util: assert alloc is consistent with data in wl_array_add()
struct wl_array may be constructed by users manually from a
foreign data pointer:
uint32_t states[] = {1, 2, 3};
struct wl_array arr = {
.data = states,
.size = sizeof(states) / sizeof(states[0]),
};
This is useful to avoid the need to allocate when sending Wayland
messages.
Users need to be careful not to use wl_array_add() on such arrays:
the function will misbehave by leaving garbage at the start of the
new buffer when reallocating.
Add an assert to guard against wl_array_add() calls in this
situation, to have a clear crash instead of undefined behavior.

commit 290ce2a9c13019b1ee2841b0e1881da4e407e9fb
Author: Manuel Stoeckl <code@mstoeckl.com>
Date: Thu Apr 17 18:30:11 2025 -0400
protocol: elaborate on drm_fourcc.h and wl_shm.format codes
Wayland clients should not assume the format list will not grow, or
assume the format descriptions in the Wayland protocol are complete.
(The latter fact is clear for descriptionless enum entries like
XRGB8888_A8; but, for example, the full XRGB16161616F format
description explicitly requires IEEE 754 binary16 floats instead
of bfloat16 or ARM's alternative half precision variant.)

client: fix crash when creating proxies with no queue

Now we have the "warning: queue xxx destroyed while proxies still attached", then a crash if one of
the proxies is used to create a proxy.

protocol: introduce wl_surface.get_release
This new request allows clients to get per-surface-commit buffer
release events. It supersedes wl_buffer.release.
This functionality is also available via the linux-explicit-synchronization
protocol, but requires the compositor to also support Linux
synchronization fences. Adding this new request to the core protocol
allows any compositor to implement the functionality.

doc: make DocBook validation optional
It turns out that changes in the building environment, the version of
Doxygen being a prime suspect, can break the validation. Invalid DocBook
XML does lead to likely broken documentation, but perhaps it is better
than failing to build or having to disable documentation completely.
CI turns DocBook validation on, because the CI environment is stable and
known, and we do want to catch mistakes in hand-written DocBook files.

protocol: reindent wayland.xml
The file used a mixture of tabs and spaces. According to .editorconfig,
all xml files should be indented with spaces, so this seems like the
correct choice if we wanted to reindent the file.
I used vim's :retab command to expand all tabs to 8 spaces.

doc/css: adjust code and userinput styles
I don't know why <code> was defined to be bold, it looks bad to me. The
same with <synopsis> which would inherit bold from <dt> when used inside
a variablelist term. So, to make the code snippets look better, force
them to use normal weight.
<userinput> should differentiate from normal code somehow, and italic
seems fine for it.
<literal> already has bold, and I think it's fine, so no need to touch
it.
These changes are mainly for the new XML dialect documentation chapter.
I didn't notice anything changing for the older or generated parts of the
docs.

doc: document the Wayland XML dialect
Document the XML tags used to describe Wayland protocols. Previously we
only had the informal specification in the Protocol chapter, and the
DTD. Better late than never.
I have looked into wayland-scanner and libwayland for various
limitations documented here possibly for the first time. I have also
forbid things that are not in use or are known broken, including
unspecified interface for a new_id in an event, or an object argument
with an unspecified interface.
I did investigate writing a RELAX NG compact schema for Wayland and
documenting everything there, then generating DocBook XML from it.
However, it seems generating documentation from schema is actually
really complicated. I found these tools:
- xs3p stylesheet: website looks dead, though Sourceforge still
has it. Produces XHTML, not DocBook. Has an unfamiliar license.
- xsddoc: the authors wrote that XSLT is not really sufficient, so they
abandoned this approach and went for Java to create xnsdoc.
- xnsdoc: seems to be proprietary licensed, although one could ask for a
free license for a FLOSS project.
All in all, it seems to be much easier to just write the documentation
in DocBook, copying the strcture from the DTD manually, than to generate
it. It's not doing to change often, anyway. It also allowed me to
leverage DocBook syntax in full.
