The protocol uses a signed integer here, which is also what the
wlr_input_method_v2_preedit_string struct provides to compositors from
the input method protocol. Sway currently just passes those int32_t
values directly to this function leading to an implicit conversion.
Some globals are static and it doesn't make sense to destroy them before
the wl_display. For instance, wl_compositor should be created before the
display is started and shouldn't be destroyed.
For these globals, we can simplify the code by removing the destructor
and stop keeping track of wl_resources (these will be destroyed with the
wl_display by libwayland).
The prevoius implementation would always raise an error in the following sequence:
-> enter
-> leave
<- enable
The text-input type is not equipped to manage the validity of clents' requests, which should be handled in the compositor, as rootston does.
