The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart
itself.
meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.

Avoid populating *_VERSION constants through cflags in pkg-config-file
which could be overridden by the project using it. Properly prefix the
defines with META_ to make gi-scanner happy.
This uses David Herrmann's new logind sessions interface to retrieve
fds for input devices, rather than using a custom setuid helper to do
the management. This vastly simplifies the interface.
This requires systemd v210, at least.

It's been long enough. We can mandate support for these, at least
at build-time. The code doesn't actually compile without either
of these, so just consider that unsupported.
This has one regression: the basic touch support added by
Carlos Garnacho in 991c85f is now partially reverted, since
we ported to Clutter events for this. We'll need to either
port his changes to Clutter, or restructure event handling
in mutter directly.
Due to changes in gnome-common git, an implicit m4 directory is no
longer created during autogen. The attached patch explicitly and
correctly specifies a macro directory.
