This launches Xvfb, using xvfb-run, and inside tests the following:
1. Launching 'mutter --x11' works
2. Launching a couple of X11 clients works (doesn't crash or result in
warnings)
3. Launching 'mutter --x11 --replace' works
4. Terminating works
It does this using a simple shell script.

gnome-desktop is used to retrieve the monitor vendor name which in some
use cases is not needed as it brings a bunch of gnome-desktop unwanted
dependencies.
The change makes mutter fallback to an "Undefined" vendor name if it is
built without gnome-desktop

The purpose of MetaRenderDevice is to contain the logics related to a
render device; i.e. e.g. a gbm_device, or an EGLDevice. It's meant to
help abstract away unrelated details from where it's eventually used,
which will be by MetaRendererNative and the MetaOnscreenNative
instances.

To utilize the API provided by libsystemd it would be better to
create a separate HAVE_LIBSYSTEMD configuration option instead of
having to rely on HAVE_NATIVE_BACKEND.
For now this will be utilized for getting the control group of a
MetaWindow.

As with the compositor type enum, also have the X11 display policy enum,
as it's also effectively part of the context configuration. But as with
the compositor type, move it to a header file for enums only, and since
this is a private one, create a private variant meta-enums.h.

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 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.

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.

This object takes over the functionality of meta-idle-monitor-dbus.c,
meta-idle-monitor.c and meta-backend.c, all related to higher level
management of idle watches etc.
The idle D-Bus API is changed to be initialized by the backend instead
of MetaDisplay, as it's more of a backend functionality than what
MetaDisplay usually deals with.
It also takes over the work of implementing "core" idle monitors. The
singleton API is replaced with thin wrapper functions on the backend.

The new RecordVirtual API creates a virtual monitor, i.e. a region of
the stage that isn't backed by real monitor hardware. It's intended to
be used by e.g. network screens on active sessions, virtual remote
desktop screens when running headless, and scenarios like that.
A major difference between the current Record* API's is that
RecordVirtual relies on PipeWire itself to negotiate the refresh rate
and size, as it can't rely on any existing monitor, for those details.
This also means that the virtual monitor is not created until the stream
negotiation has finished and a virtual monitor resolution has been
determined.

Virtual monitors are monitors that isn't backed by any monitor like
hardware. It would typically be backed by e.g. a remote desktop service,
or a network display.
It is currently only supported by the native backend, and whether the
X11 backend will ever see virtual monitors is an open question. This
rest of this commit message describes how it works under the native
backend.
Each virutal monitor consists of virtualized mode setting components:
* A virtual CRTC mode (MetaCrtcModeVirtual)
* A virtual CRTC (MetaCrtcVirtual)
* A virtual connector (MetaOutputVirtual)
In difference to the corresponding mode setting objects that represents
KMS objects, the virtual ones isn't directly tied to a MetaGpu, other
than the CoglFramebuffer being part of the GPU context of the primary
GPU, which is the case for all monitors no matter what GPU they are
connected to. Part of the reason for this is that a MetaGpu in practice
represents a mode setting device, and its CRTCs and outputs, are all
backed by real mode setting objects, while a virtual monitor is only
backed by a framebuffer that is tied to the primary GPU. Maybe this will
be reevaluated in the future, but since a virtual monitor is not tied to
any GPU currently, so is the case for the virtual mode setting objects.
The native rendering backend, including the cursor renderer, is adapted
to handle the situation where a CRTC does not have a GPU associated with
it; this in practice means that it e.g. will not try to upload HW cursor
buffers when the cursor is only on a virtual monitor. The same applies
to the native renderer, which is made to avoid creating
MetaOnscreenNative for views that are backed by virtual CRTCs, as well
as to avoid trying to mode set on such views.

Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

Add a flag to MetaSeatNative and MetaSeatImpl that tells it not to
attempt to create a libinput context. This is intended to be used when
mutter is to run headless, as in without any input devices other than
virtual ones.
Currently not hooked up.

The nested backend may need to have an input setting implementation,
while we don't want to change the host settings (re-using an X11 input
settings) we can add a dummy implementation, until something more
complex is needed.

The presentation-time protocol allows surfaces to get accurate
timestamps of when their contents were shown on screen.
This commit implements a stub version of the protocol which correctly
discards all presentation feedback objects (as if the surface contents
are never shown on screen). Subsequent commits will implement sending
the presented events to surfaces shown on screen.

To get meta-renderer-native.c down to a bit more managable size, and to
isolate "onscreen" functionality from other (at least partly), move out
the things related to CoglOnscreen to meta-onscreen-native.[ch].
A couple of structs are moved to a new shared header file, as
abstracting those types (e.g. (primary, secondary) render devices) will
be dealt with later.

This adds a MetaKmsImplDevice backend using atomic drmMode* API in constrast to
non-atomic legacy drmMode* API used in MetaKmsImplDeviceSimple.
This has various behavioral differences worth noting, compared to the
simple backend:
* We can only commit once per CRTC per page flip.
This means that we can only update the cursor plane once. If a primary
plane composition missed a dead line, we cannot commit only a cursor
update that would be presented earlier.
* Partial success is not possible with the atomic backend.
Cursor planes may fail with the simple backend. This is not the case
with the atomic backend. This will instead later be handled using API
specific to the atomic backend, that will effectively translate into
TEST_ONLY commits.
For testing and debugging purposes, the environment variable
MUTTER_DEBUG_ENABLE_ATOMIC_KMS can be set to either 1 or 0 to
force-enable or force-disable atomic mode setting. Setting it to some
other value will cause mutter to abort().

This commit consolidates DRM buffer management to the MetaDrmBuffer
types, where the base type handles the common functionality (such as
managing the framebuffer id using drmModeAdd*/RMFb()), and the sub types
their corresponding type specific behavior.
This means that drmModeAdd*/RmFB() handling is moved from meta-gpu-kms.c
to meta-drm-buffer.c; dumb buffer allocation/management from
meta-renderer-native.c.
