[regression] mir_demo_server_basic does not start

The underlying cause is important - the overloads of Server::add_configuration_option() don't handle char const* very well (because bool is a bultin type and std::string isn't)

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Low still. I'm not sure the "basic" server still has a purpose at all. Need to check...

P.S. mir_demo_server_{minimal,shell} both still work.

        clients instead of potentially stalling the compositor thread waiting
        for them to be signalled.
      . New client debug interface to translate from surface to screen
        coordinates.
    - ABI summary: Servers need rebuilding, but clients do not;
      . Mirclient ABI unchanged at 8
