It is intended to replace using GetResources() and ChangeBacklight().
It moves from a normalized 1-100 numbers, to directly exposing the
hardware. This more closely maps to how gsd-backlight.c in
gnome-settings-daemon normally works, and simplifies the API a bit to
not have to deal with rounding issues.
There is still no KMS uAPI for this, so it still only hooks up to
XRANDR. Being private API, it doesn't try very hard to predict how the
KMS uAPI will look. When that day comes, it will likely need some
adaptations.
Part of the motivation here is to get something for gsd-backlight.c to
use where it can work more similarly to how the current common case
(sysefs) works, while attempting to migrate away from libgnome-rr.

It's now a signal emitted when `meta_output_set_backlight()` is called.
It is also no longer normalized between 1 and 100; that is now handled
done via the D-Bus API layer.

This replaces the `legacy-ui-scaling-factor` entry in
`org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig`, with the motivation being to no longer
expose X11 specific state via the monitor configuration API.

We'll introduce some new migration code with the next few commits to introduce
a layout_mode property in monitors.xml. This will be significantly easier
without keeping around the old monitor migration code, so drop it.

by executing `global.context.get_debug_control().exported = true`.
This makes it possible to get access to the debug service without having
to start with `--enable-debug`.

Allow compositing in a linear color space and do so either when forcing
it via the debug controls D-Bus API, or when the experimental HDR mode
is enabled.
This relies on paint nodes etc to actually transform everything into the
linear target color space, which isn't done yet, so enabling it right
now will cause a broken result. Yet, introduce this now, so that
painting can be fixed piece by piece.
Linear blending is automatically enabled on monitors where HDR is
enabled, as this makes it possible to use an linear color space when
blending content from different color spaces with different transfer
functions.
Linear blending requires extra precision, i.e. 16 bit per channel
in the intermediate buffer due how the values are distributed,
so only enable the experimental HDR mode if the Cogl context supports
half float formats.
By default, no intermadiate linear offscreen framebuffer is used.
To test, do e.g.
./tools/debug-control.py --toggle ForceLinearBlending

By turning a macro that exists in the codebase to a proper

instead of using a region for it contains_point api...

When a virtual stream is destroyed, its respective virtual monitor is
destroyed too. When the virtual monitor is destroyed, mutter reloads
the monitor manager.
However, at this point, the virtual stream is not completely destroyed
yet. The viewport of the virtual monitor still exists at this point and
when the monitor manager reloads, it will try to fetch the logical
monitor of the now destroyed virtual monitor, which will fail and thus
gnome-shell will run into a segfault.
Fix this situation by reloading the monitor manager in an idle callback.
When the monitor manager reloads, the virtual monitor is completely
gone, since the viewport of the virtual monitor is destroyed after the
virtual monitor itself.

It's hard to tell why turning on HDR mode failed without these log
messages. It could be missing support in the sink (EDID/DisplayID) or
missing support in the driver/display hardware (connector properties) or
just a failure turning it on.

We can change power save mode for two reasons: gsd-power told us to, or
we saw a hotplug event. Sometimes it's useful to be able to make the
distinction to why a power save mode changed, so add a reason to the
signal.

The unknown color space's only purpose is to signal that the current KMS
state has a unknown color space set. It is not one of the color spaces
that can be set. We already only try to set a color space if the default
color space is supported so we should use the default color space as a
fallback instead of the unknown color space.

We might get told to restore the old monitor configuration by the
monitor configuration prompt, in case the user pressed "revert" or
equivalent. This might be in response to a button press, and those
happen during frame clock dispatch. If we would restore an old
configuration during dispatch, it means we would reconfigure the
monitors including their stage views while dispatching, which means we'd
destroy the frame clock while it's dispatching.
Doing that causes problems, as the frame clock isn't expecting to be
destroyed mid-function. Specifically,
We'd enter
clutter_frame_clock_dispatch (clutter-frame-clock.c:811)
frame_clock_source_dispatch (clutter-frame-clock.c:839)
g_main_dispatch (gmain.c:3454)
g_main_context_dispatch (gmain.c:4172)
g_main_context_iterate.constprop.0 (gmain.c:4248)
g_main_loop_run (gmain.c:4448)
meta_context_run_main_loop (meta-context.c:482)
main (main.c:663)
which would first call
_clutter_process_event (clutter-main.c:920)
_clutter_stage_process_queued_events (clutter-stage.c:757)
handle_frame_clock_before_frame (clutter-stage-view.c:1150)
which would emit e.g. a button event all the way to a button press
handler, which would e.g. deny the new configuration:
restore_previous_config (meta-monitor-manager.c:1931)
confirm_configuration (meta-monitor-manager.c:2866)
meta_monitor_manager_confirm_configuration (meta-monitor-manager.c:2880)
meta_plugin_complete_display_change (meta-plugin.c:172)
That would then regenerate the monitor configuration and stage view
layout, which would destroy the old stage view and frame clock.
meta_stage_native_rebuild_views (meta-stage-native.c:68)
meta_backend_native_update_screen_size (meta-backend-native.c:457)
meta_backend_sync_screen_size (meta-backend.c:266)
meta_backend_monitors_changed (meta-backend.c:337)
meta_monitor_manager_notify_monitors_changed (meta-monitor-manager.c:3595)
meta_monitor_manager_rebuild (meta-monitor-manager.c:3683)
meta_monitor_manager_native_apply_monitors_config (meta-monitor-manager-native.c:343)
meta_monitor_manager_apply_monitors_config (meta-monitor-manager.c:704)
After returning back to the original clutter_frame_clock_dispatch()
frame, various state in the frame clock will be gone and we'd crash.

This adds a new 'experimental-hdr' string property to the MonitorManager
which can be changed from looking glass.
Currently when the string equals 'on', HDR (PQ, Rec2020) will be enabled
on all monitors which support it. In the future support for more
transfer functions and color spaces as well as HDR metadata can be
added.

The previous logic tried to keep the position of the top left corner of
the window relative to the top left corner of the monitor. This allowed
the window to move out of the target monitor. This change keeps the
proportions of the distance between the window and the monitor borders
instead if possible. Otherwise it keeps the relative position of the
center of the window clamped to [0,1] to make sure the window lands on
the right output.
This also slightly changes what monitor is considered to be on: the
monitor which contains the center of the window and, if the center is on
no monitor, the monitor wich overlaps the most with the window.
