With this header we can set a flag to signal that the whole buffer is
corrupt and should be ignored. With this we can cater to all cases:
* Window buffer fine, but cursor broken:
Use the spa_meta_cursor properties like id or offset accordingly
* Window buffer broken, but cursor fine:
Use the chunk flags
* Both are broken / the dequeued buffer is not usable
Use the spa_meta_header flag
Additionally clients can now check if a buffer contains spa_meta_header
data and can thus only check for the new or the old behaviour.

PipeWire supports flags to signal a corrupted buffer. We should use the
flag SPA_CHUNK_FLAG_CORRUPTED for `chunk->flags` instead of setting
`chunk->size = 0` since the size isn't well defined for arbitrary dmabufs
and should be set to 0.
Sadly clients like obs are using a chunk size of 0 to decide if a buffer
should be imported. Thus we should offer both until clients are using
the flag.

If the remote desktop service emits absolute input events (e.g. absolute
pointer events) before the stream has started streaming, we don't have a
virtual monitor, as the size has not been negotiated yet. When this
happens, just drop the event. Remote desktop services should probably
make sure not to send events before the streaming has started, but them
doing so anyway shouldn't trigger a crash, which would be the case
otherwise.

Keep the virtual monitor around if it's being resized. This reduces the
number of unnecessary object rebuilding that happen during monitor
rebuilding.
This changes finalize() vfunc into a dispose() vfunc in the abstract
stream source object implementation, as it needs the abstract stream
source object to close the stream early, so that various signal
listeners get disconnected early.

Add some debug logging that allows checking whether we're using DMA
buffers for screencasting or system memory buffers. This can be useful
for debugging screencasting performance and CPU usage.

With the ability to query the renderer for DMA-BUF support we can
announce support for implicit modifiers. This allows PipeWire to check
for matching modifiers while negotiation.

Next commits will reintroduce a certain behavior of stage
capturing that can only happen with DMA-BUF buffers. To
control this, add a new flag tp MetaScreenCastRecordFlags
for this behavior.

The area source, window source, and monitor source, currently set up the
stream size up front, given the area, maximum allowed window size or
monitor resolution, but for to be introduced sources, the size will be
negotiated using PipeWire, instead of specified via the D-Bus API. This
commit changes the internal source API to allow for this. There are
currently no users of this new behaviour.

When recording the screen and real time encoding it using a gstreamer
pipeline, that pipeline can stall when the encoder is too slow. Log a
debug message using the new SCREEN_CAST debug topic in that case so we
know when framedrops are happening.

The other end of the PipeWire stream can set the buffer data type to a
bitmask of supported buffer types. We should respect this, and not
attempt to allocate a DMA buffer if it isn't asked for.

Instead of getters, pass the width, height and stride around when
relevant. This also removes the redudant "stream_size" and
"stream_height" variables from the src struct, as they are already part
of the video format.

A first step towards abandoning the CoglObject type system: convert
CoglFramebuffer, CoglOffscreen and CoglOnscreen into GObjects.
CoglFramebuffer is turned into an abstract GObject, while the two others
are currently final. The "winsys" and "platform" are still sprinkled
'void *' in the the non-abstract type instances however.

Currently, the maximum size for a mouse pointer bitmap for screen
casting is 64x64 pixels.
However, this limit is hit way too often as it is way too low and
results in crashes in either gnome-remote-desktop or mutter.
For example: The a11y settings in g-c-c allow setting a larger pointer
bitmap in order to increase the visibility of the mouse pointer.
With the current limit of 64x64 pixels it is not possible to use the
larger variants of the default mouse pointer bitmap, without
experiencing any crash.
Another way to hit the limit is when display scaling is used or some
game uses a custom (large) mouse pointer bitmap.
The VNC backend in gnome-remote-desktop does not seem to have a maximum
pointer bitmap size.
The RDP backend on the other hand has a maximum pointer bitmap size at
384x384.
Use this size (384x384) as maximum size instead of the current 64x64
size for mouse pointer bitmaps to avoid crashes in mutter and
gnome-remote-desktop and to ensure that bigger mouse pointer bitmaps
can be used.

Always force-track the cursor position (so that the X11 backend can keep
it up to date), and if the cursor wasn't part of the sampled
framebuffer when reading pixels into CPU memory, draw it in an extra
pass using cairo after the fact. The cairo based cursor painting only
happens on the X11 backend, as we otherwise inhibit the hw cursor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
During animation or other things that cause multiple frames in a row
being painted, we might skip recording frames if the max framerate is
reached.
Doing so means we might end up skipping the last frame in a series,
ending with the last frame we sent was not the last one, making things
appear to get stuck sometimes.
Handle this by creating a timeout if we ever throttle, and at the time
the timeout callback is triggered, make sure we eventually send an up to
date frame.
This is handle differently depending on the source type. A monitor
source type reports 1x1 pixel damage on each view its monitor overlaps,
while a window source type simply records a frame from the surface
directly, except without recording a timestamp, so that timestamps
always refer to when damage actually happened.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1361
Now that we don't use the record function to early out depending on
implicit state (don't record pixels if only cursor moved for example),
let it simply report an error when it fails, as we should no longer ever
return without pixels if nothing failed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1361
Both do more or less the same but with different methods - one puts
pixels into a buffer using the CPU, the other puts pixels into a buffer
using the GPU.
However, they are behaving slightly different, which they shouldn't.
Lets first address the misleading disconnect in naming, and later we'll
make them behave more similarly.

The stream will clean up the buffers, so let it do that before we
destroy them under its feet. Note that it'll only do this after the
following PipeWire commit:

We're iterating inside the PipeWire loop when detecting PipeWire errors,
and shouldn't destroy the PipeWire objects mid-iteration. Avoid this by
first disabling the stream src (effectively stopping the recording),
then notifying about it being closed in an idle callback. The
notification eventually makes the rest of the screen cast code clean up
the objects, including the src and the associated PipeWire objects, but
will do so outside the PipeWire loop iteration.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1251https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1251
For every stream src, we created and attached a GSource. Upon stream
src destruction, we g_source_destroy():ed the GSource. What
g_source_destroy() does, hawever, is not really "destroy" it but only
detaches it from the main context removing the reference the context had
added for it via g_source_attach(). This caused the GSource to leak,
although in a detached state, as the reference taken on creation was
still held.
Fix this by also removing our own reference to it when finalizing.

PipeWire will be unable to dequeue a buffer if all are already busy.
This can happen for valid reasons, e.g. the stream consumer not being
fast enough, so don't complain in the journal if it happens.

Much like monitor streaming, implement window streaming by
making the window actor draw itself with a paint context
that used the passed framebuffer.
Now that all MetaScreenCastStreamSrc subclasses implement
blit_to_framebuffer, remove the conditional check from
meta_screen_cast_stream_src_blit_to_framebuffer().

Implement PipeWire's add_buffer and remove buffer, try and export
a DMA buffer first and, on failure, fallback to memfd.
When DMA buffers are successfully created and shared, blit the
framebuffer contents when drawing instead of downloading the pixels.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1086
Make the monitor implementation do things strictly related to its own
source type, leaving the Spa related logic and cursor read back in the
generic layer, later to be reused by the window source type
implementation.
