view: implement cascade placement policy

Adds following settings:
<placement>
  <policy>cascade</policy>
  <cascadeOffset x="40" y="30" />
</placement>

"Cascade" policy places a new window at the center of the screen like
"center" policy, but possibly shifts its position to bottom-right so the
new window doesn't cover existing windows.

The algorithm is copied from KWin's implementation:
df9f8f8346/src/placement.cpp (L589)

Also added some helper functions to manipulate `wlr_box`.

<!--
When <placement><policy> is "cascade", the offset for cascading new
windows can be overwritten like this:
<cascadeOffset x="40" y="30" />
-->
</placement>
<!-- <font><theme> can be defined without an attribute to set all places -->
