[PATCH xserver] xwayland: Remove xwl_present_window from privates on cleanup

Xwayland's `xwl_destroy_window()` invokes `xwl_present_cleanup()`
before the common `DestroyWindow()`.

But then `DestroyWindow()` calls `present_destroy_window()` which will
possibly end up in `xwl_present_abort_vblank()` which will try to access
data that was previously freed by `xwl_present_cleanup()`:

This is because `xwl_present_cleanup()` frees the memory but does not
remove it from the window's privates, and `xwl_present_abort_vblank()`
will still find it and hence try to access that freed memory...

Clear `xwl_present_cleanup()` after `DestroyWindow()` so that
`xwl_present_abort_vblank()` can still access valid memory before it's
freed.
