fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/builds/whot/mutter'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /builds/whot/mutter

Currently, Meta/Cogl/Clutter makes use of cairo_rectangle_int_t despite
the existance of MetaRectangle.
In order to make MetaRectangle usable in Cogl/Clutter as well, Mtk would
provide such base types that are shared across the various private
libraries

F39 has been branched, so we can use it as base of our CI image
and reduce the number of custom built components.
This will also help if gjs adds support for import maps and
gnome-shell bumps its gjs dependency to use it, as F39
already includes the new mozjs version that gjs now uses.

Meson stopped using polkit for automatic priviledge elevation, and
will no longer attempt any priviledge elevation when not running
interactively.
Running the entire install command as root used to be problematic
in the past, as it could result in ownership changes of files in
the build directory that would result in build failures later,
but the aforementioned change leaves us with little choice.
Presumably those issues have been fixed, let's hope that's true.

Because `meson dist` will fail in that case:
```
Dist currently only works with Git or Mercurial repos
```
Being away from the git repo would only happen on non-marge CI runs of
'deploy' and only if the MR contains meson changes. So the bug went
unnoticed when introduced in !3083 because it didn't contain meson changes.
To fix it we just revert one line of !3083.

It turns out that gnome-shell's toolbox image is still broken
after commit 86b77f65e7.
Toolbox' entry point ensures that the calling user exists inside
the container, and makes their home available inside the container.
There are two ways the `useradd` command in our image may interfere
with that:
- by default, useradd uses the smallest available UID in the
normal user range (usually 1000); this is highly likely to
clash with the host user UID
- if the host's /home is a symlink (for instance to /var/home
on Silverblue), then toolbox recreates that layout inside the
container; it cannot do that if /home is already a non-empty
directory
Luckily we can address both issues without affecting the ability
to build and run tests as user: We can simply create the `meta-user`
with a UID and home directory that are unlikely to clash.

Setting up the image with a custom default user broke gnome-shell's
toolbox images. While running tests as non-root user seems like a
good idea, keeping people's development environment working should
be figured out first.
This partially reverts commit 69cc65d15f.
Keep the image to have a local user and use it to run tests so that
we can ensure that permissions are respected

We are now building and testing mutter as user, but the clone may happen
as root, before the docker image takes place.
This may create troubles to git, causing errors such as:
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at ...
And we can't fix this using safe.directory option because we have no
control on the system at this scope.
So, let's just handle the cloning manually so that the meta-user is
always the owner of the repository.
This fixes the dist job, but also other jobs that may fail because of
this reason.

Using the old replace syntax doesn't allow to extend dicts such as
variables or other values, but instead it replaces them.
So use a newer and safer syntax, given we don't need to replace any
parameter where used.

It's just closer to reality of an user session.
As per this:
- We need to bump the required CI template to use this feature.
- Use sudo in the actions that require it
- Replace pkexec with sudo (it wouldn't work otherwise)
- Ensure we don't rebuild during install not to break build dir
- Give permission to use /dev/kvm to our user (we do this during the
image creation because we don't have an user when $FDO_DISTRIBUTION_EXEC
happens)

We already test install as part of other jobs (such as
can-build-gnome-shell) and in general that's wrong because we may
add to the final install path artifacts that are required during tests,
hiding potential issues with meson test when those files are not
installed.

It's not required and makes things hard to maintain, we can just rely on
the fact we're in a shell and just use `set -e` to prevent any
unexpected failure to go unnoticed.

The template already does this at the end, so this step is
pointless in the best case.
When building the x86-64 image, we install additional packages
afterwards, so the repo metadata is downloaded again.
