XWayland Lands Support For xdg-system-bell

Olivier Fourdan has merged support for using the xdg-system-bell protocol by XWayland for dealing with "system bell" functionality for Wayland compositors supporting this newer protocol for ringing the system bell or otherwise implementing a visual indicator that a system bell type event may have been triggered. But now XWayland supports xdg-system-bell as that newer Wayland protocol for handling system bell functionality. Rather than making it necessarily ring an audible system bell on systems supporting it, the xdg-system-bell protocol could be implemented by Wayland compositors as a visual cue or other indicator that such an event was triggered.
