Robert Mader 8cfbdb4313 wayland/surface: Add fallback for get_highest_output_scale
If we don't have a monitor for a surface - e.g. because the surface is
not mapped yet - return the highest scale of all outputs. This makes us
send a preferred scale before a client draws its first frame. The highest
scale is always correct in single monitor cases and arguably a good
option otherwise as scaling down usually looks better than scaling up.

Note that this is currently only used by the fractional scale protocol,
but will also be used for the core `send_preferred_scale()` once we
implement it.

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
