This eliminates the need for any render node or device nodes, thus can
be used without any graphics hardware available at all, or with a
graphics driver without any render node available.
The surfaceless mode currently requires EGL_KHR_no_config_context to
configure the initial EGL display.
This also means we can enable the native backend tests in CI, as it
should work without any additional privileges.

With this commit, it's possible to run mutter without being DRM master.
It's not yet possible to add virtual monitors, but one can for example
already add virtual input devices.
This currently doesn't try to hook up to any logind session, thus will
not have a real seat assigned. Currently it's hard coded to "seat0".
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1698>
Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

Make it possible to pass --headless as a command line argument in order
to turn the native backend "headless". This currently doesn't do
anything, but the intention is that it should not use logind nor KMS,
and work completely headless with only virtual outputs.

Suspending might have changed the CRTC configuration, turning some off,
some on, etc. We need to update our internal representation of this
state, so that we know how to reconfigure upon resuming, e.g. what CRTCs
to turn off again.

This means backend implementations can have more control of the order of
how things are destroyed. To be precise, this will, in the next commit,
allow us to destroy the logind integration after the clutter backend
thus the libinput owning seat, that uses the logind integration to
release input devices.

Make it impossible to add individual includes of input thread objects.
This must go through meta-input-thread.h now, which should be enough
to make anyone think it twice.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

Push it a little bit down to the MetaSeatNative. As both the UI thread
and the input thread are interested in dealing with the xkb_keymap and
it is not meant to be used in different threads, keep 2 separate copies
around.
The keyboard map will always be set from the UI thread, so the xkb_keymap
owned by the MetaSeatNative (owned by the UI thread) can be considered
canonical.

Banish MetaInputSettings from MetaBackend "public" API, it's now meant to
spend the rest of its days in the backend dungeons, maybe hanging
off a thread.
MetaInputMapper replaces all external uses.

Different devices may get standalone cursor renderers, add this API
to adapt slowly to this. The meta_backend_get_cursor_renderer() call
still exists, but shortcuts to the mouse pointer's renderer (as it
actually did before).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
xkb recently gained support for user-specified keymaps, which means we
can no longer assume that the configuration data is necessarily fully
complete or correct; and the configuration language is quite a labyrinth,
so it's easy to get wrong. If setting the keymap fails, leave it in
whatever state it previously had, since that seems preferable to crashing
with a NULL pointer dereference.

Sometimes the automatically selected primary GPU isn't suitable with no
way to make an well educated guess to do it better. To make it possible
for the user to override the automatically calculated default, make it
possible to override it using a udev rule.
E.g. to select /dev/dri/card1 as the primary GPU, add a file e.g.
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-primary-gpu.rules (path my vary
depending on distribution) containing the fellowing line:
ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card1", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"
Reboot or manual triggering of udev rules to make it take effect may be
required.

It's enabled by default when using the i915 driver, but disabled
everywhere else until it can be made reliably an improvement. Until
then, for anyone want to force-enable it, add the string
'dma-buf-screen-sharing' to the experimental features list in GSettings.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1442
Seems DMA buffer based interprocess buffer sharing is more broken than
not, so for now only enable it when using the i915 driver.
For example vmwgfx, qxl and radeon, it results in mmap() failing to mmap the
memory region. Other drivers, e.g. amdgpu will function, but may hit
very slow memory download paths, resulting in worse performance.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1442
QXL doesn't support mmap():ing a DMA buffer allocated in mutter inside
the PipeWire stream consumer process. To make screen casting work again
on QXL, disable DMA buffer based screen casting for QXL.
Eventually, it should be the client that renegotiates the supported
buffer types, but until then we need this list.

Replace the default master clock with multiple frame clocks, each
driving its own stage view. As each stage view represents one CRTC, this
means we draw each CRTC with its own designated frame clock,
disconnected from all the others.
For example this means we when using the native backend will never need
to wait for one monitor to vsync before painting another, so e.g. having
a 144 Hz monitor next to a 60 Hz monitor, things including both Wayland
and X11 applications and shell UI will be able to render at the
corresponding monitor refresh rate.
This also changes a warning about missed frames when sending
_NETWM_FRAME_TIMINGS messages to a debug log entry, as it's expected
that we'll start missing frames e.g. when a X11 window (via Xwayland) is
exclusively within a stage view that was not painted, while another one
was, still increasing the global frame clock.
Addititonally, this also requires the X11 window actor to schedule
timeouts for _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN/_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS event emitting,
if the actor wasn't on any stage views, as now we'll only get the frame
callbacks on actors when they actually were painted, while in the past,
we'd invoke that vfunc when anything was painted.

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

Move Wayland support (i.e. the MetaWaylandCompositor object) made to be
part of the backend. This is due to the fact that it is needed by the
backend initialization, e.g. the Wayland EGLDisplay server support.
The backend is changed to be more involved in Wayland and clutter
initialization, so that the parts needed for clutter initialization
happens before clutter itself initialization happens, and the rest
happens after. This simplifies the setup a bit, as clutter and Wayland
init now happens as part of the backend initialization.

This is so that cogl-trace.h can start using things from cogl-macros.h,
and so that it doesn't leak cogl-config.h into the world, while exposing
it to e.g. gnome-shell so that it can make use of it as well. There is
no practical reason why we shouldn't just include cogl-trace.h via
cogl.h as we do with everything else.

e9fbbd5853 changed meta_backend_get_idle_monitor() to use
ClutterInputDevice pointers instead of device IDs, but did not adjust
the call in meta_backend_native_resume() which was still using 0 to get
the core idle monitor resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.

The backend being initialized triggers a pointer warp (and motion event)
where we want to observe the callbacks put in place. So ensure we set
up the hooks before that could happen.

Just go ATM through backend checks, and looking up directly the
native event data, pretty much like the rest of the places do that...
Eventually would be nice to have this information in ClutterEvent,
but let's not have it clutter the MetaBackend class.
