compositor: support loading backend via shortened name
While the --backend parameter looks like it takes a file name, it really is selected from a list of supported strings that are then funneled through a translation to enum weston_compositor_backend [1]. Because all backend parameters are of the form "...-backend.so", and writing "--backend=...-backend.so" is boring, allow the --backend option to match the backend name without "-backend.so" suffix instead. For example, this allows to use "--backend=headless" instead of "--backend=headless-backend.so". Update help text and documentation. Keep the old way working for backwards compatibility.
