Olivier Fourdan 26ef545b35 composite: Fix use-after-free of the COW
ZDI-CAN-19866/CVE-2023-1393

If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW),
we would leave a dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen
structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.

Make sure to clear the CompScreen pointer to the COW when the latter gets
destroyed explicitly by the client.

This vulnerability was discovered by:
Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
