client: Safe cast a "wl_object *" to "wl_proxy *"

Client message observers 4/6

When given an array of wl_arguments for a wl_closure, the ".o" field is an
opaque wl_object pointer, which the client code cannot really do anything with,
without a potentially unsafe cast that assumes details about the internal
implementation.

By adding a wl_proxy_from_object() function to the client interface, the client
can safely get the wl_proxy pointer.

This can be used by client message observers in particular to get the proxy id
and class name, for logging those details.
