Centre fullscreen surfaces smaller than output

Sway renders fullscreen surfaces smaller than the output left-aligned.

From xdg-shell:

> If the surface doesn't cover the whole output, the compositor will
> position the surface in the center of the output and compensate with
> with border fill covering the rest of the output. The content of the
> border fill is undefined, but should be assumed to be in some way that
> attempts to blend into the surrounding area (e.g. solid black).

Render surfaces smaller than the output centred. Can be tested easily
with:

    weston-simple-egl -f -r
