This makes it possible to use udev even for backends which are not
native. Specifically we want to start controling backlights in mutter
which has to happen for both native and X11.

Instead of testing headless start using the dummy backend, do so with
the real native backend, and use the drm-mock library instead to emulate
monitors being disconnected at startup.

MetaBackend can now show whether it is in headless mode or not
using a vfunc is_headless.
Fallback of is_headless returns FALSE.
MetaBackendNative implements is_headless returning its
is_headless property.

The intention with KMS abstraction is to hide away accessing the drm
functions behind an API that allows us to have different kind of KMS
implementations, including legacy non-atomic and atomic. The intention
is also that the code interacting with the drm device should be able to
be run in a different thread than the main thread. This means that we
need to make sure that all drm*() API usage must only occur from within
tasks that eventually can be run in the dedicated thread.
The idea here is that MetaKms provides a outward facing API other places
of mutter can use (e.g. MetaGpuKms and friends), while MetaKmsImpl is
an internal implementation that only gets interacted with via "tasks"
posted via the MetaKms object. These tasks will in the future
potentially be run on the dedicated KMS thread. Initially, we don't
create any new threads.
Likewise, MetaKmsDevice is a outward facing representation of a KMS
device, while MetaKmsImplDevice is the corresponding implementation,
which only runs from within the MetaKmsImpl tasks.
This commit only moves opening and closing the device to this new API,
while leaking the fd outside of the impl enclosure, effectively making
the isolation for drm*() calls pointless. This, however, is necessary to
allow gradual porting of drm interaction, and eventually the file
descriptor in MetaGpuKms will be removed. For now, it's harmless, since
everything still run in the main thread.

Move finding, opening and managment of the KMS file descriptor to
MetaMonitorManagerKms. This means that the monitor manager creation can
now fail, both if more than one GPU with connectors is discovered, or
if finding or opening the primary GPU fails.

Introduce two new clutter backends: MetaClutterBackendX11 and
MetaClutterBackendNative. They are so far only wrap ClutterBackendX11
and ClutterBackendEglNative respectively, but the aim is to move things
from the original clutter backends when needed.
