This signal allows interested parties to be notified of a new cursor
frame being painted regardless of whether it's being painted by the
backend directly or if it's a software rendered cursor frame handled
by clutter.

All the upper layers are prepared for multiple onscreen cursors, but
this. All MetaCursorRenderers created would poke the same internal
MetaOverlay in the stage.
This will lead to multiple cursor renderers resorting to the "SW"
rendering paths (as it can be seen with tablet support) to reuse the
same overlay, thus leading to flickering when a different
MetaCursorRenderer takes over the overlay.
Fix this by allowing per-cursor-renderer overlays, their lifetime
is attached to the cursor renderer, so is expected to be tear down
if the relevant device (eg. tablet) disappears.
On the X11 backend we don't track the pointer position in
priv->current_x/y which remain set to zero. That means we never set
the clutter stage cursor if point 0,0 isn't covered by any monitor
since we return early.
Commit 4bebc5e5fa introduced this to
avoid crashing on the prepare-at handlers when the cursor position
doesn't fall inside any monitor area but we can handle that higher up
in the stack. In that case, the sprite's scale doesn't matter since
the cursor won't be shown anyway so we can skip setting it.

This commits refactors cursor handling code and plugs in logic so that
cursor sprites changes appearance as it moves across the screen.
Renderers are adapted to handle the necessary functionality.
The logic for changing the cursor sprite appearance is done outside of
MetaCursorSprite, and actually where depends on what type of cursor it
is. In mutter we now have two types of cursors that may have their
appearance changed:
- Themed cursors (aka root cursors)
- wl_surface cursors
Themed cursors are created by MetaScreen and when created, when
applicable(*), it will extend the cursor via connecting to a signal
which is emitted everytime the cursor is moved. The signal handler will
calculate the expected scale given the monitor it is on and reload the
theme in a correct size when needed.
wl_surface cursors are created when a wl_surface is assigned the
"cursor" role, i.e. when a client calls wl_pointer.set_cursor. A
cursor role object is created which is connected to the cursor object
by the position signal, and will set a correct texture scale given what
monitor the cursor is on and what scale the wl_surface's active buffer
is in. It will also push new buffers to the same to the cursor object
when new ones are committed to the surface.
This commit also makes texture loading lazy, since the renderer doesn't
calculate a rectangle when the cursor position changes.
The native backend is refactored to be triple-buffered; see the comment
in meta-cursor-renderer-native.c for further explanations.

There were lots of code handling the native renderer specific cases;
move these parts to the renderer. Note that this causes the X11 case to
always generate the texture which is a waste of memory, but his
regression will be fixed in a following commit.
The lazy loading of the texture was removed because it was eventually
always loaded anyway indirectly by the renderer to calculate the
current rect.

There is nothing special about the private API which only consists of
getters for renderer specific backing buffer. Lets them to the regular
.h file and treat them as part of the normal API.

This allows creating the stage much earlier than it otherwise would have
been. Our initialization sequence has always been a bit haphazard, with
first the MetaBackend created, then the MetaDisplay, and inside of that,
the MetaScreen and MetaCompositor.
Refactor this out so that the MetaBackend creates the Clutter
stage. Besides the clarity of early initialization, we now have much
easier access to the stage, allowing us to use it for things such as
key focus and beyond.
When switching from the stage cursor to the native cursor, we
forgot to repaint the stage to get rid of the old cursor. Fix
this by having the abstract cursor renderer class track whether
we're using the backend, rather than doing chain-up shenanigans.
