server: add a safer signal type and port wl_display to it

wl_list_for_each_safe, which is used by wl_signal_emit is not really
safe. If a signal has two listeners, and the first one removes and
re-inits the second one, it would enter an infinite loop, which was hit
in weston on resource destruction, which emits a signal.
This commit adds a new version of wl_signal, called wl_priv_signal,
which is private in wayland-server.c and which does not have this problem.
The old wl_signal cannot be improved without breaking backwards compatibility.
