Subject: [PATCH] util/box: Add wlr_box_intersects

wlr_box_intersection generates a new box based on the intersection of
two boxes. Often we simply want to know *if* two boxes intersected,
which we can answer much cheaper.

Add wlr_box_intersects, in similar vein as wlr_box_contains_box but
returning true for any overlap.
