wm: prevent superfluous session upgrades

Browse Source 
For each session upgrade performed by a wm client as part of the
Nitpicker::Connection::buffer function, the window manager wrongly
upgraded the wrapped nitpicker session twice: Once by handling the
Root::upgrade, and again by handling of the server-side 'buffer'
operation. Here, the 'buffer' operation was implemented by not merely
forwarding the RPC request to the wrapped nitpicker session but by
calling the 'buffer' method on the wrapped session's connection
object, which implictly issues session upgrades. Consequently,
the window manager would transfer twice the amount of the session
upgrades it received by its clients to nitpicker and eventually ran
out of memory.

The patch fixes the problem by eliminating the call of the
Nitpicker::Connection::buffer method and instead merely forward the RPC
requests to the wrapped nitpicker sessions.
