This is done from the backend X11 connection, but needs directing at times
from the frontend X11 connection. Commit 5a8509f89503 added a XEvent
argument presumably for possible future expansions that did never come.
Since this function is nothing about events, drop the XEvent argument and
make the name a little bit more ad-hoc (according to what it does, at
least).

There's no need for an XEvent filter, since this is already code close enough
to MetaBackendX11 XEvent handling and always required anyways. Make the a11y
configuration checks happen directly from MetaBackendX11 event handling.

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

Create a color manager type that eventually will be the high level
manager of color related behavior, such as ICC profiles and
color "temperature" a.k.a. night light.
For now, it's only an empty shell. It's also constructed by the actual
backend, as at a later point, the X11 and native color management
implementations will differ.

Prior to this commit, barriers were created with a MetaDisplay pointer,
despite being entities related and owned by the backend. In the X11
case, it was also not hooked up to the backend X11 connection, but the
clutter one, meaning for example that the logic was active (but dormant)
also for the Xwayland connection.
Fix this by moving X11 barrier management and event processing fully to
the backend. Also replace passing a display pointer with passing a
backend pointer. Keep the display pointer around for a release, but mark
it as deprecated.

Even though it's great that XI2 has an event to notify about device
changes, this is something we can let the MetaBackend code handle
consistently for all backends, since looking for the source device
works everywhere.

This changes the setup phase of clutter to not be result of calling an
init function that sets up a few global singletons, via global singleton
setup vfuncs.
The way it worked was that mutter first did some initial setup
(connecting to the X11 server), then set a "custom backend" setup vfunc
global, before calling clutter_init().
During the clutter_init() call, the context and backend was setup by
calling the global singleton getters, which implicitly created the
backend and context on-demand.
This has now changed to mutter explicitly creating a `ClutterContext`
(which is actually a `ClutterMainContext`, but with the name shortened to
be consistent with `CoglContext` and `MetaContext`), calling it with a
backend constructor vfunc and user data pointer.
This function now explicitly creates the backend, without having to go
via the previously set global vfunc.
This changes the behavior of some "get_default()" like functions, which
will now fail if called after mutter has shut down, as when it does so,
it now destroys the backends and contexts, not only its own, but the
clutter ones too.
The "ownership" of the clutter backend is also moved to
`ClutterContext`, and MetaBackend is changed to fetch it via the clutter
context.
This also removed the unused option parsing that existed in clutter.
In some places, NULL checks for fetching the clutter context, or
backend, and fetching the cogl context from the clutter backend, had to
be added.
The reason for this is that some code that handles EGL contexts attempts
to restore the cogl EGL context tracking so that the right EGL context
is used by cogl the next time. This makes no sense to do before Cogl and
Clutter are even initialized, which was the case. It wasn't noticed
because the relevant singletons were initialized on demand via their
"getters".

Ensure we issue a motion event for the current pointer position,
as there might be situations where compositor modals get X grabs
from other clients stacked on top, or missed events in between
otherwise.
Ensure the Clutter state is still up-to-date afterwards here. This
replaces some sync_pointer() calls done in GNOME Shell code, always
done after modality changes.

This means backend implementations can have more control of the order of
how things are destroyed. To be precise, this will, in the next commit,
allow us to destroy the logind integration after the clutter backend
thus the libinput owning seat, that uses the logind integration to
release input devices.

We had code in both backends that sort of independently associated
sequences to slots. Make both transform slots to sequences the same
way, so they may share the implementation convert those back to slots.
This helper now lives in Clutter API.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

It was removed in 3.34 as part of 6ed5d2e2. And we thought that was the
only thread that might exist and use X11. But the top gnome-shell crasher
in 3.36 seems to suggest otherwise.
We don't know what or where the offending thread is, but since:
1. We used XInitThreads for years already prior to 3.34; and
2. Extensions or any change to mutter/gnome-shell could conceivably use
threads to make X calls, directly or indirectly,
it's probably a good idea to reintroduce XInitThreads. The failing assertion
in libx11 is also accompanied by a strong hint:
```
fprintf(stderr, "[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client " \
"and XInitThreads has not been called\n");

When a touch sequence was rejected, the emulated pointer events would be
replayed with old timestamps. This caused issues with grabs as they
would be ignored due to being too old. This was mitigated by making sure
device event timestamps never travelled back in time by tampering with
any event that had a timestamp seemingly in the past.
This failed when the most recent timestamp that had been received were
much older than the timestamp of the new event. This could for example
happen when a session was left not interacted with for 40+ days or so;
when interacted with again, as any new timestamp would according to
XSERVER_TIME_IS_BEFORE() still be in the past compared to the "most
recent" one. The effect is that we'd always use the `latest_evtime` for
all new device events without ever updating it.
The end result of this was that passive grabs would become active when
interacted with, but would then newer be released, as the timestamps to
XIAllowEvents() would out of date, resulting in the desktop effectively
freezing, as the Shell would have an active pointer grab.
To avoid the situation where we get stuck with an old `latest_evtime`
timestamp, limit the tampering with device event timestamp to 1) only
pointer events, and 2) only during the replay sequence. The second part
is implemented by sending an asynchronous message via the X server after
rejecting a touch sequence, only potentially tampering with the device
event timestamps until the reply. This should avoid the stuck timestamp
as in those situations, we'll always have a relatively up to date
`latest_evtime` meaning XSERVER_TIME_IS_BEFORE() will not get confused.

Threaded swap wait was added for using together with the Nvidia GLX
driver due to the lack of anything equivalent to the INTEL_swap_event
GLX extension. The purpose was to avoid inhibiting the invocation of
idle callbacks when constantly rendering, as the combination of
throttling on swap-interval 1 and glxSwapBuffers() and the frame clock
source having higher priority than the default idle callback sources
meant they would never be invoked.
This was solved in gbz#779039 by introducing a thread that took care of
the vsync waiting, pushing frame completion events to the main thread
meaning the main thread could go idle while waiting to draw the next
frame instead of blocking on glxSwapBuffers().
As of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/363, the
main thread will instead use prediction to estimate when the next frame
should be drawn. A side effect of this is that even without
INTEL_swap_event, we would not block as much, or at all, on
glxSwapBuffers(), as at the time it is called, we have likely already
hit the vblank, or will hit it soon.
After having introduced the swap waiting thread, it was observed that
the Nvidia driver used a considerable amount of CPU waiting for the
vblank, effectively wasting CPU time. The need to call glFinish() was
also problematic as it would wait for the frame to finish, before
continuing. Due to this, remove the threaded swap wait, and rely only on
the frame clock not scheduling frames too early.

The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendX11, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.

Introduce MetaCompositorX11, dealing with being a X11 compositor, and

XkbNewKeyboardNotify informs the client that there is a new keyboard
driving the VCK. It is essentially meant to notify that the keyboard
possibly has a different range of HW keycodes and/or a different
geometry.
But the translation of those keycodes remain the same, and we don't
do range checks or geometry checks (beyond using KEY_GRAVE as "key
under Esc", but that is hardly one). It seems we can avoid the
busywork that is releasing all our passive grabs, reloading the keymap
and regenerating the keycombos and restoring the passive grabs.

Modal ungrabs may be followed by other clients trying to grab themselves,
flush the connection so we ensure the right order of events on the Xserver
side.
An example of this is js/ui/modalDialog.js in gnome-shell, as the alt-F2
dialog may launch X11 clients trying to grab themselves, commit a40daa3c22
in gnome-shell handled the case and added a gdk_display_sync() call to
ensure no grab existed at the time of executing.
This commit aims to achieve the same built in MetaBackend. A full sync
seems excessive though, as we just need to make sure the server got the
messages queued before the other side tries to grab, a XFlush seems
sufficient for this.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
