There are no 'features' left, the last one, GLSL shader support, was
moved to Cogl.
This also move the Cogl context creation to a more sensible place, as it
was hidden away in the feature initialization.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2015>
This feature was configured depending on whether the Cogl backend
reported COGL_WINSYS_FEATURE_MULTIPLE_ONSCREEN or not. All cogl backends
do report this, so any code handled the 'static' case were never used.
While we only ever use one stage, it's arguable more correct to
consilidate on the single stage case, but multiple stages is something
that might be desirable for e.g. a remote lock screen, so lets keep this
logic intact.
This has the side effect of completely removing backend features, as
this was the only left-over feature detection that they handled.

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".

We checked if we were using the usig the X11 backend to decide when to
deal with a11y event posting - in order to make the clutter code less
windowing system dependent, make this check a check whether we're a
display server or not, in contrast to a window/compositing manager
client. This is made into a vfunc ot ClutterBackendClass, implemented by
MetaClutterBackendNative and MetaClutterBackendX11.

Add private API to ClutterBackend to set a fallback resource scale
available to Clutter. This API will be used for "guessing" the
resource-scale of ClutterActors in case the actor is not attached to a
stage or not properly positioned yet.
We set this value from inside mutters MetaRenderer while creating new
stage-views for each logical monitor. This makes it possible to set the
fallback scale to the scale of the primary monitor, which is the monitor
where most ClutterActors are going to be positioned.

They have been deprecated for a long time, and all their uses in clutter
and mutter has been removed. This also removes some no longer needed
legacy state tracking, as they were only ever excercised in certain
circumstances when there was sources (pipelines or materials) on the now
removed source stack.

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.

Just move the minimal bits to this ClutterKeymapEvdev object. Much
of the functionality of a keymap is spread along ClutterSeatEvdev,
ClutterDeviceManagerEvdev and ClutterVirtualInputDevice. Future
refactors are due here.
Also, ideally keymaps are per-seat objects (at least keyboard state
is). We don't expose much info about seats altogether outside the
evdev device manager implementation. We just poke the main seat at
places, but eventually seats should be public.
We thus far have similar objects/code internal to backends. Expose the
minimum API necessary to cater for gnome-shell as a generic object.
So far only the X11 backend has an actual GObject for it, and was made
to be a subclass right away.
We'll need a way to trigger a bell from within clutter for keyboard
accessibility features, add the necessary hooks to be able to call a
backend bell-notify method.

Add support for drawing a stage using multiple framebuffers each making
up one part of the stage. This works by the stage backend
(ClutterStageWindow) providing a list of views which will be for
splitting up the stage in different regions.
A view layout, for now, is a set of rectangles. The stage window (i.e.
stage "backend" will use this information when drawing a frame, using
one framebuffer for each view. The scene graph is adapted to explictly
take a view when painting the stage. It will use this view, its
assigned framebuffer and layout to offset and clip the drawing
accordingly.
This effectively removes any notion of "stage framebuffer", since each
stage now may consist of multiple framebuffers. Therefore, API
involving this has been deprecated and made no-ops; namely
clutter_stage_ensure_context(). Callers are now assumed to either
always use a framebuffer reference explicitly, or push/pop the
framebuffer of a given view where the code has not yet changed to use
the explicit-buffer-using cogl API.
Currently only the nested X11 backend supports this mode fully, and the
per view framebuffers are all offscreen. Upon frame completion, it'll
blit each view's framebuffer onto the onscreen framebuffer before
swapping.
Other backends (X11 CM and native/KMS) are adapted to manage a
full-stage view. The X11 CM backend will continue to use this method,
while the native/KMS backend will be adopted to use multiple view
drawing.

Split the stage window implementations into three separate objects: one
for X11 as a compositing manager, one for X11 running as a nested
Wayland compositor, and one for running with the native backend.
The new stage window implementations are only thin shells; this is in
preparation for making the stage windows behave more differently.
