When a X11 application is started, typically what happens is:
- A startup notification token is created, with a _TIME%d suffix
- The application being spawned receives it through the environment
- (dbus piping, maybe)
- The application replies the startup notification token, and
fetches the timestamp from it
- The application makes a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message request
with this timestamp
- Mutter handles this client request and activates/focuses the window
Prevent this last step if windows are not interactable (e.g. there is
a compositor grab) and ignore the focus request. This specifically
applies to X11 clients requesting focus themselves, and unlike previous
approaches, doesn't try to prevent focus changes that do come through
interaction with Mutter/GNOME Shell.
This should only break if applications do not observe _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
and perform XSetInputFocus on themselves, but in that case the X11
keyboard focus is stolen from our hands already.

Ensure we preserve the fast zero-copy paths in Xwayland fullscreen
windows, instead of maybe rendering the client surface on top of the
frame surface, and providing the latter to the compositor.
To achieve this, additionally synchronize frame state when
recalculating features (e.g. after fullscreen/unfullscreen), and
account for this new condition when creating or destroying frames.

Windows that are decorated may get configure requests before
the frames client created a corresponding frame window and Mutter
reparented the window.
Since the configure request results in the buffer size being
used to update the window size and the window does not have a
buffer yet, these requests could mistakenly result in the client
window being given a minimal size.
In these situations, do not use the buffer size but the given
size. The window still has to undergo frame creation and
reparenting before being shown for the first time.

Flip the switch in using MetaWindowDrag, leaving display grab

Now that it is called from a single place, there's a few arguments
that are unnecessary:
- button and modifiers are unused
- already_grabbed was originally added to handle grab transitions between

longer necessary now
- frame_action can be passed through the META_GRAB_OP_WINDOW_FLAG UNCONSTRAINED

Since the windows created by the frames client will have a RGBA visual, we
no longer can perform simple tests about whether the window is opaque. For
that, we will need to additionally know whether the client-side window has
a visual with an alpha channel.

Things like meta_compositor_destroy() and meta_compositor_add_window()
isn't intended to be used externally, and if they was, things would
probably fall apart rather quickly.
MetaCompositor also isn't introspected, meaning things that technically
belong to the compositing parts isn't easily available via some object,
but much take detours via other objects like MetaDisplay.
So move the API intended for internal usage to compositor-private.h, and
leave API that is meant to be expose in the public compositor.h.

There's two meanings of "frame" there! Since SSD frames are now
rendered by an external client, and there are no actual mechanism
that ensures the frame did already get painted when the client did
respond to its NET_WM_FRAME_SYNC_REQUEST request, there may be
artifacts when resizing windows.
In order to get always the best visual result, we should actually
synchronize rendering with both the client window and the window
frame window.
This commit adds these mechanisms, so a sync alarm update is
expected on both windows until further resizes are allowed, this
ensures window and frame stay in sync, even after moving rendering
elsewhere.

Replace the in-process implementation of frames with the external
frames client.
When a client window is created and managed by Mutter, Mutter will
determine whether it is a window that requires decorations and
hint the creation of a frame for it by setting the _MUTTER_NEEDS_FRAME
property on the client window.
After the frames client created a window that has the _MUTTER_FRAME_FOR
property, Mutter will proceed to reparent the client window on the
frame window, and show them as a single unit.
Rendering and event handling on the frame window will be performed by
the external client, Mutter is still responsible for everything else,
namely resizing client and frame window in synchronization, and
managing updates on the MetaWindowActor.
In order to let the frame be managed by the external client, Mutter
needs to change the way some properties are forwarded to the client
and/or frame windows. Some properties are necessary to keep propagating
to the client window only, some others need to happen on the frame
window now, and some others needs to be propagated on both so they
are synchronized about the behavior.
Also, some events that were previously totally unexpected in frame
windows are now susceptible to happen, so must be allowed now.
MetaFrame in src/core/frame.c now acts as the wrapper of foreign
windows created by the frames client, from the Mutter side. Location,
size, and lifetime are still largely in control of Mutter, some
details like visible/invisible borders are obtained from the client
instead (through the _MUTTER_FRAME_EXTENTS and _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS
properties, respectively).

Put the helper to use, in order to lift MetaWindow itself from this

Currently, we will notify the display about a new window being created
during the constructed phase of the GObject. During this time,
property-change notifications are frozen by GObject, so we'll emit a few
::notify signals only after the window-created signal, although
the actual property change happened before that.
This caused confusion in gnome-shell code where a notify::skip-taskbar =
true emission was seen when the property already was true inside a
window-created handler before.
In order to fix that that, we notify the window creation
post-construction
of the GObject on GInitable.init vfunc

With high frequency mouse devices, we would send very many configure
events per each update cycle, which had the end result that some clients
constantly re-allocating and redrawing their buffers far too often, if
they did this in direct response to xdg_toplevel configure events.
Lets throttle the interactive resize updates to stage updates, to avoid
having these clients doing the excessive buffer reallocation.
This also removes some old legacy X11 client resize throttling, that
throttled a bit arbitrarily on 25 resizes a second; it is probably
enough to throttle on stage updates for these clients.

There were some magic conditions that decided when
meta_window_constrain() was to be called or not. Reasoning about and
changing these conditions were complicated, and in practice the caller
knows when constraining should be done. Lets change things by adding a
'constrain' flag to the move-resize flags that makes this clearer. This
way we can, if needed, have better control of when a window is
constrained or not without leaking that logic into the generic
to-constrain-or-not expression.

When an X11 window becomes an all-workspace window its `workspace` is
set to NULL before `meta_window_x11_current_workspace_changed()` is
called. The latter then checks for `workspace` being NULL (which also
happens when unmanaging) and then returns early. So this does not update
`_NET_WM_DESKTOP` to 0xFFFFFFFF. Instead it remains at the workspace the
window was on before. This was causing programs like `wmctrl` to switch
to this old workspace when activating such a window.
Fix this by checking if the window is unmanaging instead.

Mutter would deny the application the right to resize itself during an
interactive resize, to avoid the user and the client to fight for the
size.
When the client is not allowed to resize, it would use the client rect
rather than the buffer rect.
As a result, the client window with client side decorations would
quickly shrink to its minimum size.
Use the buffer rect instead, so that the size really remains the same.

X11 clients can use different models of input handling, of which some
may not result focus being set synchronously.
For such clients, meta_focus_window() will not change the focus itself
but rely on the client itself to set the input focus on the desired
window.
Add a new MetaWindow API to check when dealing with such a window.

When trying to find a default focus window, the code iterates through a
queue of candidates with a timeout between each candidate. If the window
the current timeout is waiting for gets destroyed, this process just
stops instead of trying the next window in the queue.
This issue was made more likely to be triggered with the previous change
to the closed-transient-no-input-parents-queued-default-focus-destroyed
test due to the introduction of a wait, which can introduce a
delay between the two destroy commands.

This commits adds support on the MetaWindow and constraints engine side
for asynchronously repositioning a window with a placement rule, either
due to environmental changes (e.g. parent moved) or explicitly done so
via `meta_window_update_placement_rule()`.
This is so far unused, as placement rules where this functionality is
triggered are not yet constructed by the xdg-shell implementation, and
no users of `meta_window_update_placement_rule()` exists yet.
To summarize, it works by making it possible to produce placement rules
with the parent rectangle a window should be placed against, while
creating a pending configuration that is not applied until acknowledged
by the client using the xdg-shell configure/ack_configure mechanisms.
An "temporary" constrain result is added to deal with situations
where the client window *must* move immediately even though it has not yet
acknowledged a new configuration that was sent. This happens for example
when the parent window is moved, causing the popup window to change its
relative position e.g. because it ended up partially off-screen. In this
situation, the temporary position corresponds to the result of the
movement of the parent, while the pending (asynchronously configured)
position is the relative one given the new constraining result.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/705
A placement rule placed window positions itself relative to its parent,
thus converting between relative coordinates to absolute coordinates,
then back to relative coordinates implies unwanted restrictions for
example when the absolute coordinate should not be calculated againts
the current parent window position.
Deal with this by keeping track of the relative position all the way
from the constraining engine to the move-resize window implementation.
