compositor: Version the backend configuration structures
With this struct versioning, it is possible to add new options without
breaking the ABI, as long as all additions are made to the end of a
struct and nothing existing is modified or removed. When things are
added, the structure's size will increase, and we'll use this size as
our minor version number. If existing things need to be changed, then
the major version, struct_version, is incremented to indicate the ABI
break.
From our call sites in main these major and minor version will be
recorded as struct_version and struct_size. Each backend will then
verify these against its own assumptions. So long as the backend's
struct is equal or larger than what was passed in and the major versions
are equal, we're good; but if it is larger, then this is a fatal error.
