In the case a11y is required, the screen reader is very much
interested in getting an uninterrupted flow of key events. It attempts
so by setting a ::captured-event callback on the ClutterStage, but
that falls short with our MetaDisplay event handler, as clutter events
can be stopped before a11y gets a chance to see them.
This kind of selective amnesia wrt key events is not new, in X11 those
go unheard of by the WM as long as a client is focused and no grabs hold,
so it is clients' responsibility to talk with AT bridge.
This commit doesn't yet change that for X11, but we can do this right
away from the compositor on Wayland, and without any chance to be
tampered by clients.

If one would end up with an actor attached to mapped actor, where the
attached actor doesn't itself have an up to date stage view list while
listening on the stage for updating, when clearing the stage views of
the list, anything that would query the stage views list at this time
would end up accessing freed memory.
This could happen if
1) An actor was added to a newly created container actor attached to
the stage
2) The actor got a timeline attached to it
3) The actor was moved to a container that already was mapped
4) A hotplug happened
After (1) both the container and actor would not have any stage views.
After (2) the timeline would listen on the stage for stage views
updates. After (3) the actor would still listen on the stage for stage
views updates. When (4) happened, the actor would be signalled when the
stage got its stage view cleared, at which point it would traverse up
its actor's tree finding an appropriate stage view to base its animation
on. The problem here would be that it'd query the already mapped
container and its yet-to-be-cleared stage view list, resulting in
use-after free, resulting in for example the following backtrace:
0) g_type_check_instance_cast ()
1) CLUTTER_STAGE_VIEW ()
2) clutter_actor_pick_frame_clock ()
3) clutter_actor_pick_frame_clock ()
4) update_frame_clock ()
5) on_frame_clock_actor_stage_views_changed ()
6) g_closure_invoke ()
7) signal_emit_unlocked_R ()
8) g_signal_emit_valist ()
9) g_signal_emit ()
10) clear_stage_views_cb ()
11) _clutter_actor_traverse_depth ()
12) _clutter_actor_traverse ()
13) clutter_actor_clear_stage_views_recursive ()
14) clutter_stage_clear_stage_views ()
...
Avoid this issue by making sure that we don't emit 'stage-views-changed'
signals while the actor tree is in an invalid state. While we now end up
traversing tree twice, it doesn't change the Big-O notation. It has not
been measured whether this has any noticible performance impact.

This does two things to frown upon:
- Modifies ClutterEvent structs, while the effort is to have those
completely opaque, and readonly after creation from the input
thread side.
- Stores state in the ClutterInputDevice struct, event though those
are also considered static after creation, managed by the input
thread, etc.
Stop doing that. This makes all events just forwarded as-is in
the ClutterStage/clutter-main.c code.
Handling of click count sounds like material for a ClutterGestureAction
(or perhaps ClutterClickAction), all of both callers now do it in place
at the moment, while gestures lack a better state tracking and management.

This will not try the captured-event shenanigans to emulate grab
behavior, instead relying on event delivery being influenced by
other grab mechanisms.
While at it, improve handling of additional touchpoints by
cancelling the click action right away, as the differences in
event handling make this unwanted behavior surface.

By default, the pan action performs matrix translations on the
child widget. Nobody wants that (or, nobody wants *just* that).
It's cleaner not to mix mechanism and effect in ClutterGestureAction
subclasses, so drop this base implementation, and change the signal
accumulator so it's more similar to event signals (not that it's
used any longer, anyway).

This warning is actually dead code, since should_be_mapped and
must_be_realized are always set to the same value, so it does not
make sense to check for "a && !b".
Turn this into an assert so we avoid the dead branch, but do not
remove the variable duplication so the more aptly named variable
is used where it belongs, for clarity.

It was a feature relevant for when Clutter was an application toolkit
that wanted the application window to communicate a minimum size to the
windowing system.
Now, clutter is part of the windowing system component, so this feature
doesn't make any sense, so remove it.

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".

This one is a trivial wrapper around clutter_actor_get_children(), so just
use that in the two places where clutter_container_get_children() is used,
and remove clutter_container_get_children().

Right now we damage the stage even if an actor is not mapped, for
example in the overview.
Stop doing so, reducing over-paint significantly in some situations.
Clones will still do stage damage on their own.

ClutterText implements its own get_paint_volume() with its own cache,
but was not invalidating the actor paint volume when when it has
changed. This sometimes could result in labels, especially quickly
changing ones, using the old paint volume which either would cut off the
label or leave parts of the old label on screen.

This mode is passed along by the ClutterInputMethod, the
ClutterInputFocus will preserve it and ensure it is honored
whenever the IM is being reset.
This mode is immediate. The ClutterInputFocus commits the
text directly without queueing a CLUTTER_IM_COMMIT event.
This is important so events are serialized in the right order
in the wayland implementations (i.e. commit before wl_pointer.press).

In line with GTK, the input method context should be reset when clicks
are handled by the ClutterInputFocus user. The reset action can then
either clear or commit the preedit text, as configured by the IM module.

Make sure that when we've recreated views that we'll actually paint a
new frame for it. This was very rarely a problem, as views tend to
result in getting damage etc being queued as side effects of various
things, like layout, but e.g. when running certain tests, this might not
happen. There is no situation where we want to create a new view that
should remain unpainted, so just make sure we initialize it to become up
to date.
