MetaKeyCombo is about the *unresolved* keybinding, which can either be a
"keysym" (<Ctrl>F) or a "keycode" (<Ctrl>0x21). When we resolved the
keysym to a keycode, we stuffed it back in the same MetaKeyCombo, which
confused about what the "keycode" field was for. Thus, we often stomped
on the user's explicit choice if they chose a keycode binding value.
To solve this, create a separate structure, the "devirtualized key combo"
or MetaKeyDevirtCombo, which contains a resolved keycode from the
keysym, and a devirtualized modifier mask. The MetaKeyCombo is now
always a "source" value, and the MetaKeyDevirtCombo is now always what
the user chose.
This also lets us significantly clean up the overlay and ISO key binding
paths.
The reason MetaKeyCombo has a keycode value at all is *not* to store the
devirtualized keycode from the keysym, but instead to allow people that
type in "0x55" into the preference. Everything except the overlay-key
respected this. Make the overlay-key binding respect this.
Since we now directly expose the reverses bindings directly, we
don't have to have this special-case in do_choose_window.
More importantly, if the backwards binding is pressed and has the Shift
key included, this will actually revert it
This doesn't matter for Alt-Tab in gnome-shell, which already replaces
it with a better Alt-Tab replacement, but it does matter for Alt-Esc,
which switches between windows directly.
Commit 1af0033368 made a subtle change
regarding how XKeysymToKeycode behaves. It does a depth first search
while XKeysymToKeycode is documented to do a breadth first search:
"this function looks in each column of the core keyboard mapping in
turn and returns the lowest numbered key that matches in the lowest
numbered group" - from the XKB library documentation
Looping over all keycodes for each layout and level index makes us go
back to the previous behavior.

Commit 2f229c3928 removed the code to compute the above-tab
keycode and replaced it with a simple constant from linux/input.h.
We obviously cannot depend on linux headers on non-linux systems,
so provide a fallback definition in that case (which is expected
to work assuming the system is using the Xorg xf86-input-keyboard
driver).

Clutter events include the layout index codified into modifier_state,
unlike XI2 device events, which means that we need to mask it out so
that we can match successfully.
This removes our Xwayland dependency in the native path. The direct
grabs are still there for the X11 backend and are a bit disgusting,
but that's OK. We can refactor it out later.
This introduces some pretty lousy hackery because it depends on
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/10 , and I really
don't want to wait on that to squash this dep.
Now that the internal mutter bindings and gnome-shell stopped using
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES, and after moving the 'adding shift reverses
the keybinding action' logic to gnome-control-center, we can remove
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES from mutter.
Plugin API is broken as this constant is removed from the exported
headers. ABI is broken as using this flag is now a noop.

Currently the bindings for {switch,cycle}.* actions are created with the
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES flag so that <shift>+binding triggers the
reverse action. However, gnome-control-center does not know about this
kind of implicit bindings, and, for example, cannot warn when the user
tries to setup a conflicting <shift>+xxx binding.
These backward <shift> bindings are being explicitly set in
gsettings-desktop-schemas, so the META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES annotation
can be removed for them from mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732385
MetaKeyBinding can be marked as being reversed
(META_KEY_BINDING_IS_REVERSED), but MetaKeyHandlerFunc callbacks
cannot check whether this flag was set or not on the MetaKeyBinding
which triggered the callback.

MetaGrabOp is painful and tedious to work with, because it's a
sequential series of values, meaning we have to use a giant unreadable
switch statement to figure out some basic things about the value.
To solve this, modify the encoding for MetaGrabOp and for the specific
window grab operations so that they're a set of bitflags that we can
easily check.
Now that we always use XKB, it's very unlikely that we'll get a
MappingNotifier without a subsequence XkbKeymapNotify event. Just
do all the work always.
This will also help us considerably for the future when we'll be
putting the keymap event in the backend.
At this point there shouldn't be any system capable of running mutter
that doesn't have it and we're introducing functionality like setting
the keymap that has an hard requirement on it.

We really can't do this unless the backend X server is the same as the
frontend X server, as we pass a frontend XID to the backend, which is
only the case when we're not a Wayland compositor.
For Wayland, we want to have everything possible in terms of the frame
rect, or "window geometry" as the Wayland protocol calls it, in order
to properly eliminate some flashing when changing states to fullscreen
or similar.
For this, we need to heavily refactor how the code is structured, and
make it so that meta_window_move_resize_internal is specified in terms
of the frame rect coordinate space, and transforming all entry points
to meta_window_move_resize_internal.
This is a big commit that's hard to tear apart. I tried to split it
as best I can, but there's still just a large amount of changes that
need to happen at once.
Expect some regressions from this. Sorry for any temporary regression
that this might cause.
The last commit added support for the "appmenu" button in decorations,
but didn't actually implement it. Add a new MetaWindowMenuType parameter
to the show_window_menu () functions and use it to ask the compositor
to display the app menu when the new button is activated.
