would you mind elaborating more about the issues that this PR fixes? |

Well, by itself it doesn't fix anything of course. But clients using it will be able to deal better with low memory situations with the oom_score event, or to have the covers work better thanks to the different states of alien_surface, without needing to use separate surfaces. |

This PR introduces a wayland protocol, alien-manager.xml, used to handle non native, alien clients. Since they don't connect to lipstick directly but to a proxy process instead, the wl_shell protocol doesn't work well enough and introduces bugs.
