wp-fractional-scale-v1: new protocol

This protocols allows for communicating preferred fractional scales to
surfaces, which in combination with wp_viewport can be used to render
surfaces at fractional scales when applicable.

+  <description summary="Protocol for requesting fractional surface scales">
+    This protocol allows a compositor to suggest for surfaces to render at
+    fractional scales.
+
+    A client can submit scaled content by utilizing wp_viewport. This is done by
+    creating a wp_viewport object for the surface and setting the destination
+    rectangle to the surface size before the scale factor is applied.
+
+    The buffer size is calculated by multiplying the surface size by the
+    intended scale.
+
+    The wl_surface buffer scale should remain set to 1.
+
+    If a surface has a surface-local size of 100 px by 50 px and wishes to
+    submit buffers with a scale of 1.5, then a buffer of 150px by 75 px should
+    be used and the wp_viewport destination rectangle should be 100 px by 50 px.
+
+    For toplevel surfaces, the size is rounded halfway away from zero. The
+    rounding algorithm for subsurface position and size is not defined.
