Verify even more assumptions we make about logical monitor configs:
- Have a more explicit check that the monitor modes in the logical monitor are
all equal
- Complain if scale factor with physical layout mode is fractional
- Make sure that scale factor with logical layout mode actually scales to a
non-fractional width and height

We'll need a few of those things from the monitor config store soon, also it's
generally useful to have a prefix which makes it clear where functions are
defined.
So factor some things out into a new monitor-config-utils.c file.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3596>
Store and load the layout mode for each logical monitor configuration in
monitors.xml by introducing a new <layoutmode> element. The value of the
element can be either "logical" or "physical". The layout mode is also
made part of the monitor configuration key.
Right now this isn't doing a lot:
When no <layoutmode> is found on the config (this is the case with all
existing configs), we'll keep using the layout mode expected by the system,
without updating the config file.
When changing an existing, or introducing a new configuration, we'll now
store the current layout mode with the config though, and load it again
on the next start of mutter. This is still not problematic as long as
mutters expected layout mode doesn't change (eg. by turning on/off
"scale-monitor-framebuffers").
When the expected layout mode of mutter switches between
restarts, the monitor config is now still loaded but remains unused,
and mutter will create (and store) a new one with the other layout mode.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3596>
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.

We have meta_verify_logical_monitor_config() already, and it does a few checks that
meta_verify_monitors_config() doesn't do yet, so let's also call
meta_verify_logical_monitor_config() when verifying the whole config.
We'll rely on this being part of meta_verify_monitors_config() soon, because we'll
stop calling meta_verify_logical_monitor_config() from the config parser.

We forgot to check whether multiple groups of monitors are actually
all connected with each other, so fix that.

This means that it doesn't necessarily mean what transform / rotation
the hardware resource gets, e.g. it instead represents the logical
transform related to the configured mode. This allows us to postpone
checking the plane capabilities until later (as rotation capabilities
depends is a plane property), when a plane has been assigned.
This was in practice already handled when configuring the
transform-via-offscreen case, handled when creating the view, and the
mode setting configuration.

When we're configuring monitors, allow backends to add backend specific
assignments during resource assignment (mapping connectors and CRTCs
etc).
This will later allow the native backend's KMS monitor resources to
assign a primary plane and optionally a cursor plane during
configuration. This will then dictate what plane will be used for
primary plane updates, as well as cursor updates, until reconfigured
again.

When we e.g. generate switch configs (i.e. the ones from pressing the
Super+P or the switch-config key on laptops), try a bit harder to find a
"good" monitor scale.
With "good", it means pick a scale that was used in a previous
configuration. In practice, this means that if you for example have
configured your external monitor to use a specific scale, then pressed
e.g. "built in only", and then switched back to e.g. "external only" or
"linear", the generated configuration will use the scale that was
previously configured.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2479>
If two modes are roughly the same, they should probably use the same UI
scaling factor. I.e. for the same monitor, if a 4K mode was configured to
have a certain scaling factor, and we generate a new configuration with
a similar sized 4K mode, we should re-use the scale previously
configured; however if we e.g. go from a 4K mode to a FHD mode, we
shouldn't.
This allows implementing better hueristics when using the switch-config
feature, where we'd be less likely to loose the for a certain monitor
mode combination previously configured scaling factor.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2479>
This will eventually help with better hueristics for finding a good
scale. It currently doesn't change much, but the helper will later gain
more functionality that will also help when coming up with mirroring
configs.

The resulting logical monitor was eventually marked as primary anyway,
but without the config being marked as such, various primary properties
was not set e.g. the one on the MetaOutput. Also, tests would fail.

When creating the configuration for the builtin monitor we try to get
the panel configuration for the builtin panel, but we don't proceed if
that monitor is currently inactive.
This is fine when adjusting an active configuration to the current
device rotation, but it isn't correct when we want to create a new
configuration based on another where the monitor is configured but not
yet enabled.
So, only find the panel configuration without looking the current state
but ensuring that the passed configuration will enable it.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1233>
When we get an orientation event we don't care about keeping track of the
configuration changes, but actually we can consider the new configuration
just a variant of the previous one, adapted to floating device hardware
events, so we only want to apply it if possible, but we don't want to keep
a record of it for reverting capabilities.
Doing that would in fact, break the ability of reverting back to an actual
temporary or persistent configuration.
For example when device orientation events happen while we're waiting for
an user resolution change confirmation, we would save our new rotated
configuration in the history, making then impossible to revert back to
the original persistent one.
So in such case, don't keep track of those configurations in the history,
but only keep track of the last one as current, checking whether the
new current is child or sibling of the previously one.

When creating a configuration taking orientation into account we're using
the sensors orientation even if this is currently not used (for example
when an accelerator is available, but there's no touch screen).
This would cause to have a different behavior when configuration is
created and when we're loading a known configuration on startup.
So always honor whether the monitor's orientation is managed or not.

Primary monitor is just the same of the other monitors, but it has a
primary monitor flag. Since the computation of the scaling isn't
dependent anymore on the computed configuration we can now generate the
primary monitor config together with the others.
However, we've to ensure that the primary monitor is the first of the
configs list in order to properly compute the positioning.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/522>
Compute the monitor scaling in a separated function using the primary
monitor (not its config) and pass it to the creation function instead.
This will allow removing the special logic for the primary monitor.

Factorize the creation of a configuration inside one function that looks for
the primary monitor and the other monitors using the matching rules and
dispose them according to the chosen policy (checking if the result is valid
when using the suggested positioning).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/522>
Add a find_monitors function that allows to search for monitors that match
the MonitorMatchRule filter and use this to look for the primary monitor and
the other monitors that need to match the requested filter in order to be
configured.
Having just one function doing this kind of checks reduces the possibility
of unexpected results.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/522>
It could happen that monitors suggest to use coordinates that don't take
in consideration the scaling applied to one monitor, and such the
generated configuration is not valid because not all the monitors are
adjacent.
So enforce this check before accepting a suggested configuration as it
is.

While multiple built-in panels isn't actually supported in any
meaningful manner, if we would ever end up with such a situation, e.g.
due to kernel bugs[0], we shouldn't crash when trying to set an
'external only' without any external monitors.
While we could handle this with more degraded functionality (e.g. don't
support the 'switch' method of monitor configuration at all), handle it
by simply not trying to switch to external-only when there are no,
according to the kernel, external monitors available. This would e.g.
still allow betwene 'mirror-all', and 'linear' switches.
The crash itself was disguised as an arbitrary X11 BadValue error, due
to mutter trying to resize the root window to 0x0, as the monitor
configuration that was applied consisted of zero logical monitors, thus
was effectively empty.

It is linear config manager created when ensuring configuration.
However, the switch config is not set as LINEAR, but left as UNKNOWN.
This leads switch mode OSD always shows "Join Displays" icon, rather
than the next icon which is "External Only" after connect an external
display and press Super+P once at first time since mutter starts.
This patch moves switch config setting into
meta_monitor_config_manager_create_linear() (and the sibling functions)
to well prepare the monitors config and avoid missing settings.
This is a regression introduced by 149e4d6934.

The ID and name are just moved into the instance private, while the rest
is moved to a `MetaCrtcModeInfo` struct which is used during
construction and retrieved via a getter. Opens up the possibility to
add actual sub types.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
The output info is established during construction and will stay the
same for the lifetime of the MetaOutput object. Moving it out of the
main struct enables us to eventually clean up the MetaOutput type
inheritence to use proper GObject types.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
MetaCrtcInfo and MetaOutputInfo did not represent information about
MetaCrtc and MetaOutput, but the result of the monitor configuration
assignment algorithm, thus rename it to MetaCrtcAssignment and
MetaOutputAssignment.
The purpose for this is to be able to introduce a struct that actually
carries information about the CRTCs and outputs, as retrieved from the
backend implementations.

When closing the lid of a laptop, we reconfigure all the monitors in order
to update the CRTCs and (if enabled) the global UI scaling factor.
To do this, we try first to reuse the current configuration for the usable
monitors, but if we have only monitor enabled and this one is on the laptop
lid we just end up creating a new configuration where the primary monitor is
the laptop one (as per find_primary_monitor() in MetaMonitorConfigManager),
but ignoring the user parameters.
In case the user selected a different resolution / scaling compared to the
default one, while the laptop lid is closed we might change the monitors
layout, causing applications to rescale or reposition.
To avoid this, when creating the monitors configuration from the current
current state, in case we have only one monitor available and that one is
the laptop panel, let's just reuse this configuration.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1200
The CRTC level transform (i.e. not necessarily the one set on the
hardware) is what is relevant for calculating the layout the CRTC will
have on the stage, so only use the one that can be handled by the
hardware for the CRTC assignment.
This makes the CRTC layout valid for tiled monitors.
