Fixes #450

Takes a bunch of stuff from #1879 and makes it a wayland protocol method.

This will open up a bunch of useful possibilities like making end session, polkit, etc. dialogs modal with a dimmed background or like using GTK for the window switcher in an external process (that's also why dimming is optional).

For the pantheon wayland part see elementary/pantheon-wayland#7
For testing elementary/pantheon-agent-polkit#92 can be used. For that the pantheon wayland PR is also required

There is no change in behavior on X

@danirabbit do we want to dim everything or leave shell elements like wingpanel and dock undimmed?

This will keep the same behavior as main on older mutter which currently is only opensuse leap 15 afaik. Leap 16 has been released so this should be fine IMO.
