Make the concept of maximum screen size optional, as it is not
necessarily a thing on all systems (e.g. when using the native backend
and stage views).
The meta_monitor_monitor_get_limits() function is replaced by a
meta_monitor_manager_get_max_screen_size() which fails when no screen
limit is available. Callers and other users of the previous max screen
size fields are updated to deal with the fact that the limit is
optional.
The new D-Bus API is changed to move it to the properties bag, where
its absence means there is no applicable limit.

The MetaOutput::is_primary state was not correctly managed in two cases:
* for tiled monitors, the primary state got overridden when setting
the preferred resolution
* for laptop lid, it was not set if the laptop panel happened to be
the first output

Move the UpClients notify::lid-is-closed signal handling into
MetaMonitorManager, and put the getter behind a vfunc. This means
Placing it behind a vfunc allows custom backends to implement it
differently; for example the test backend can mock the state.

The MetaMonitorMode referred to the mode of a CRTC, and with the future
introduction of a MetaMonitor, theh old name would be confusing.
Instead call it what it is.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Going through the global mode pool and then checking if the mode is
available for a given output is pointless work since we can look at
the output's available modes directly.
This implicitly changes how we choose the default mode since, instead
of relying on the sort order of the global modes array, we now rely on
the sort order of the output modes array. Still not ideal, but at
least it makes more sense since the global array is essentially
unsorted.

Wrap the existing laptop_display_is_on() method in a public function
that gnome-shell can use to query whether a builtin output is present
and enabled.

The previous configuration might not apply because the number of
enabled outputs when trying to apply it might have changed. This isn't
a bug so we shouldn't assert. Instead, we can handle it by falling
back as we would if we didn't have a previous configuration to start
with.

Some DRM drivers have added a consistent set of properties that
allow compensating for the overscan that some TVs do, without the
user being able to disable.
Refactor make_default_config() to always sanity-check the configuration to
ensure that it fits within the framebuffer. Previously, this was only done
for the default linear configuration.
In recent versions of the QXL driver, it may set "suggested X|Y" connector
properties. These properties are used to indicate the position at which
multiple displays should be aligned. If all outputs have a suggested position,
the displays are arranged according to these positions, otherwise we fall back
to the default configuration.
At the moment, we trust that the driver has chosen sane values for the
suggested position.
When the output device has hotplug_mode_update (e.g. the qxl driver used in
vms), the displays can be dynamically resized, so the current display
configuration does not often match a stored configuration. When a new
monitor is added, make_default_config() tries to create a new display
configuration by choosing a stored configuration with N-1 monitors, and then
adding a new monitor to the end of the layout. Because the stored config
doesn't match the current outputs, apply_configuration() will routinely
fail, leaving the additional display unconfigured. In this case, it's more
useful to just fall back to creating a new default configuration from
scratch so that all outputs get configured to their preferred mode.
Move logic for creating different types of configurations into separate
functions. This keeps things a bit cleaner and allows us to add alternate
configuration types more easily.
When a laptop's lid is closed we try to build and apply a temporary
configuration that disables the laptop's display if we have other
outputs.
This isn't enough though, we must also check if at least one of these
other outputs is enabled otherwise we'll try to resize the screen to
0x0 which (rightfully) hits an assertion.

The code in MetaMonitorConfig was really complex and was trying to do
way too much, using multiple different variables to determine where
things were stored, and trying to do fancy tricks to transfer
ownership.
Add a refcounting system to help simplify this, and clean up the logic.
Simply along the way, this fixes multiple bugs in the monitor config
logic, most notably bug #734889, which was my original goal to fix.
meta_monitor_config_match_current() only matches the number of outputs
and if the output connector, vendor, product and serial match.
In the X backend, this means that we can't use it to bypass doing any
work because it won't detect cases where we actually want to update
ourselves like e.g. an output being turned off either by us or by
another X client (e.g. xrandr).
In the native backend, unlike the xrandr backend, we only get called
on real hotplug events and thus should always trigger the common
hotplug code to (possibly) apply a new mode so the check is pointless
anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738630
We can only apply a configuration if its outputs match the connected
ones, so discard the current configuration if the set of output changes
(for example for hotplug), otherwise we will crash trying to apply
the bogus previous configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725637
Apparently some connector technologies don't distinguish between
on and off, and there might be valid use cases for running without
any connected monitor.
In that case, just avoid any configuration at all.

Right now this just has all of the files in one directory. We'll
be introducing more structure to this in the future, and build
a proper backend system.
