We currently reload animated backgrounds on timezone changes, but
there are other cases where the time can change unexpectedly and
the background no longer matches the time of day. One case we can
easily handle is when coming back from suspend, so do that.

The memory which MetaBackground resides is freed automatically, when its
wrapper object Background is freed by garbage collection. But because the
memory for MetaBackground is huge, changing the background or changing the
background mode repeatedly makes a lot of memory to be in use until garbage
collection runs.
This patch frees the MetaBackground object explicitly when its
MetaBackgroundActor is destroyed which is the moment that the memory in the
object is not used anymore.

Animated backgrounds are based on a start time in local time - in case
of a timezone change, that time is no longer accurate. To fix, we need
to either make BGSlideShow aware of timezone changes (and notify us to
update the animation), or just reload the animation - timezone changes
should be a rare event, so go with the simpler second option.

When loading several animations at the same time, the last call
overrides the result for all of them.
This commit caches all animations separately based on the source's
schemas.

Since the background rework, SystemBackground is no longer a transparent
actor that you have to stack on top of a solid background, it is an
opaque actor. Fix the color of the background actor, and remove places
where we were setting the background color underneath the system background
and expecting blending - in particular, we can always set no_clear_hint
on the stage.

MetaBackgroundCache doesn't itself use file watches, so when a image
that we are monitoring changes we need to purge it from the cache,
so that when we load it again we get the new image.

It was assumed that BackgroundSource objects were always destroyed
on monitor changes because the BackgroundManager objects that hold
references were destroyed, but sequencing of updating of different
BackgroundManager objects meant that was not the case.
Properly update any cached Background objects held by the
BackgroundSource on a change to the monitor layout; in particular this
means updating animations in case they are multi-resolution.
The code that cleaned up when a background actor was destroyed tried to access
the Background as backgroundActor.background._delegate but when the destroy
signal is emitted, the MetaBackgroundActor was already disposed and
backgroundActor.background NULL.
The rewrite of Mutter's background code (see bug 735637) requires
corresponding changes here - we no longer need to layer multiple
MetaBackgroundActors together.
The general strategy is that a BackgroundSource object is created
per GSettings schema, and keeps either one Background/MetaBackground pair,
or, for animation, a Background/Metabackground pair for each monitor.

The code that loads SHELL_BACKGROUND_IMAGE, which is used to load the
performance background was loading it in WALLPAPER mode, not ZOOM
mode. Zoom mode is what we use for the actual GNOME defaultiwallpaper
and what we want to test: the background will be scaled except when
the resolution matches the 2560x1440 default backgrounds.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735385
Performance testing was producing inconsistent values at different
times in the day since the GNOME default background is animated and
sometimes has a single layer, and sometimes two blended layers.
So we have consistent numbers, install a simple animated background
with GNOME Shell that has 40-year long transition ending in 2030,a
and set an environment variable in gnome-shell-perf-tool so that the
background is override with that background. (The background depends
on files installed by gnome-backgrounds; we assume that the person
running performance tests is doing so within the scope of a full
GNOME install.)

We must remove the old image from the cache, not the new one.
This was causing a leak of old (and expensive) background
images, and was causing errors at the end of animations, trying
to destroy the animated background.
When reacting to background settings changes, we may end up queuing
more than one load. The redundant backgrounds are expected to be
destroyed when the previous background has faded out; however since
commit 933f38390b, the tweened actor is the same for all
consecutive load operations and we end up with a single onComplete
handler, ergo a single destroyed actor.
As new backgrounds are always added to the bottom, we are not only
piling up additional background actors, but break changing backgrounds
more than once, as the correct background ends up being covered by
previously added redundant actors.
Fix this by destroying redundant actors right after loading rather
than waiting for the fade animation to complete.

If we have the following sequence:
cache.getImageContent({ filename: "foo", cancellable: cancellable1 });
cache.getImageContent({ filename: "foo", cancellable: cancellable2 });
cancellable1.cancel();
Then the second load will complete with "null" as its content, even though
it was never cancelled, and we'll see a blank image. Meanwhile, since the
second load simply appends to the list of callers for the second load,
cancellable2 does absolutely nothing: cancelling it won't stop the load,
and it will still receive onFinished handling.
To prevent this from happening, give the actual load operation its own
Gio.Cancellable, which is "ref-counted" -- only cancel it when all the other
possible callers cancel.

At the moment when a file is loaded, we iterate through the list of
pending file loads and ignore any unrelated to the file, then iterate
all the callers of the related file loads and finish them.
In fact, there can only ever be one pending file load related to the
file, and we already know it, so we can avoid the ugly nested loops.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722149
This commit moves the code around a bit such that the
caller gets allocated up front and then a file load is either
found or created to attach the caller to.
Functionally, the code is the same, it's just now factored in a way
that will make it easier to fix a bug with cancellation later.

Copying is actually a lightweight operation, so trying to avoid it just adds
code complexity for little gain.

Because we were setting this.background before calling .destroy(),
the call that was meant to destroy the old background was actually
destroying the new one!
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722787
If the background is already removed, or we're trying to remove bad content,
this is probably a bug in content accounting, so let us crash so we can fix
the bugs.

Stomping on local variables and trying to keep loop state isn't
too fun. Just use a new variable here so we aren't too confused
with what we're doing.

We don't have any better way of determining whether something is a slideshow
animation, so discriminate on the .xml filename instead of waiting for
gdk-pixbuf to determine whether it can load a file or not.

We connect to the changed signal in _init() but never actually disconnect from
it. The callback has a reference to "this" which results into the background
object not getting garbage collected.
Fix that leaks by disconnecting in _destroy()

This fixes a blue background being drawn when switching the monitors
configuration using hardware keys
(clone/multimonitor/external/internal).
The problem is that the shell gather all background loading requests
under the same meta_background_load_file_async call using one
GCancellable (the first one to come). So when the shell receives a
batch of 12 or so XRandr events, it creates 12 new background managers
which end up trying to load 12 times the same background picture. All
of these requests are batched into the same
meta_background_load_file_async using the first GCancellable received
on the first request. Unfortunately, when the first request is
cancelled by the following event indicating a new monitor setup, all
of the background picture requests are dropped on the floor, and
nothing gets loaded (hence the blue screen background).

Migration from old settings can result in a path instead of URI
there. This is technically invalid, but can easily recognize it
and avoid the crash.
