When rendering to a buffer that is not the stage view buffer, we can not
know where the buffer will be displayed on the screen. As a result we
also can not know what translation would need to be applied to culling.
This was causing glitches when the gnome-shell magnifier was applying
offscreen effects. ClutterOffscreenEffect causes MetaWindowGroup to be
rendered to an offscreen buffer at an offset, because it draws to a
slightly larger texture with an accordingly translated origin. This
translation then later is canceled out again when the offscreen buffer
is drawn. To meta_actor_painting_untransformed() however which only sees
the translation used when drawing to the buffer this looked like the
window group was being rendered at the offset. This then lead to
redraw_clip getting translated accordingly, resulting in wrong
coordinates used for culling.
Similarly this was leading to issues when taking area screenshots while
at 1x zoom.

We checked that the content size was appropriately painted in the stage,
but didn't take into account that the size of the sampled texture
region, meaning that when stage views were scaled, we'd think that we
would draw a texture scaled, as e.g. a 200x200 sized texture with buffer
scale 2 would have the size 100x100. When stage views were not scaled,
we'd apply a geometry scale meaning it'd end up as 200x200 anyway, thus
pass the check, but when stage views are scaled, it'd still be painted
as a 100x100 shaped texture on the stage, thus failing the
are-we-unscaled test.
Fix this by comparing the transformed paint size with the sampled size,
instead of the paint size again, when checking whether we are being
painted scaled or not. For example, when stage views are scaled, our
200x200 buffer with buffer scale 2, thus content size 100x100 will
transform to a 200x200 paint command, thus passing the test. For
non-scaled stage views, our 200x200 buffer with buffer scale 2 thus
content size 100x100 will also transform into a 200x200 paint command,
and will also pass the check, as the texture sample region is still
200x200.

Instead of users fetching it via `clutter_stage_get_redraw_clip()`, pass
it via the paint context. This is helpful as it is only valid during a
paint, making it more obvious that it needs to be handled differently
when there is no redraw clip (i.e. we're painting off-screen).

Some cullable implementation may have extra information about their
expected size. The main example here are surface actors which can be scaled
by geometry scale.
Add an API to overwrite the default size / untransformed check for such cases.

When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.

The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
Split X11 specific parts into MetaX11Display. This also required
changing MetaScreen to stop listening to any signals by itself, but
instead relying on MetaDisplay forwarding them. This was to ensure the
ordering. MetaDisplay listens to both the internal and external
monitors-changed signal so that it can pass the external one via the
redundant MetaDisplay(prev MetaScreen)::monitors-changed.

While MetaStage, MetaWindowGroup and MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton don't
appear explicitly in the public API, their gtypes are still exposed via
meta_get_stage_for_screen(), meta_get_*window_group_for_screen() and
MetaMonitorManager's parent type. Newer versions of gjs will warn about
undefined properties if it encounters a gtype without introspection
information, so expose those types to shut up the warnings.

We were compensating for a clone paint viewport offset even when we
were not in clone paniting mode. This would break painting if we offset
the viewport for some other reason for example as in the future stage
view painting.

It seems that when translated, paint_offset and actor_offset will always
be the same, so our translation of the clip group won't work. For now,
until I figure out what's going on here, just use the painting offset,
since that what seems to make sense to me.
I didn't write this code, though, so I don't know why the actor's
allocation was involved in this computation at all.
I tested briefly with clones (magnifier, manual cloning through the
looking glass) and couldn't find any other artifacts, so I'm going to do
this for now.
The comment explains it better, but Clutter tries to be smart and
repaint actors when their allocations change. Since the window group's
allocation changes when windows move around, this means that moving a
window will always cause a full-stage repaint, which is super slow.
Hack around this for now.
The painting_untransformed() function in MetaWindowGroup is useful
elsewhere, in particular if we want to check whether we can avoid
bilinear filtering when painting a texture 1:1.

Since the unredirected window MetaWindowActor is stacked on top, it
will naturally get culled out of the process, so we can remove the
special casing here. Unfortunately, with the way that the code is
currently structured, it's too difficult to actually prevent setting
the clip / visible regions if the window is redirected, so just let
those be set for unredirected windows for now.
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.

In the past, MetaWindowGroup was allocated the size of the screen and
painted the size of the screen because it contained the screen background,
but now we also have the "top window group" which contains only popup
windows, so the allocation doesn't properly reflect the paint bounds
of the window group. Compute the paint bounds accurately from the
children.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719669
Instead of hardcoded knowledge of certain classes in MetaWindowGroup,
create a generic interface that all actors can implement to get parts of
their regions culled out during redraw, without needing any special
knowledge of how to handle a specific actor.
The names now are a bit suspect. MetaBackgroundGroup is a simple
MetaCullable that knows how to cull children, and MetaWindowGroup is the
"toplevel" cullable that computes the initial two regions. A future
cleanup here could be to merge MetaWindowGroup / MetaBackgroundGroup so
that we only have a generic MetaSimpleCullable, and move the "toplevel"
cullability to be a MetaCullableToplevel.

For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
When we get a damage event we update the window by calling
meta_shaped_texture_update_area which queues a redraw on the actor.
We can avoid that for obscured regions by comparing the damage area to
our visible area.
This patch causes _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN messages to be not sent in some cases
where they should be sent; they will be added back in a later commit.

This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

actor_is_untransformed is a function meta-window-group uses to determine
if an actor is relatively pixel aligned and not contorted. It then
returns the coordinates of the actor.
In a subsequent commit will need the function in a different file, so
this commit separates it out.

meta_window_group_paint tries to carefully figure out which parts of the
scene it can avoid painting. One area it avoids painting is the region of
the screen occupied by an unredirected window (if there's one present).
When subtracting from the visible region, it gets the coordinate spaces
confused, and ends up subtracting the area at the wrong offset. Fix this
by translating the rectangle subtracted from the visible region.

Instead of getting the x/y of the MetaBackgroundActor with respect to the
parent, use the same logic that we do for windows, fixing the case
where there is a more complex transformation involved.
