desktop-shell: Add missing weston_view_destroy()

This fixes the following weston_view leak at compositor shutdown:

With commit 'libweston, desktop-shell: Add a wrapper for weston_surface reference' we've removed an explicit weston_view_destroy() call due to a UAF which would've happen if we had close animations enabled, upon terminating a client. In that patch I've incorrectly wrote this happened when animations are off, but in fact it happened when they're on, see the following trace:

This patch re-introduces it to avoid leaking the view upon compositor shutdown, but it does it in tandem with weston_desktop_surface_unlink_view(), (which was added in a later patch) and before weston_surface_unref() call.

This way we should be safe to terminate/close clients with additional views created by libweston-desktop (pop-ups), but also in other different situations.

Verified it in the following circumstances:

  • terminating a client with close animation on
  • terminating a client with close animations off
  • shutting down the compositor with clients running, with and without close animations
  • terminating top-level clients with additional pop-ups with both with and without close animations
