Some background on this: I am writing a fullscreen shell implementation to
share Wayland displays over VNC, which can be launched in place of weston from
weston's screen-share module.
In screen-share, variables WAYLAND_DISPLAY and WAYLAND_SOCKET are removed from
the environment when launching the fullscreen shell server to prevent it from
connecting back to the original server in a circular manner (since the presence
of these would cause weston to use the wayland backend).
However, the fullscreen shell server may need to know the original server's
display name - to display a configuration UI, for example. This patch saves the
display name under a new environment variable "WAYLAND_SERVER_DISPLAY" before
removing it from the environment, so the fullscreen shell server can use it if
it needs to (the default fullscreen shell implementation in weston doesn't use
it currently). I picked the name "WAYLAND_SERVER_DISPLAY" as it is used in a
similar way to "WAYLAND_SERVER_SOCKET" in the screen-share module.
