MetaWindow always tries to have a main monitor: If the frame rect is empty
and the window has not been positioned, in meta_window_constructed() we fall
back to asking the backend for the current monitor, and in
meta_window_wayland_update_main_monitor() we fall back to
meta_window_find_monitor_from_id(), which then falls back to the primary
monitor.
In general this means that window->monitor is always set as long as there is
a monitor around.
For getting the highest-scale-monitor the window is on, we currently rely
completely on the frame rect. If the frame rect is empty, we set the
highest-scale-monitor to NULL. Since we usually know though which monitor
the window is, or will be on, and window->monitor is even set to that, we
can just fall back to window->monitor for the highest-scale-monitor.
This makes sure ::highest-scale-monitor-changed is emitted right after the
window is created, and it's set to the correct monitor that the window will
be on. This in turn means that we can send a correct wp_fractional_scale
fraction_scale event to clients right away.

Except meta_window_x11_get_group, which is still used by GNOME Shell
and we can't make it a private API for now.
Will need further investigation and could be done as a future
step

In profilers with a timeline or flame graph views it is a very common
scenario that a span name must be displayed in an area too short to fit
it. In this case, profilers may implement automatic shortening to show
the most important part of the span name in the available area. This
makes it easier to tell what's going on without having to zoom all the
way in.
The current trace span names in Mutter don't really follow any system
and cannot really be shortened automatically.
The Tracy profiler shortens with C++ in mind. Consider an example C++
name:
SomeNamespace::SomeClass::some_method(args)
The method name is the most important part, and the arguments with the
class name will be cut if necessary in the order of importance.
This logic makes sence for other languages too, like Rust. I can see it
being implemented in other profilers like Sysprof, since it's generally
useful.
Hence, this commit adjusts our trace names to look like C++ and arrange
the parts of the name in the respective order of importance.

The following commits will make it possible to pass a NULL window to
display_handle_window_enter/leave to represent the cursor entering the
desktop. This means it can't be a method of the window class anymore.

The shell might raise and make windows recent for another workspace when
an app gets activated on another workspace. Making the windows only
recent on the current workspace thus results in inconsistent focus when
another window of the same app is closed.

Assigning the corresponding stack layer of DESKTOP windows is
currently X11 specific, because there is no way for wayland
clients to set the DESKTOP window type.
This is about to change, so move the code to the generic layer
handling.

Focus follows mouse is meant to avoid focusing windows that happened
to pop up under the pointer, e.g. due to mapping, workspace changes,
etc... On X11, this has been done since ancient times through a
moderately complex synchronization mechanism, so mutter would know
to ignore crossing events caused on those situations.
This mechanism is much prior to XInput 2 though, where we may know
this in a more straightforward way: If the sourceid of the crossing
event is a logical pointer (i.e. equals deviceid), the crossing event
was triggered logically, and not through user input.
Perform this simpler check, and drop the existing mechanism to
ignore logically induced crossing events.

Commit 3bfcb6d1 fixed the check for tiling via keybindings, but
ignored a subtle edge case when tiling with the pointer: The
monitor used for tiling is the monitor with the pointer, which
is not necessarily the one that contains the largest part of the
window.
That is, the correct monitor to check against depends on the
context where the function is called. We can either figure
it out automatically via the current window drag, or make it
a parameter.
The latter is clearer, because the callers already decide which
monitor to use for tiling anyway.

Use work area from the monitor that the window is currently on to
determine if tiling should be allowed.
Window tiling is disabled for monitors with portrait orientation, but
the work area we use to detect portrait orientation is taken from the
monitor that currently has the mouse pointer.
This works fine for edge tiling using the mouse, but this is broken when
using keybindings for window tiling because your mouse pointer could be
on a different monitor that has horizontal orientation.

The 'suspend state' is meant to track whether a window is likely to be
visible any time soon. The hueristics for this are as follows:
* If a window is hidden, it will enter the 'hidden' state.
* If a window is visible, and unobscured, it will enter the 'active'
state.
* If a window is visible, but obscured by another window, it will enter
the 'hidden' state.
* If there is a mapped clone of a window, it will enter the 'active'
state.
* If the window has been in the 'hidden' state for 3 seconds, it will
enter the 'suspended' state.
This will eventually be communicated to Wayland clients so that they can
change their behaviour to e.g. save power.
