Pekka Paalanen 3b3e81f42e cursor: handle running out of buffer space 
If posix_fallocate is available, use it to detect when we are running
out of buffer space.

Propagate the failure properly through the various functions, stopping
loading cursors but keeping the cursors that were already successfully
loaded.

This may result in an animated cursor not having all of its images, or a
cursor theme not having all of its cursors. When that happens, the
failure is NOT communicated to the application. Instead, the application
will get NULL from wl_cursor_theme_get_cursor() for a cursor that was
not loaded successfully. If an animated cursor is missing only some
images, the animation is truncated but the cursor is still available.

This patch relies on the commit "os: use posix_fallocate in creating
sharable buffers" for defining HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE.

What is Wayland

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to
its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol.  The
compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel
modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland
client itself.  The clients can be traditional applications, X servers
(rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

The wayland protocol is essentially only about input handling and
buffer management.  The compositor receives input events and forwards
them to the relevant client.  The clients creates buffers and renders
into them and notifies the compositor when it needs to redraw.  The
protocol also handles drag and drop, selections, window management and
other interactions that must go through the compositor.  However, the
protocol does not handle rendering, which is one of the features that
makes wayland so simple.  All clients are expected to handle rendering
themselves, typically through cairo or OpenGL.

The weston compositor is a reference implementation of a wayland
compositor and the weston repository also includes a few example
clients.

Building the wayland libraries is fairly simple, aside from libffi,
they don't have many dependencies:

    $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland
    $ cd wayland
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=PREFIX
    $ make
    $ make install

where PREFIX is where you want to install the libraries.  See
http://wayland.freedesktop.org for more complete build instructions
for wayland, weston, xwayland and various toolkits.
