Bug Description

If a parent session has multiple surfaces, there's no way of tying the surface of a prompt session helper to one of them.

So, if a prompt session helper surface is a dialog, for instance, the shell has no way of knowing on top of which top-level window from the parent session that dialog should be on top of.

Is prompt session a server-only thing?

On a related note, we have similar issues with other surface types like in bug 1497844.

I think mir_surface_spec_attach_to_foreign_parent was intended to support this.
