This goes through modifying XI2 device properties, either common ones (eg.
set on every device) or those specific to the libinput X11 driver. Keyboard
repeat/rate are set through core and XKB APIs.

This object internally keeps track of the relevant input configuration,
and goes through its vmethods in order to apply the configuration on the
backend-specific devices.
So far, only mouse/touchpad settings are actually attached to GSettings
changes. ::set_matrix(), meant for tablets/touchscreens, is not hooked
yet.
One caveat is that meta_input_settings_create() may return NULL if the
backend does not own the windowing system (wayland nested on X11 being
the one case), and thus device settings can't be changed freely.

This patch removes the X11 specific code from MetaBarrier and creates an
abstraction layer MetaBarrierImpl. The existing X11 implementation is
moved to a new GObject MetaBarrierImplX11 implementing the abstract
interface MetaBarrierImpl which is instantiated by MetaBarrier when
supported.
While at it, move it to backends/ and properly name the files.

EDID parsing has been refactored to a common meta_output_parse_edid()
function, which ensures the extracted information is the same on both KMS
and X11 backend, so it can be used consistently on eg. settings values.

Commit 7e66d2a484e4b2 killed off META_CORE_GET_FRAME_TYPE, but got
the replacement wrong - MetaWindowType is an enum like MetaFrameType,
but the two are not interchangeable.

MetaKeyCombo is about the *unresolved* keybinding, which can either be a
"keysym" (<Ctrl>F) or a "keycode" (<Ctrl>0x21). When we resolved the
keysym to a keycode, we stuffed it back in the same MetaKeyCombo, which
confused about what the "keycode" field was for. Thus, we often stomped
on the user's explicit choice if they chose a keycode binding value.
To solve this, create a separate structure, the "devirtualized key combo"
or MetaKeyDevirtCombo, which contains a resolved keycode from the
keysym, and a devirtualized modifier mask. The MetaKeyCombo is now
always a "source" value, and the MetaKeyDevirtCombo is now always what
the user chose.
This also lets us significantly clean up the overlay and ISO key binding
paths.
The reason MetaKeyCombo has a keycode value at all is *not* to store the
devirtualized keycode from the keysym, but instead to allow people that
type in "0x55" into the preference. Everything except the overlay-key
respected this. Make the overlay-key binding respect this.
Break down the beautiful core/ui abstraction barrier by inserting
a pointer to MetaWindow into a MetaUIFrame. I'm a scoundrel, I know.
We'll use this very soon to destroy meta_core_get.
Whenever we added a frame to the GHashTable, we added the frame itself
as the value, and a pointer to its storage of the frame window XID,
as the key.
When we iterated over the hash table, we actually looked up the
MetaUIFrame in the key, which might seem extraordinarily wrong, but
eagle-eyed viewers might notice that the XID is the first field in
MetaUIFrame, so the key and value are actually the same pointer.
Changing the layout of MetaUIFrame at all causes this to go haywire,
so let's not do this and simply put the MetaUIFrame in the value,
as expected.
