Norman Feske c6fd0055b1 sculpt: split window manager into multiple pkgs
This commit moves the window layouter and window decorator into
dedicated packages that can now be combined with the "wm" server at
runtime and restarted/reconfigured/swapped-out independently.

To use the window manager, one must start the 'wm', 'window_layouter',
and one of the 'motif_decorator' or 'themed_decorator' subsystems.

Fixes #3024

       Subsystem for presenting GUI applications in floating windows


The package uses the motif-inspired default decorator. The decorator is
executed in a sub-init instance according to 'decorator_init.config'. This
allows us to easily override the decorator with another implementation (like
the themed decorator) provided by another package while keeping the overall
configuration of the wm subsystem.

As another advantage of hosting the decorator in a dedicated init instance,
it is possible to restart or replace the decorator at runtime by serving
the 'decorator_init.config' from a dynamic ROM service.
