fix(wayland): redraw a subsurface's area when it stops drawing

Partial damage was kept whenever the published tree had no drawn subsurface, so a synced child hidden by a null attach (applied by the parent's commit) left its old pixels on screen. The root now remembers whether its last tree drew children and only keeps partial damage when neither did. This also covers destroying a drawn child, so detach no longer forces a full change for an empty one.
