64b2b4a7d4 layout: new file handling shell layout
Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have
Main.layoutManager provide that information instead. Move
Main._relayout() to LayoutManager, and have other objects connect to
the layout manager's 'monitors-changed' signal to know when the screen
geometry has changed.

821583acae Use gnome-shell-perf-helper to control windows during perf tests
* Run gnome-shell-perf-helper during performance tests
* Use MUTTER_WM_CLASS_FILTER to omit all other windows
* Add new Scripting methods: createTestWindow,
  waitTestWindows, destroyTestWindows
* Create a single 640x480 test window for testing overview
  animation performance.

e7220591ba [perf] Include monitor layout in performance reports
Add extra key, 'monitors' to performance reports which is an
array of strings:

 *<width>x<height>+<x>+<y>

Where * marks the primary monitor.

20d579e7d8 Add units to metrics definitions
Switch from having separate METRICS and METRIC_DESCRIPTIONS objects
in a perf module to a single METRICS array. This is done so the
perf module can define the units for each metric.

In addition to improving the output in the web interface, the purpose
of having units is to give some clue about how to pick from multiple
values from different runs. In particular, with the assumption that
"noise" on the system will increase run times, for time values we want
to pick the smallest values, while for "rate" values, we want to pick
the largest value.

bc57574094 Dump a complete report from a performance run, as JSON
When SHELL_PERF_OUTPUT is set, instead of just dumping out the metrics, dump
a more complete report with:

 - Event descriptions
 - Metric descriptions and value
 - Event log

Helper functions shell_perf_log_dump_events() and shell_perf_log_dump_log()
are added to ShellPerfLog to support this. The gnome-shell wrapper is adapted
to deal with the changed report format.

023a274e41 Allow running multiple iterations of a performance test
Add gnome-shell options:

  --perf-iters=ITERS"
    Numbers of iterations of performance module to run
  --perf-warmup
    Run a dry run before performance tests

Make a successful run of a performance test return 0 not non-zero,
and handle the difference between that and a 0-exit in normal
usage (meaning replaced) in the wrapper.

08b8b39a5d Add simple malloc statistics and metrics
Add some basic statistics for allocated memory based on mallinfo(),
and use that to define two metrics:

 usedAfterOverview: bytes used after the overview is shown once
 leakedAfterOverview: additional bytes used when the overview is
   shown a second time.

98c2247c1b Add a facility for automated performance measurement
We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.

This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.

The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.

The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.
