When calculating the fallback framebuffer clip region, which should be
the region in framebuffer coordinates, we didn't scale the view layout
with the view framebuffer scale, meaning for any other scale than 1,
we'd draw a too small region of the view. Fix this by just using the
size of the framebuffer directly, avoiding any scale dependent
calculation all together.

We'll expect a swap event if any of the view paints resulted in a swap;
make the logic dealing with this clearer by making changing the less
vilible '|| swap_event' postfix with a up front '|=' operator.

Prior to this commit the stage was drawn separately for each logical
monitor. This allowed to draw different parts of the stage with
different transformations, e.g. with a different viewport to implement
HiDPI support.
Go even further and have one view per CRTC. This causes the stage to
e.g. draw two mirrored monitors twice, instead of using the same
framebuffer on both. This enables us to do two things: one is to support
tiled monitors and monitor mirroring using the EGLStreams backend; the
other is that it'll enable us to tie rendering directly to the CRTC it
will render for. It is also a requirement for rendering being affected
by CRTC state, such as gamma.
It'll be possible to still inhibit re-drawing of the same content
twice, but it should be implemented differently, so that it will still
be possible to implement features requiring the CRTC split.

To make it more reliable to distinguish between values that are read
from the backend implementation (which is likely to be irrelevant for
anything but the backend implementation), split out those values (e.g.
layout).
This changes the meaning of what was MetaCrtc::rect, to a
MetaCrtcConfig::layout which is the layout the CRTC has in the global
coordinate space.

This only needs to be initialized once but is in the hot path of creating
new paint nodes (for which we create many). Instead, do this as part of
the clutter_init() workflow to keep it out of the hot path.

When calculating regions, a lot of temporary allocations are created. For
the array of rects (which is often a short number of them) we can use
stack allocations up to 1 page (256 cairo_rectangle_int_t). For building
a region of rectangles, cairo and pixman are much faster if you have all
of the rectangles up front or else it mallocs quite a bit of temporary
memory.
If we re-use the cairo_rectangle_int_t array we've already allocated (and
preferably on the stack), we can delay the creation of regions until after
the tight loop.
Additionally, it requires fewer allocations to union two cairo_region_t
than to incrementally union the rectangles into the region.

g_signal_emit_by_name() is used to emit signals on ClutterContainer when
actors are removed or added. It happens to do various interface lookups
which are a bit unneccessary and can allocate memory.
Simply using emission wrappers makes all of that go away.

On x11 we emulate pointer events from touch events as long as there's
only one touchpoint on screen, this obviously leads to x11 sending us
crossing events triggered by the emulated pointer. Now if we get a leave
event and set the stage of the ClutterInputDevice to NULL, new touch
events will be discarded by clutters backend because the core pointer
doesn't have a stage associated. This means Mutter completely loses
state of a touchpoint as soon as it crosses a shell actor.
An easy reproducer for this issue is to start the four-finger-workspace
gesture above a window and to move the pointer emulating touch outside
of the window, this will freeze the gesture as the gesture no longer
receives touch events.
To fix this, stop tracking stage changes on crossing events and simply
leave the ClutterInputDevice stage as-is. In our case there is only one
stage anyway and that won't change in the future.

Add API to ClutterSeat that allows inhibiting the unsetting of the
pointer focus surface. This can be useful for drawing custom cursor
textures like the magnifier of gnome-shell does.
In the future this API should also control unsetting of Clutters
focus-actor, not just the focus surface, that's not really needed right
now since we never unset the focus-actor anyway.

The check-alive feature is there for the user to be able to terminate
frozen applications more easily. However, sometimes applications are
implemented in a way where they fail to be reply to ping requests in a
timely manner, resulting in that, to the compositor, they are
indistinguishable from clients that have frozen indefinitely.
When using an application that has these issues, the GUI showed in
response to the failure to respond to ping requests can become annoying,
as it disrupts the visual presentation of the application.
To allow users to work-around these issues, add a setting allowing them
to configure the timeout waited until an application is considered
frozen, or disabling the check completely.

`meta_xwayland_surface_get_relative_coordinates()` may cause a crash if
the Xwayland surface has no window associated.
That can be observed when using drag and drop from an X11 window to a
Wayland native window:

The cancellable of a request might already be cancelled by the time
the cancelled_cb is connected resulting in finish_cb being called via
ca_context_cancel before g_cancellable_connect returns. In this case
the request that is written to has already been freed.

On a Surface Pro 2017, touch-mode is currently only detected correctly
after detaching and attaching the Type Cover (detachable keyboard) once,
it seems that `has_external_keyboard` is only set to the correct value
after MetaSeatNative is initialized.
So fix that and call `update_touch_mode()` once again when the object is
initialized and the `has_external_keyboard` and `has_touchscreen`
properties have been finally updated.

Which offscreens actor rendering only in cases where it hasn't changed for
2 frames or more. This avoids the performance penalty of offscreening an
actor whose content is trying to animate at full frame rate. It will
switch automatically.

It is only useful for clients that do not set an opaque region but
still can be detected as being opaque. This is helpful for X11 clients
as opaque regions only got introduced around 2012 and only as part of EWMH
and are thus not used in many cases.
On Wayland however opaque regions have been part of the core protocol from the
beginnig and we can assume they are used more commonly.
As the current implementation in `MetaWindowActor` does not handle Wayland
subsurfaces well, instead of adding more complexity just move it to
`MetaWindowActorX11`.
While on it, take the shape region into account that is set when clients
use the X Nonrectangular Window Shape Extension Protocol, so we have exact
culling with those clients.

If the transform matrix is an identity, then positioning wont change and
we can avoid creating the transform node altogether. This is based on
a similar find in GTK today while reducing temporary allocations.
This cuts the number of transforms created in clutter_actor_paint() by
about half under light testing of GNOME Shell from 6.8% to 2.4% of
allocations.
Before:
ALLOCATED TOTAL FUNCTION
[ 20.4 MiB] [ 21.20%] clutter_actor_paint
[ 11.0 MiB] [ 11.45%] clutter_paint_node_paint
[ 6.6 MiB] [ 6.84%] clutter_transform_node_new
[ 2.5 MiB] [ 2.61%] clutter_actor_node_new

[ 3.3 MiB] [ 2.41%] clutter_transform_node_new
Allocation amounts will have differed due to different amounts of running
time, but the % of allocations has now dropped below
clutter_actor_node_new() which should be expected.

There are two surface roles owning a MetaWindow: MetaWaylandShellSurface
(basis of MetaWaylandXdgToplevel, MetaWaylandXdgPopup,
MetaWaylandWlShellSurface, etc), and MetaXwaylandSurface.
With these two role types, the MetaWindow has two different types of
life times. With MetaWaylandShellSurface, the window is owned and
managed by the role itself, while with MetaXwaylandSurface, the
MetaWindow is tied to the X11 window, while the Wayland surface and its
role plays more the role of the backing rendering surface.
Before, for historical reasons, MetaWindow was part of
MetaWaylandSurface, even though just some roles used it, and before
'wayland: Untie MetaWindowXwayland lifetime from the wl_surface' had
equivalent life times as well. But since that commit, the management
changed. To not have the same fied in MetaWaylandSurface being managed
in such drastically different ways, rearrange it so that the roles that
has a MetaWindow themself manages it in the way it is meant to; meaning
MetaWaylandShellSurface practically owns it, while with Xwayland, the
existance of a MetaWindow is tracked via X11.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/835
The role determines how a relative coordinate is calculated. More
specifically, using clutters API to transform coordinates is only
accurate right after a clutter layout pass but this function is used
e.g. to deliver pointer motion events which can happen at any time. This
isn't a problem for Wayland clients since they don't control their
position, but X clients do and we'd be sending outdated coordinates if a
client is moving a window in response to motion events.
This was already done already, but now move the Xwayland specific logic
to the Xwayland surface role, keeping the generic transformation logic
in the generic actor surface role.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/835
The shell surface role is the one where subsurfaces may exist, and it
has direct relation to the MetaWindowActorWayland which currently has
the subsurface stacking logic.
Instead of directly finding the window actor when dealing with
subsurfaces, notify the parent surface that the subsurface state
changed, so that it can outsource the application of this information to
the role. For subsurface roles, this simply means forward upward to the
parent; for shell surface roles, this means regenerate the surface actor
layering.
This allows us to move away from accessing the window directly from the
surface, which in turn allows us to change the ownership structure of
windows.
