this check, every commit request (even if only the attached buffer
changed) will lead to another configure event, which will lead to another
commit, etc.
This loop results in swaybg consuming 100% CPU.

Prior to this change, if a client whose tag(s) are not currently
selected is launched or killed, no update to status was printed and
status bars being fed by printstatus() did not update newly active
or newly inactive (but unselected) tags.
SDL2 calls xdg_toplevel.unset_fullscreen() before the surface is
mapped. This causes a segfault in dwl because setfullscreen() expects
the surface to be mapped already.
Therefore, delay the setfullscreen call until the surface is mapped.
dup2 doesn’t close fds, it only duplicates them. The old ones weren’t
closed, causing problems (like dwl blocking due to the child process
never reading from the reading end, even if stdin has been closed).
All the XDG surface iterator does is iterate the main wlr_surface, then
iterate the popups. If we inline that function, we can merge part of it
with the X11 case.
It seems like there are people trying dwl who aren't as familiar with
how their distros do development, so let's give them a pointer in the
right direction.
If a transient failure occurs in wlr_output_commit, re-render until it
doesn't happen. This could possibly be removed if we decide to
implement damage tracking in the future.
Unlike with X window managers, the display socket in Wayland isn't set
up prior to starting the compositor. Because of this, you can't pipe
the compositor's output directly into a program which needs access to
$WAYLAND_DISPLAY, which is a typical setup for this purpose. Existing
scripts have been forced to create a pipe/FIFO or a temporary file as an
intermediary.
Instead, send the status info directly to stdin of the -s command, which
*does* have access to $WAYLAND_DISPLAY.

dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots). It is intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that dwm does in X11, primarily in terms of philosophy, and secondarily in terms of functionality. Like dwm, dwl is:

## Building dwl
dwl has only two dependencies: wlroots 0.13 and wayland-protocols. Simply install these and run `make`. If you wish to build against a Git version of wlroots, check out the [wlroots-next branch](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/tree/wlroots-next).
dwl has only two dependencies: `wlroots` and `wayland-protocols`.
Simply install these (and their `-devel` versions if your distro has separate development packages) and run `make`. If you wish to build against a Git version of wlroots, check out the [wlroots-next branch](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/tree/wlroots-next).
To enable XWayland, you should also install xorg-xwayland and uncomment its flag in `config.mk`.

## Running dwl
dwl can be run as-is, with no arguments. In an existing Wayland or X11 session, this will open a window to act as a virtual display. When run from a TTY, the Wayland server will take over the entire virtual terminal. Clients started by dwl will have `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` set in their environment, and other clients can be started from outside the session by setting this variable accordingly.
dwl can be run on any of the backends supported by wlroots. This means you can run it as a separate window inside either an X11 or Wayland session, as well as directly from a VT console. Depending on your distro's setup, you may need to add your user to the `video` and `input` groups before you can run dwl on a VT.
You can also specify a startup program using the `-s` option. The argument to this option will be run at startup as a shell command (using `sh -c`) and can serve a similar function to `.xinitrc`: starting a service manager or other startup applications. Unlike `.xinitrc`, the display server will not shut down when this process terminates. Instead, as dwl is shutting down, it will send this process a SIGTERM and wait for it to terminate (if it hasn't already). This makes it ideal not only for initialization but also for execing into a user-level service manager like s6 or `systemd --user`.
When dwl is run with no arguments, it will launch the server and begin handling any shortcuts configured in `config.h`. There is no status bar or other decoration initially; these are instead clients that can be run within the Wayland session.
Note: Wayland requires a valid `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, which is usually set up by a session manager such as `elogind` or `systemd-logind`. If your system doesn't do this automatically, you will need to configure it prior to launching `dwl`, e.g.:
If you would like to run a script or command automatically at startup, you can specify the command using the `-s` option. This command will be executed as a shell command using `/bin/sh -c`. It serves a similar function to `.xinitrc`, but differs in that the display server will not shut down when this process terminates. Instead, dwl will send this process a SIGTERM at shutdown and wait for it to terminate (if it hasn't already). This makes it ideal for execing into a user service manager like [s6](https://skarnet.org/software/s6/), [anopa](https://jjacky.com/anopa/), [runit](http://smarden.org/runit/faq.html#userservices), or [`systemd --user`](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/User).
Note: The `-s` command is run as a *child process* of dwl, which means that it does not have the ability to affect the environment of dwl or of any processes that it spawns. If you need to set environment variables that affect the entire dwl session, these must be set prior to running dwl. For example, Wayland requires a valid `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, which is usually set up by a session manager such as `elogind` or `systemd-logind`. If your system doesn't do this automatically, you will need to configure it prior to launching `dwl`, e.g.:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/xdg-runtime-$(id -u)
mkdir -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

### Status information
Information about selected layouts, current window title, and selected/occupied/urgent tags is written to the stdin of the `-s` command (see the `printstatus()` function for details). This information can be used to populate an external status bar with a script that parses the information. Failing to read this information will cause dwl to block, so if you do want to run a startup command that does not consume the status information, you can close standard input with the `<&-` shell redirection, for example:
dwl -s 'foot --server <&-'
If your startup command is a shell script, you can achieve the same inside the script with the line
exec <&-
