Currently unused, but it's intention is to use as a initial refresh rate
for a with the stage view associated frame clock. It defaults to 60 Hz
if nothing sets it, but the native backend sets it to the associated
CRTCs current mode's refresh rate.

Will be used for logging to identify what view a log entry concerns. For
the native and nested backend this is the name of the output the CRTC is
assigned to drive; for X11 it's just "X11 screen", and for the legacy
"X11 screen" emulation mode of the nested backend it's called "legacy
nested".
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1237
"Legacy" is a misleading name, it's just how the native backend and the
X11 backend behaves differently. Instead rename it to 'add_view()' and
add the sanity check to the caller.

Prior to this commit the stage was drawn separately for each logical
monitor. This allowed to draw different parts of the stage with
different transformations, e.g. with a different viewport to implement
HiDPI support.
Go even further and have one view per CRTC. This causes the stage to
e.g. draw two mirrored monitors twice, instead of using the same
framebuffer on both. This enables us to do two things: one is to support
tiled monitors and monitor mirroring using the EGLStreams backend; the
other is that it'll enable us to tie rendering directly to the CRTC it
will render for. It is also a requirement for rendering being affected
by CRTC state, such as gamma.
It'll be possible to still inhibit re-drawing of the same content
twice, but it should be implemented differently, so that it will still
be possible to implement features requiring the CRTC split.

The "backends: Move MetaOutput::crtc field into private struct"
accidentally changed the view transform calculation code to assume that
"MetaCrtc::transform" corresponds to the transform of the CRTC; so is
not the case yet; one must calculate the transform from the logical
monitor, and check whether it is supported by the CRTC using
meta_monitor_manager_is_transform_handled(). This commit restores the
old behaviour that doesn't use MetaCrtc::transform when calculating the
view transform.

Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet LCD panels while
they should use a landscape panel, resoluting in a 90 degree rotated
picture.
Newer kernels detect this and rotate the fb console in software to
compensate. These kernels also export their knowledge of the LCD panel
orientation vs the casing in a "panel orientation" drm_connector property.
This commit adds support to mutter for reading the "panel orientation"
and transparently (from a mutter consumer's pov) fixing this by applying
a (hidden) rotation transform to compensate for the panel orientation.

Turn MetaOutput into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaOutputs from using an array, to using a GList.

To support fractional scaling, change the stage view scale to be a
float instead of an int. Also change the places where it is retrieved
and used when scaling things.

Make the nested backend emulate how the real backends actually draw,
i.e. by drawing each CRTC separately. This makes it possible to test
different configuration paths that can take place on different
hardware, without having said hardware.
For example, by setting MUTTER_DEBUG_TILED_DUMMY_MONITORS and
MUTTER_DEBUG_NESTED_OFFSCREEN_TRANSFORM to "1", one can test a system
with MST (tiled) monitors where the GPU doesn't support some transform.

Always draw the stage to an offscreen framebuffer when using the nested
backend, so that we more emulate things more similarly to how it works
real-world, i.e. it'll work the way whether stage views are enabled or
not.

Keep track of the logical monitor transform. When a logical monitor is
transformed, all of its monitors are also transformed in the same way.
A logical monitor can either be transformed on the CRTC level, or using
an offscreen intermediate buffer. In both cases will the logical
monitor be transformed, but only in the latter will the view be
transformed.
MetaCrtcs::transform currently does not represent whether the CRTC is
configured to be transformed or not; only when the backend can handle
it does it correctly correspond to the actual CRTC configuration. This
is intended to change with MetaMonitorConfigManager.
