Aside from ENTER/LEAVE, there are only two kinds of events that can move
the pointer, motion events and touch update events. Everything else
keeps the pointer at it's current position.
The reason we pick inside _clutter_process_event_details() is that we
want to set the event actor. Now if an event can't move the pointer, it
also can't change the event actor (well, it can subsequently by
triggering changes to the scenegraph, but that's handled elsewhere), so
there's no need to pick a new event actor when we get those events.
Instead, simply reuse the actor that's already associated with the
current input device as the event actor for non MOTION/TOUCH_UPDATE
events.
Events where a device or a touchpoint goes away (like DEVICE_REMOVED or
TOUCH_END/CANCEL) also affect picking, they don't need a repick, but
instead the actor associated with the device/touchpoint needs to be
unassociated. This is ensured by invoking remove_device_for_event() on
those events and will not be affected by this change.
This should improve performance while scrolling quite a bit, since
scroll events come in unthrottled and we now no longer do a repick on
each one of those.

Given X11 nature, the pointer "leaves" the stage anytime it wanders into
a client window, or any other areas that are not deemed part of the
stage input region.
Yet we want to stay correct in those situations, e.g. have the clutter
side reasonably in sync, picking and highlighting to work properly, etc.
In order to achieve that, emulate motion events on XI_RawMotion. These
are as much throttled as our pointer tracking for a11y, in order to avoid
too many XIQueryPointer sync calls. This emulation only kicks in anytime
that X11 notifies us that we are not "on" the stage.
This replaces some sync_pointer() calls in GNOME Shell code that are
there just to compensate for this trait of X11, e.g. in the message tray
code.

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.

Do these Wayland operations (that apply on both native and nested backends)
in the MetaCompositorServer subclass. We want to add more backend specific
behavior here in the future.

In the case that DnD is performed and succeeds, we want to release
the grab early, and let the transfer IPC happen in the back. For
that to happen without a hitch, drag source and offer must be left
related to each other after undoing the grab, even though the default
ungrabbing code does that automatically (indirectly, by unsetting the
drag focus).
In these cases, we used to manually unset the current source, so
this decoupling was skipped. Notably, one missed case is X11 DnD,
so we might end up with the situation there that DnD did succeed,
transfer is ongoing, but the source and offer are already decoupled,
this confused the machinery and missed the finishing XdndFinished
to be emitted to the X11 drag source.
The prior commits prepared for this source/offer decoupling being
a manual operation, this commit avoids doing this automatically
when ungrabbing.

This object is just being detached, with no code unref'ing it. Do
this whenever the XDnD selection goes unowned, usually a good
indication that the drag source no longer is one.

g_set_error_literal() asserts that the provided message is not NULL.
If it is NULL, the function is entirely no-op.
This resulted in a NULL dereference of the GError, which remained
NULL in this case, when trying to print a warning in
clutter_stage_cogl_redraw_view().

We might have a stage view listener attached to the stage itself if the
actor didn't have a suitable frame clock when the actor was associated
with the timeline. We'd then listen to stage-views-changed signals on
the stage itself to be able to attach to a frame clock when one
appeared.
What went wrong is that if an actor that didn't have a frameclock was
associated with a timeline, but then destroyed, the timeline would
disassociate itself from the actor, but it'd still listen on the
stage-views-changed signal on the stage. This would be in itself
harmless, until the timeline itself is destroyed, as at this point, it
wouldn't clean up the stage-views-changed listener on the stage, as it's
assumed to only be valid when there is an actor attached.
Fix this issue by cleaning up the stage's stage-views-changed listener
when the actor is destroyed, as we wouldn't be able to make use of it by
then anyway.

PipeWire recently introduced busy buffers, which actually fixes the last remaining
issue that blocked us from downgrading these cogl_framebuffer_finish() calls into
cogl_framebuffer_flush() ones.
Switch to cogl_framebuffer_flush() in all three stream sources.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1701>
The 0.3.21 release includes busy buffers, which are a requirement
for us to switch to cogl_framebuffer_flush() in the next commit.
Bump pipewire dependency to 0.3.21, and adjust CI to build it from
the corresponding tag.

Before this commit, next presentation time could end up behind now_us or
ahead of now_us depending on how presentation times happened to be
aligned relative to integer multiples of refresh_interval_us. It's not
clear whether this was originally intended because even if it the next
presentation time ends up behind now_us, it is moved ahead by a while
loop down below in this function.
Even though this difference in behavior didn't really matter, it made
reasoning about the subsequent branches more complex. It would also
potentially introduce bugs if the logic was to be modified. So this
commit makes it so next presentation time is always ahead of now_us.
It also adds a comment with a graph detailing the computations, and
adjusts the variable names to drop unfortunate terminology mistakes.

Last presentation time is mainly used to make sure predicted
presentation time is aligned with display refreshes. Even if it went
back in time, there will be no issue as next presentation time takes
current time into account. Synthetic presentation time is not exactly
aligned with display refreshes, so using it would only result in
inconsistent animations.

When a transfer request is done to the MetaSelectionSourceRemote source,
it's translated to a SelectionTransfer signal, which the remote desktop
server is supposed to respond to with SelectionWrite.
A timeout (set to 15 seconds) is added to handle too long timeouts,
which cancels the transfer request.

Nothing is hooked up, it only does basic sanity checking i.e. whether
the clipboard was enabled when interacting with it. No actual clipboard
integration is hooked up yet.
This also syncs org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.xml from
gnome-remote-desktop.

The original implementation of ::touch-mode tested for keyboard
presence to know whether the OSK and other touch-only features were
enabled.
However that didn't pan out, every webcam, card reader and kitchen
sink like to live a second life as EV_KEY devices. This made the
detection of actual external keyboards a much harder task than it
sounds, and was thus removed in commit f8e2234ce5.
Try a different approach here, and test for pointer devices, it
doesn't matter if internal or external devices, the rationales:
- It is significantly easier to get this right, there's virtually
no devices with abs/rel axes that don't try to be a real input
device of some sorts.
- It's not as good as testing for keyboard presence, but it's the
next best thing. These usually come in pairs, except in weird
setups.
- It is better than not having anything for a number of situations:
- Non-convertible laptops with a touchscreen will get touch-mode
disabled due to touchpad presence (plus keyboard). There's
been complains about OSK triggering with those.
- Same for desktop machines with USB touchscreens, the mouse
(and presumably keyboard) attached would make touch-mode
get in the middle.
- Convertible laptops with a broken tablet-mode switch get a
chance to work on tablet modes that do disable input devices
(e.g. detachable keyboards, or via firmware)
- Kiosk machines, tablets, and other devices that have a
touchscreen but will not regularly have a mouse/keyboard
will get the touch-mode enabled.
All in all, this seems to cover more situations the way we expect it,
there's only one situation that the OSK would show where it might
not be desirable, and one that might not show when it better should:
- Tablets and kiosk machines that get one keyboard plugged, but not a
mouse, will still show the OSK, despite being able to type right
away.
- Convertible laptops with broken/unreliable tablet-mode switch (e.g.
ignored by the kernel) rely entirely on the device/firmware
characteristics to work. If after folding into tablet mode the
touchpad remains active, touch-mode will not turn on.
Fixing the tablet-mode switch on these devices should be preferred,
as that'll also make libinput magically disable the touchpad.
The latter can be worked around with the a11y toggle. The former is
merely inconvenient, and nothing prevents the user from plugging a mouse
in addition.
