This is needed to allow tests to manipulate the behavior of the test
shell plugin during startup. Since the plugin is created and started
when the MetaDisplay is created, it needs to be handled via MetaContext,
by setting the options after creating the context, but before starting.
For simplicity reasons, make the options an opaque GVariant, passed via
a an `"options"` property when the plugin object is created, if the
passed options is non-NULL. Only passing the options when non-NULL
allows for backward compatibility.

Make this core object own the MetaSessionManager, for the window management
code to access.
At this level, we will be able to integrate with systemd notification
system, and use systemd fdstore to keep the mapped memory warm for
us for the case of soft reboot. This is at the moment not implemented
here.

A nick property is a bit similar to the nick of a GObject property, in
that it's a shorter version of the name. It's intended to be used to
store state on the file system, where the state depends on the desktop
environment being used. E.g. gnome-shell sets the name "GNOME Shell",
which is, if no nick is explicitly set, transformed into the nick
"gnome-shell", which will be used for file paths.

by executing `global.context.get_debug_control().exported = true`.
This makes it possible to get access to the debug service without having
to start with `--enable-debug`.

The debug controller can optionally, when passing --debug-control,
enable manipulating debug state, so far enabling/disabling HDR, via
D-Bus.
It's always created, in order to have a place to store debug state and
emit signals etc when it changes, but so far, it doesn't have its own
state it tracks, it just mirrors that of the monitor manager.

Persistent profiling was started via an env var, but that's rather hard
to discover and remember without grepping; change to use a command line
argument.
The profiler is started early, even during (though late in)
configuration, but configuration should ideally be instant and pointless
to configure.

The service channel D-Bus interface aims to be a "back door" for
services that needs special casing in Mutter, e.g. have custom private
protocols only meant to be used by that particular service.
There are currently no special casing implemented; only the basic
service channel infrastructure is added. There is a single method on the
interface, that is meant to eventually be used by
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome to open a Wayland connection with a private
protocol needed for the portal backend's rather special window
management needs.
The service channel Wayland client works by allowing one instance of
each "type", where each time needs to be defined to work in parallel. If
a new service client connects, the old one will be disconnected.
MetaWaylandClient's are used to manage the service clients, and are
assigned the service client type.

This object intends to replace the scattered functions that are used to
make up what is effectively a "mutter context". It takes care of the
command line arguments that is now done in main.c, persistant virtual
monitors, and the like.

This intends to replace the call to `meta_register_with_session()` that
deals with X11 session management, and is called when the user is
"ready". In thet test context, doing that makes no sense, so make it a
no-op.

Configuration is the first step of the lifetime of a context, after
creation; it's here where argc/argv is processed, and it's determined
what kind of compositor, etc, it is going to be.
The tests always run as Wayand compositors, so the configuration is
quite simple, but will involve more steps later on.

This type is intended to replace the scattered functions used to
configure how the Mutter compositor is run. It currently doesn't do
anything, and only has a human readable name, intended to be set to e.g.
"GNOME Shell".
It's an abstract type, and is intended to be used via either a future
`MetaContextMain` for real display server use cases, and a
`MetaContextTest` for test cases.
