Carlos Garnacho 9c488a0b10 text-input: Add preedit text hints
There seems to be some demand from input methods to be able
to style different parts of the preedit string differently.
Since the reasons to do that are many, and vary between IMs
and languages.

But even though some IMs would much want to be able to specify
colors, they lack the context to know what choice of colors
provides enough contrast and legibility embedded on foreign
UIs (e.g. accounting things like themes, accessibility, ...).

There is a proposal for a semantic closed list of pre-edit
styling options at https://github.com/ibus/ibus/wiki/Wayland-Colors,
which this commit follows, so clients and UIs have more freedom
in displaying a suitable style to pre-edit strings.
