Since now we don't set the swap throttled value based
on sync-to-vblank, we can effectively remove it from
Cogl. Throttling swap buffers in Cogl is as much a
historical artifact as sync-to-vblank. Furthermore,
it doesn't make sense to disable it on a compositor,
which is the case with the embedded Cogl.
In addition to that, the winsys vfunc for updating
whenever swap throttling changes could also be removed,
since swap throttling is always enabled now.
Removing it means less code, less branches when running,
and one less config option to deal with.
This also removes the micro-perf test, since it doesn't
make sense for the case where Cogl is embedded into the
compositor.

This commit includes following fixes for a few shell scripts:
1. Follow the best practice of quoting variables everywhere unless they
are used in places where word-splitting and globbing can never happen.
2. Replace `command` with $(command) because the latter is easier to use
and read.
3. Don't use "$@" in places expecting a string because it is an array
of strings instead of a single string.
Bash is not always installed in /bin and we should not hardcode the path
of it in source code which is expected to be built on many operating
systems and distributions.
Since most scripts using #!/bin/bash here doesn't have any bashism,
they can be converted to #!/bin/sh instead of using /usr/bin/env trick.
Meson uses the 'dependencies' field to determine and
parallelize build steps, but that isn't entirely true
with 'link_with'; this might cause a race condition
when generating header files while trying to build
them.
Fix that by only using 'dependencies' instead of 'link_with'.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
There are different unit-tests file generated containing lists of tests
the test-runner.sh should run. Running run-tests.sh read the unit-tests
in the current directory, which is inconvenient to do when using meson.
In order to minimize the amount of breakage, while at the same time
making it easier to make backward incompatible changes needed to
continue turning libmutter into a capable Wayland compositor, make the
libmutter and friends (libmutter-clutter, libmutter-cogl*) parallel
installable by adding a version number to the name. This changes
various filenames, for example what previously was libmutter.so is now
libmutter-0.so (assuming the version for now is 0), and
libmutter-clutter-1.0.so is now libmutter-clutter-0.so. The pkg-config
filenames and GObject introspection has been renamed to reflect this as
well.
This enables a downstream compositor rely on a specific version of the
libmutter API, while gracefully handling API/ABI changes by having to
update to the new version at their own pace.

Mutter (and libmutter users) are the only users of this version of
cogl, and will more or less only use the cogl-1.0, cogl-2.0 and cogl
experimental API variants, and having the possibility of having
different API versions of the same API depending on what file includes
it is error prone and confusing. Lets just remove the possibility of
having different versions of the same API.

In cogl use cogl-config.h and in clutter use clutter-build-config.h. We
can't use clutter-config.h in clutter because its already used and
installed.
