This means objects have an owner, where the chain eventually always
leads to a MetaContext. This also means that all objects can find their
way to other object instances via the chain, instead of scattered global
singletons.
This is a squashed commit originally containing the following:
cursor-tracker: Don't get backend from singleton
idle-manager: Don't get backend from singleton
input-device: Pass pointer to backend during construction
The backend is needed during construction to get the wacom database.
input-mapper: Pass backend when constructing
monitor: Don't get backend from singleton
monitor-manager: Get backend directly from monitor manager
remote: Get backend from manager class
For the remote desktop and screen cast implementations, replace getting
the backend from singletons with getting it via the manager classes.
launcher: Pass backend during construction
device-pool: Pass backend during construction
Instead of passing the (maybe null) launcher, pass the backend, and get
the launcher from there. That way we always have a way to some known
context from the device pool.
drm-buffer/gbm: Get backend via device pool
cursor-renderer: Get backend directly from renderer
input-device: Get backend getter
input-settings: Add backend construct property and getter
input-settings/x11: Don't get backend from singleton
renderer: Get backend from renderer itself
seat-impl: Add backend getter
seat/native: Get backend from instance struct
stage-impl: Get backend from stage impl itself
x11/xkb-a11y: Don't get backend from singleton
backend/x11/nested: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
crtc: Add backend property
Adding a link to the GPU isn't enough; the virtual CRTCs of virtual
monitors doesn't have one.
cursor-tracker: Don't get display from singleton
remote: Don't get display from singleton
seat: Don't get display from singleton
backend/x11: Don't get display from singleton

Currently, the peripheral "output" setting will be unset if Mutter is
deciding automatically the mapped output of a tablet device. In that
case, gnome-control-center will have a hard time figuring out itself
the better output to show the tablet calibration UI, unless it's hand
held by Mutter.
Add this private D-Bus interface so that gnome-control-center can look
up the output as determined by Mutter to bring the missing harmony
between both. This interface consists of a simple method to get the
mapped output for a input device node.

Banish MetaInputSettings from MetaBackend "public" API, it's now meant to
spend the rest of its days in the backend dungeons, maybe hanging
off a thread.
MetaInputMapper replaces all external uses.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Delegate on the MetaInputMapper all matching of inputs and outputs,
including configuration. Other secondary aspects, like output
aspect ratio for tablet letterbox mode, or toggling attached devices
with power saving changes, are also moved here.
This makes MetaInputSettings independent of MetaMonitorManager,
all interaction with it happens indirectly via public API entrypoints.

The upper layers (OSDs basically) want to know the monitor that a
tablet is currently assigned to, not the monitor just as configured
through settings.
This broke proper OSD positioning for display-attached tablets since
commit 87858a4e01, as the MetaInputMapper kicks in precisely when
there is no configured monitor for the given device.
Consulting both about the assigned output will make OSDs pop up
again in the right place.

This object takes care of mapping absolute devices to monitors,
to do so it uses 3 heuristics, in this order of preference:
- If a device is known to be builtin, it's assigned to the
builtin monitor.
- If input device and monitor match sizes (with an error margin
of 5%)
- If input device name and monitor vendor/product in EDID match
somehow (from "full", through "partial", to just "vendor")
The most favorable outputs are then assigned to each device, making
sure not to assign two devices of the same kind to the same output.
This object replaces (and is mostly 1:1 with) GsdDeviceMapper in
g-s-d. That object would perform these same heuristics, and let
mutter indirectly know through settings changes. This object allows
doing the same in-process.
