Title:
  [enhancement] Need a client API to specify resize limitations

Status in Mir:
  Fix Released
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Mir needs a client API to specify resize behaviour. That is min/max
  sizes, aspect ratio and granularity (e.g. terminals only resize by
  whole characters).

  An example of these requirements is specified in XSizeHints (which we will need to mostly support):
  http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/ICC/client-to-window-manager/wm-normal-hints.html#XSizeHints

  Note that for Mir we do indeed need to specify the limits before
  resizing is attempted. To "ask" the client during a resize would break
  our nice design of "never trust or wait for clients".
