In order to reliably manage the reference count of the user data passed
to page flip listeners - being the stage view - make the ownership of
this data travel through the different objects that take responsibility
of the next step.
Initially this is the MetaKmsPageFlipListener that belongs to a
MetaKmsUpdate.
When a page flip is successfully queued, the ownership is transferred to
a MetaKmsPageFlipClosure that is part of a MetaKmsPageFlipData. In the
simple impl device, the MetaKmsPageFlipData is passed to
drmModePageFlip(), then returned back via the DRM event. In the future
atomic impl device, the MetaKmsPageFlipData is stored in a table, then
retrieved when DRM event are handled.
When the DRM events are handled, the page flip listener's interface
callbacks are invoked, and after that, the user data is freed using the
passed GDestroyNotify function, in the main context, the same as where
the interface callbacks were called.
When a page flip fails, the ownership is also transferred to a
MetaKmsPageFlipClosure that is part of a MetaKmsPageFlipData. This page
flip data will be passed to the main context via a callback, where it
will discard the page flip, and free the user data using the provided
GDestroyNotify.
Note that this adds back a page flip listener type flag for telling the
KMS implementation whether to actively discard a page flip via the
interface, or just free the user data. Avoiding discarding via the
interface is needed for the direct scanout case, where we immediately
need to know the result in order to fall back to the composite pipeline
if the direct scanout failed. We do in fact also need active discard via
the interface paths, e.g. in the simple impl device when we're
asynchronously retrying a page flip, so replace the ad-hoc discard paths
in meta-renderer-native.c and replace them by not asking for no-discard
page flip error handling.

This makes "power save" (i.e. when you make a monitor go into power save
mode, or make it come out of power save mode), a per device action when
turning on power saving (power save being set to 'off'), and implicitly
handled when turning off power saving (power save being set to 'on')
when doing a mode set.
This is needed as with atomic mode setting, the configuration of DPMS
(Display Power Management Signaling), is replaced by directly turning on
or off CRTCs, and via the CRTC drm properties. Thus in order to handle
both with a common API, make that API high level enough for both cases
being covered.

When we e.g. try to post an direct client buffer scanout update, it
might arbitrarily fail; when this happen we still will want to post the
rest of the update when we try again after having composited the primary
plane. To do this, add a way to preserve the metadata of an update if it
failed, only dropping the failed plane assignments. This involves
unlocking a previously locked MetaKmsUpdate, so that e.g. a new primary
plane can be assigned.

Sealing is a one way operation, but in the next commit, the "seal" will
be broken, so to avoid missusing the "seal" terminology, rename related
methods and variables to use the term "lock" instead. E.g.
meta_update_is_sealed() is now meta_update_is_locked().

Something might want to affect the next update that is going to be
posted, but without posting it immediately. For example, changing the
cursor might need to wait for mode setting. Make it possible to get
feedback from posting the update, in order to gracefully handle any
errors.
Note, the API for notifiying about results take out the result listener
from the update, and notifies them in an open coded for loop. The reason
for this is that in the next commit we'll sometimes reuse updates, and
we only want notify about the results once.

Page flipping shouldn't necessarily be an actively requested action, but
happen implicitly depending on the given state. Thus, change the "page
flip" update into adding listeners for page flip feedback instead.

This will later make it possible to pass cursor plane assignments,
together with a complete update including the primary plane, but not
failing the whole update if just processing the cursor plane failed.

If posting an update resulted in an immediate error, don't communicate
this failure using the page flip feedback callbacks, but directly as a
return value.
This makes it possible for the direct client buffer scanout path not to
pass around flags triggering this behavior, meaning we can handle such
direct scanouts better.

Custom page flips are meant to allow using e.g. EGLStream API to
indirectly trigger page flip queueing, when the KMS API cannot be used
directly. This is really something that is specific to a device, so
instead of making part of the page flip API, make it a configuration of
the update itself.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
For now feedbacks from an update are combined, meaning we might lose
error information. The feedback API may have to be reconsidered and
redesigned when planes gets a more front seat position.
This means we need to avoid trying to post updates if we're in power
save mode, as it may be empty.
Note that this is an intermediate state during refactoring that aims to
introduce atomic mode setting support, and we'll stop combining
feedbacks completely in the future.

Instead of telling MetaKmsConnector fill a MetaKmsUpdate with connector
property changes, make the update itself aware of the changes, making
the impl side translate that to property changes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
Instead of having MetaKmsPlaneAssignment carry a low level property
list, set the actual state change, and then have the implementation
translate that into the necessary property changes.

Even when a direct client buffer has a compatible format, stride and
modifier for direct scanout, drmModePageFlip() may still fail sometimes.
From testing, it has been observed that it may seemingly randomly fail
with ENOSPC, where all subsequent attempts later on the same CRTC
failing with EBUSY.
Handle this by falling back to flipping after having composited a full
frame again.

The transactional KMS API has been modelled after atomic KMS. Atomic KMS
currently doesn't support forwarding cursor hotspot metadata, thus it
was left out of the transactional KMS API having the user set the simply
create a plane assigment with the cursor sprite assigned to a cursor
plane using regular coordinates.
This, however, proved to be inadequate for virtual machines using
"seamless mouse mode" where they rely on the cursor position to
correspond to the actual cursor position of the virtual machine, not the
cursor plane. In effect, this caused cursor positions to look "shifted".
Fix this by adding back the hotspot metadata, right now as a optional
field to the plane assignment. In the legacy KMS implementation, this is
translated into drmModeSetCursor2() just as before, while still falling
back to drmModeSetCursor() with the plane coordinates, if either there
was no hotspot set, or if drmModeSetCursor2() failed.
Eventually, the atomic KMS API will learn about hotspots, but when
adding our own atomic KMS backend to the transacitonal KMS API, we must
until then still fall back to legacy KMS for virtual machines.

A cursor plane can now be assigned, and for the simple KMS
implementation, it'll translate into drmModeSetCursor() and
drmModeMoveCursor() calls.
When assignments failed, the cursor planes that failed to be assigned
are communicated via the feedback object.

The current API as all synchronous, so they can be made to return
feedback immediately. This will be needed for the cursor renderer which
needs to know whether it should fall back to OpenGL cursor rendering.

This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for
setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From
an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current
implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state
non-atomically.
The API consists of various buliding blocks:
* MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level
handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to
set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set
connector properties.
* MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane.
Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In
the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive
the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping.
This also means various high level changes:
State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying
DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in
one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as
mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far.
From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially
always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in
the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but
postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock).
Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is
notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API.
EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being
atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g.
nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping
the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c.
Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from
meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching
meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the
impl context.
While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the
EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the
frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries
have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This
effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on
the file descriptor for pending page flips.
