The type of render device used for a specific GPU affects the mode
setting backend that can be used, more specifically, when the render
device is an EGLStream based one, atomic mode setting isn't possible, as
page flipping is done via EGL, not via atomic mode setting commits.
Preparing the render devices before KMS devices means can make a more
informed decision whether to deny-list atomic mode setting for when
a certain GPU uses a EGLStream based render device instance.
This also means we need to translate mode setting devices to render node
devices when creating the render device itself, as doing it later when
creating the mode setting device is already too late.

This practically does the same thing as part of MetaLauncher, except
with added thread safety and caching. For example, opening the same file
a second time will return the same MetaDeviceFile, and only once all
acquired MetaDeviceFile's are released, will the file descriptor be
closed and control of the device released.

When running as a dispay server pointer barriers are a server side
feature and requires no client interaction of any sort. This patch
implements pointer barriers that can be used when running as a display
server on the native backend. Running as a display server using the X11
backend is currently not supported.
