Putting hidden windows in the desktop layer is pointless - in
the desktop layer isn't necessary below all visible windows,
and we are hiding the windows by other means. And the movement
isn't reliable because nothing sets stack->needs_relayer, so
windows can get stuck in the desktop layer after being
rehidden.

With MetaStackTracker, it's no longer necessary to XQueryTree to
get a reasonably-up-to-date view of the server stacking order.
Add some comments explaining unclear aspects of
raise_window_relative_to_managed_windows() and with future possible
improvements.

Don't add override-redirect windows to MetaStack; we shouldn't
be restacking them.
Since we *aren't* stacking the override-redirect windows, we need to
be careful that to ignore them when looking for the top managed
window.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585984
In order to properly track the stacking order for override-redirect
windows, move meta_compositor_sync_stack() call into MetaStackTracker.
In the new location, we sync the stack as a before-redraw idle function,
rather then using the freeze-thaw facilities of MetaStack. This is
simpler, and also properly compresses multiple stack changes on
notifications received from the X server.

Wedging override-redirect windows into the constraint code in stack.c
results in Mutter getting confused about the stacking order of
these windows with respect to other windows, and may also in some
cases cause Mutter to restack override-redirect windows.
core/stack-tracker.c core/stack-tracker.h: MetaStackTracker - combine
events received from the X server with local changes we have made
to come up with the best possible idea of what the stacking order
is at any one point in time.
core/screen.c core/screen-private.h: Create a MetaStackTracker for
the screen.
core/display.c: Feed relevant events to MetaStackTracker
core/frame.c core/screen.c core/stack.c: When we make changes to the
stacking order or add windows, record those changes immediatley
in MetaStackTracker so we have the information without waiting
for a round-trip.
include/ui.h ui/ui.c: meta_ui_create_frame_window add a return value
for the X request serial used to create the window.

Expose restacking and a window's stack layer to allow a compositor
to insert elements into the window stack in the right location.
(See Bug 571827 – hide panel when screensaver is active)
src/core/stack.h src/include/common.h: Move MetaStackLayer to
a public header.
src/core/screen.c src/core/screen-private.h src/core/stack.c:
Add a ::restacked signal emitted after we finish restracking.
src/core/window.h src/include/window.h: Add meta_window_get_layer()
The metacity core is now directly aware of override redirect windows.
- They get MetaWindows like normal windows, so mutter no longer need to special
case them. The net wm types applicable to override redirects are also
recognised.
- The original positioning/stacking semantics of metacity with respect to OR
windows are maintained, but now it's easier to synchronize the stacking
between the core and mutter.
- mutter no longer needs to manualy track UnmapNotify, MapNotify,
ReparentNotify, CreateNotify and DestroyNotify events; instead map, unmap,
add and remove events can now be consistently delivered via the
MetaCompositor callbacks.
We can't easily use a metacity layer to hide windows as that means we
loose our original stacking position. (Metacity's stack positions are
only valid within a single layer) We now have a "guard window" per
screen that is a fullscreen override redirect that is lowered to the
bottom of the stack. Hidden windows now remain in their original layer
so the stacking position remains valid, but all hidden windows get
XRestacked under the guard window.
A new compositor hook is also added to inform it when a window becomes
hidden/unhidded, this lets us map/unmap the corresponding actor.
missing files in preview commit (TODO: rebase -i and squash this later)
ClutterActors for hidden windows (such windows on different than active
workspaces and windows that are minimized) are available, and reflect the
actual state of the window. This is intended for use in task-switchers etc.
This feature is disabled by default (due to increased demand on resources),
and can be enabled through the metacity/general/live_hidden_windows gconf key.
A trivial sample window switcher is included in the scratch plugin (activated
by clicking on the slide out panel).

* src/core/stack.c (stack_sync_to_server): lose meta prefix
since it's static.
* src/core/stack.c (meta_stack_remove, stack_do_window_deletions):
replace our own cast with glib macro designed to do the same thing

Refactor so the long scary stack functions are less long and scary:
* stack.c (stack_ensure_sorted): the five parts of this long function
broken out into the new functions stack_do_window_deletions,
stack_do_window_additions, stack_do_relayer, stack_do_constrain
(which was already separate: see next) and stack_do_resort.
* stack.c (constrain_stacking): renamed to stack_do_constrain.
* stack.c (stack_ignore_sorted): lose meta prefix since it's static.

All information should live in exactly one place. This means
that the list of atoms should not be replicated anywhere.
Therefore, we include it via x-macros. Closes#530843.
* src/core/atomnames.h: added list of atom names
* src/Makefile.am: added reference to new file
* src/core/display.h
* src/core/display.c (twice)
* src/core/screen.c: #included atomnames.h instead of having
an enormous list of atoms

* src/ui, src/core, src/include: sort source files into these
directories according to which part of the WM they are supposed to
be in. In an eventual plan, we should also create
src/compositor/render, src/compositor/fallback and move some of
the compositor stuff into that.
* autogen.sh: require a newer automake, so we don't have to use
a recursive build
* src/ui/tabpopup.c: put in a hack to make the build temporarily
work, want to commit the large rearrangement before fixing this
not to include workspace.h or frame.h
* src/core/iconcache.c (meta_read_icons): temporarily break this
to get the build to work, want to commit the large rearrangement
before fixing this file not to include theme.h
