[plasma/kwin/Plasma/6.7] src/wayland: Support more than one wl_data_device

Git commit 528acd49e4e3b849a5fed2307f4a5e12e1a5a395 by Vlad Zahorodnii.
Committed on 10/08/2026 at 11:08.
Pushed by vladz into branch 'Plasma/6.7'.

Support more than one wl_data_device

KWin uses only first data_device and ignores any other.
This patch allows to create and use more wl_data_devices per wl_seat.

BUG: 521494
