The new CLUTTER_FRAME_CLOCK_STATE_SCHEDULED_NOW state is almost
identical to CLUTTER_FRAME_CLOCK_STATE_SCHEDULED, with one important
difference being that it avoids updates from being repeatedly
rescheduled "now" when multiple calls to
clutter_frame_clock_schedule_update_now() are done before the source
is actually dispatched.
Such repeated calls to schedule an update "now" may actually postpone
the dispatch if the CPU is very busy and the source dispatch is
delayed, defeating the purpose of scheduling a frame "now".
It also allows rescheduling "now" when the frame clock is uninhibited
after being inhibited while an update was scheduled "now". This may
be important in cases where the frame clock is inhibited for very
short periods in which it would otherwise lose the state of being
scheduled "now".
Scenarios such as this would become more common with the introduction
of variable refresh rate since it makes scheduling "now" a commonplace
occurrence.

Currently, the paint-volumes/redraws debug flags displays the actor
debug
names on top of the paint volume making it very unusable. Especially
that you can easily get the relevant actor from looking glass.
The motivation is to reduce the usage of pango (through the text node)
in order to possibly move all the fonts bits to gnome shell

This removes an incorrect implicit assumption in
calculate_next_update_time_us() that a frame may only be scheduled
once in the duration of a refresh cycle. It accomplishes this by
setting last_next_presentation_time_us on presentation feedback
instead of calculating it every time an update is scheduled.
Specifically, it corrects the intended scheduling logic in scenarios
like the following, when all of the below occur in the context of a
single refresh cycle:
1. Frame update (1) is scheduled normally, and
"is_next_presentation_time_valid" is set to TRUE
2. Frame update (1) is dispatched but ends up being "empty" (no
presentation necessary)
3. Frame update (2) is scheduled "now" and
"is_next_presentation_time_valid" is set to FALSE
4. Frame update (2) is dispatched but ends up being "empty" (no
presentation necessary)
5. Frame update (3) is scheduled normally, and since
"is_next_presentation_time_valid" is set to FALSE, the
"early presented event" logic is unintentionally skipped in
calculate_next_update_time_us().
6. Frame update (3) is dispatched and ends up being a "non-empty"
update, but its update time was calculated incorrectly because
some logic was skipped.
Scenarios such as this would become more common with the introduction
of variable refresh rate since it makes scheduling "now" a commonplace
occurrence.

Calculate the frame deadline in ClutterFrameClock's
calculate_next_update_time_us() rather than in MetaWaylandCompositor's
on_after_update().
The specifics of the deadline calculation for a given frame should be
implementation detail of the frame clock and and remain internal to
allow extensibility.
This extensibility is specifically useful for scenarios where a
different deadline calculation is needed due to alternative frame
scheduling logic, such as for VRR.
No change in behavior.

In various public APIs, Clutter used to return a PangoDirection
while we have a text direction enum defined in Clutter.
This allows us to drop pango dependency from meta making it specific
to cogl-pango & clutter

Since StDrawingArea in gnome-shell is the only user of ClutterCanvas,
it is possible to move ClutterCanvas completely out of Mutter to
gnome-shell. This allows to remove another Cairo dependency from
Mutter.
This patch removes ClutterCanvas code from Mutter.

This patch makes clutter_actor_create_texture_paint_node() function

On one hand this avoids crashes early after startup if the very first
pointer event is a scroll event, since the stage did not pick an actor
for the pointer device yet.
On the other hand, scroll events have some likelihood to change the
actor under the pointer even though it doesn't move. We still want to
cross towards the new actor under the pointer ASAP, without waiting
for later events.
