Doğukan Korkmaztürk dc2b2e379b screen-cast-stream: Add explicit modifier support
This change adds modifier-aware screencasting support to Mutter.
Implicit modifier support is kept for backward compatibility and the
code fallbacks to implicit modifiers in case any new functionality added
for explicit modifier support fails.

The advertised modifiers are retrieved by a call to
eglQueryDmaBufModifiersEXT() function. The "external only" modifiers are
excluded as Mutter uses the buffers created with the explicit modifiers
as renderbuffers. Support for implicit modifiers is checked with a test
allocation since there are drivers that do not support them.

This change also removes various implicit modifier support checks that
disable DMA-BUF screen casting support globally as they are no longer
needed. DMA-BUF support for screencasting is determined by the available
formats and modifiers case-by-case now.

It also effectively enables DMA-BUF screencasting on NVIDIA hardware as
well since GBM buffer objects with linear modifiers are no longer used
by default to create a renderbuffer object for screencasting.

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.
