It allows a more generic layer management that several modules can use
at the same time without breaking each others’ layers.

This change is incomplete but the desktop shell works fine with it.
The idea is to allow other modules to use layers without breaking the shell.
Using relative layers like the old patch did is not flexible enough, since
modules could want to put layers *between* the shell’s ones.
Comments?
I think it's better to change shell.c to not pull out and add back all
layers when the screensaver triggers. I thought it was a cool idea at
the time since if the other surfaces aren't even in the scenegraph,
there's no way they can steal focus from the screen lock dialog.
At this point, I think it's cleaner to just add a lock-screen layer
that we can put the unlock dialog into and perhaps a lock screen
background surface.

This fixes the runtime ordering of layers, but it does not address the
need of plugin willing to put layers between the shell’s one.
Also, it defeats the purpose of the lock screen, because a plugin can
either put a layer *under* the background or *on top* of the lock screen.
