layer-shell: introduce keyboard_interactivity enum

Make it clearer what the two possible modes are, and expose enum values
instead of requiring clients to use 0 or 1.

Also clarify that compositors aren't required to give focus if keyboard
interactivity is exclusive.

<enum name="keyboard_interactivity">
<description summary="types of keyboard interaction possible for a layer shell surface">
Types of keyboard interaction possible for layer shell surfaces. The
rationale for this is twofold: (1) some applications are not interested
in keyboard events and not allowing them to be focused can improve the
desktop experience; (2) some applications will want to take exclusive
keyboard focus.

<entry name="none" value="0">
<description summary="no keyboard focus is possible">
This value indicates that this surface is not interested in keyboard
events and the compositor should never assign it the keyboard focus.
This is the default value, set for newly created layer shell surfaces.
This is useful for e.g. desktop widgets that display information or
only have interaction with non-keyboard input devices.

<entry name="exclusive" value="1">
<description summary="request exclusive keyboard focus">
Request exclusive keyboard focus if this surface is above the shell surface layer.
For the top and overlay layers, the seat will always give
exclusive keyboard focus to the top-most layer which has keyboard
interactivity set to exclusive. If this layer contains multiple
surfaces with keyboard interactivity set to exclusive, the compositor
determines the one receiving keyboard events in an implementation-
defined manner. In this case, no guarantee is made when this surface
will receive keyboard focus (if ever).
For the bottom and background layers, the compositor is allowed to use
normal focus semantics.
This setting is mainly intended for applications that need to ensure
they receive all keyboard events, such as a lock screen or a password
prompt.

<request name="set_keyboard_interactivity">
<description summary="requests keyboard events">
Set to 1 to request that the seat send keyboard events to this layer
surface. For layers below the shell surface layer, the seat will use
normal focus semantics. For layers above the shell surface layers, the
seat will always give exclusive keyboard focus to the top-most layer
which has keyboard interactivity set to true.
Set how keyboard events are delivered to this surface. By default,
layer shell surfaces do not receive keyboard events; this request can
be used to change this.
This setting is inherited by child surfaces set by the get_popup
request.
Layer surfaces receive pointer, touch, and tablet events normally. If
you do not want to receive them, set the input region on your surface
