Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

Prior to the DisplayConfig merge, we would set _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS
to (unsigned)-1 when unset. After that, we would have invalid
reads inside meta_screen_monitor_index_to_xinerama_index() (called
with -1).
The way I read the specification, the proper way to indicate
that the window is back to fullscreen on all monitors is to
remove the property, so do that.
Also, add an assertion that meta_screne_monitor_index_to_xinerama_index()
is doing the right thing.

We want to remove a bunch of auxilliary duties from the MetaWindowActor
and MetaSurfaceActor, including some details of how culling is done.
Move the unobscured region culling code to the MetaShapedTexture, which
helps the actor become "more independent".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
When we traversed down to reset the culling state, previously we
would just skip any actors that wanted culling. In order to properly
reset the unobscured_region before painting, we need to traverse down
to these places as well. Do this by calling cull_out with NULL regions
for both arguments, and adapt existing cull_out implementations to
match.

It seems that this code is trying to transform from "surface coordinates"
(the size of texture that's being displayed) to "actor coordinates"
(the actor's allocation), but I can't find any place where the two are
different. As such, let's just go back to using "surface coordinates"
everywhere and see what breaks.
This is considered "undefined" by upstream. Right now GTK+ does this
a lot, so we shouldn't crash. Let's make them crash instead and send
them an error instead.
The code that prevents the creation of multiple MonitorInfos for clones
wasn't working due to using the wrong index when getting the already
created info so fix that to use the correct one.

Use our new "surface_mapped" field to delay the showing of XWayland clients
until we have associated together the window's XID and the Wayland surface ID.
This ensures that when we show this window to the compositor, it will properly
use the Wayland surface for rendering, rather than trying to use COMPOSITE and
crash.

The goal here is to make MetaWindow represent a toplevel, managed window,
regardless of if it's X11 or Wayland, and build an abstraction layer up.
Right now, most of the X11 code is in core/ and the wayland code in wayland/,
but in the future, I want to move a lot of the X11 code to a new toplevel, x11/.
