run headless with weston

[kapouer]

weston can run headless

Options for headless-backend.so:

  --width=WIDTH		Width of memory surface
  --height=HEIGHT	Height of memory surface
  --transform=TR	The output transformation, TR is one of:
	normal 90 180 270 flipped flipped-90 flipped-180 flipped-270
  --use-pixman		Use the pixman (CPU) renderer (default: no rendering)

On debian/experimental with weston 1.11.94 (ideally weston 1.12.0 should be used)

weston -B headless-backend.so --socket=wktest &
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wktest mocha

so it's just weston replacing xvfb;

it has a couple options that might be interesting:
--no-outputs
--use-pixman

NB: vkms kernel driver.
