// Control messages sent to the impl side of the compositor (client) from the
// main side of the compositor (server).
// Note: Unless specified in a comment, all fields in a message are required,
// even if listed as optional.

// Commit Flow: The commit flow defines the protocol for data exchange between
//              the client and the server. The commit flow is characterized by
//              the following messages.
//
//              1) The commit will always be started by the client. The server
//                 may request a commit from the client by sending a
//                 CompositorMessageToImpl of type SET_NEEDS_COMMIT. Note that
//                 if the server needs to push any updates to the client, this
//                 message will only be sent once, and the client must respond
//                 with CompositorMessageToMain of type BEGIN_MAIN_FRAME to
//                 start the commit.
//                 The client can spontaneously initiate a commit when it needs
//                 to request new data from the server by sending the
//                 BEGIN_MAIN_FRAME message.
//
//              2) On receiving BEGIN_MAIN_FRAME message, the server can respond
//                 with either CompositorMessageToImpl of type START_COMMIT, if
//                 it needs to push an update to the client, or of type
//                 BEGIN_MAIN_FRAME_ABORTED if the commit was aborted.
