From: Matt Hoosier <matt.hoos...@garmin.com>

In order to support system compositor instances, it is necessary to
allow clients' wl_display_connect() to find the compositor's listening
socket somewhere outside of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. For a full account, see
the discussion beginning here:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2017-November/035664.html

This change adjusts the client-side connection logic so that, if
WAYLAND_DISPLAY is formatted as an absolute pathname, the socket
connection attempt is made to just $WAYLAND_DISPLAY rather than
usual user-private location $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY.

This change is based on Davide Bettio's submission of the same concept
at:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2015-August/023838.html.

v3 changes:

* Added test case.
* Clarified documentation to note that 'name' parameter to wl_display_connect()
  can also be an absolute path.

v2 changes:

* Added backward incompatibility note to wl_display_connect() manpage.
* Rephased wl_display_connect() manpage changes to precisely match actual
  changed behavior.
* Added mention of new absolute path behavior in wl_display_connect()
  doxygen comments.
* Mentioned new absolute path interpretation of WAYLAND_DISPLAY in
  protocol documentation.

           <envar>WAYLAND_DISPLAY</envar> replaces the default value. If
