server: add wl_global_set_user_data

Browse source 
When implementing a workaround for [1], one needs to accept a global to be
bound even though it has become stale.

Often, a global's user data is free'd when the global needs to be destroyed.
Being able to set the global's user data (e.g. to NULL) can help preventing a
use-after-free.

(The alternative is to make the compositor responsible for keeping track of
stale user data objects via e.g. refcounting.)
