Mutter can play sounds in some contexts and also provides an API
for libmutter users to do so using libcanberra internally.
In some specific use cases of Mutter, we would like to not depend
on libcanberra and not have any sound playing feature by default.
The changes keeps the sound player API but make it no-op if the
sound_player feature is disabled to not make it possible to break
a gnome-shell build.

Previously, gsd-color handled adding color devices. It got information
about those via the GnomeRR API, which is part of libgnome-desktop.
libgnome-desktop itself got this information from the
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.GetResources() D-Bus method, implemented
by mutter.
Now, mutter itself will add all the monitor color devices itself,
without having to go via gsd-color.
We sometimes need to delete colord devices synchronously, in certain
race conditions when we add and remove devices very quickly (e.g. in
tests). However, we cannot use libcolord's 'sync' API variants, as it
has a nested takes-all main loop as a way to invoke the sync call. This
effectively means we end up sometimes not return from this function in a
timely manner, causing wierd issues.
Instead, create our own sync helper, that uses a separate context that
we temporarly push as the thread-default one.

The catch option makes test run via 'catch'[1], which will log
backtraces whenever an abort or segmentation fault happens in any of the
subprocesses. The aim is to enable this when running in CI to help
debugging crashes that only tend to happen in CI.
While it's possible to wrap the whole meson command in 'catch', doing so
doesn't cover the KVM tests, so this option is added instead that covers
both cases.

This launches Xvfb, using xvfb-run, and inside tests the following:
1. Launching 'mutter --x11' works
2. Launching a couple of X11 clients works (doesn't crash or result in
warnings)
3. Launching 'mutter --x11 --replace' works
4. Terminating works
It does this using a simple shell script.

Running meson test from the build directory in a jhbuild environment
picks up libraries which have been installed previously because
LD_LIBRARY_PATH takes precendence over RUNPATH. Make the linker generate
the RPATH tag again.

This aims to replace the x,y arguments in wl_surface.attach(); meaning
it can be used more sanely together with EGL, and at all when using
Vulkan.
The most common use case for the offset is setting the hotspot of DND
surfaces.

gnome-desktop is used to retrieve the monitor vendor name which in some
use cases is not needed as it brings a bunch of gnome-desktop unwanted
dependencies.
The change makes mutter fallback to an "Undefined" vendor name if it is
built without gnome-desktop

When using Xwayland-on-demand (default), if the (experimental) autoclose
features is enabled, we can rely on Xwayland's auto-terminate feature
instead of explicitly killing the Xwayland process.
With it, gone is the mechanism that was added to check the X11 clients
connected and their executable to check whether we can (safely) kill
Xwayland.

The connection to the Xserver for the X11 window manager part of mutter
even on Wayland may prevent the Xserver from shutting down.
Currently, what mutter does is to check the X11 clients still connected
to Xwayland using the XRes extension, with a list of X11 clients that
can be safely ignored (typically the GNOME XSettings daemon, the IBus
daemon, pulseaudio and even mutter window manager itself).
When there is just those known clients remaining, mutter would kill
Xwayland automatically.
But that's racy, because between the time mutter checks with Xwayland
the remaining clients and the time it actually kills the process, a new
X11 client might have come along and won't be able to connect to
Xwayland that mutter is just about to kill.
Because of that, the feature “autoclose-xwayland” is marked as an
experimental feature in mutter and not enabled by default.
Thankfully, the Xserver has all it takes to manage that already, and
is even capable of terminating itself once all X11 clients are gone (the
-terminate option on the command line).
With XFixes version 6, the X11 clients can declare themselves
"terminatable", so that the Xserver could simply ignore those X11
clients when checking the remaining clients and terminate itself
automatically.
Use that mechanism to declare mutter's own connection to the Xserver as
"terminatable" when Xwayland is started on demand so that it won't hold
Xwayland alive for the sole purpose of mutter itself.

gtk-doc support was taken out about six years ago, but never replaced.
Add support for the newer gi-docgen, which should hopefully encourage
both C and GJS users of these libraries to improve the reference.

These will be skipped by default, but can be run from a TTY for easier
debugging by doing:

This commit makes it possible to run test executables in a test
environment constructed of a virtual machine running the Linux kernel
with the virtual KMS driver enabled, and a mocked system environment
using meta-dbus-runner.py/python-dbusmock.
The qemu machine is configured to use 256M of memory, as the default
128M was not enough for the tests to pass.
Using qemu is also only made possible on x86_64; more changes are needed
for it to be runnable on aarch64, so add a warning if it was enabled on
any other architecture.

Since the CI pipeline now runs `meson dist` which includes a test
for an up-to-date NEWS entry, post-branch/release version bumps
have become unwieldy.
It's still useful to increase the API version right after branching
though, so return to bumping it manually and do so now.

Easily seeing the buildtype and debug status can be quite useful.
Gnome-Shell already has it.
And while on it, add a 'Directories' section for already existing
entries.
