This means objects have an owner, where the chain eventually always
leads to a MetaContext. This also means that all objects can find their
way to other object instances via the chain, instead of scattered global
singletons.
This is a squashed commit originally containing the following:
cursor-tracker: Don't get backend from singleton
idle-manager: Don't get backend from singleton
input-device: Pass pointer to backend during construction
The backend is needed during construction to get the wacom database.
input-mapper: Pass backend when constructing
monitor: Don't get backend from singleton
monitor-manager: Get backend directly from monitor manager
remote: Get backend from manager class
For the remote desktop and screen cast implementations, replace getting
the backend from singletons with getting it via the manager classes.
launcher: Pass backend during construction
device-pool: Pass backend during construction
Instead of passing the (maybe null) launcher, pass the backend, and get
the launcher from there. That way we always have a way to some known
context from the device pool.
drm-buffer/gbm: Get backend via device pool
cursor-renderer: Get backend directly from renderer
input-device: Get backend getter
input-settings: Add backend construct property and getter
input-settings/x11: Don't get backend from singleton
renderer: Get backend from renderer itself
seat-impl: Add backend getter
seat/native: Get backend from instance struct
stage-impl: Get backend from stage impl itself
x11/xkb-a11y: Don't get backend from singleton
backend/x11/nested: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
crtc: Add backend property
Adding a link to the GPU isn't enough; the virtual CRTCs of virtual
monitors doesn't have one.
cursor-tracker: Don't get display from singleton
remote: Don't get display from singleton
seat: Don't get display from singleton
backend/x11: Don't get display from singleton

This object takes over the functionality of meta-idle-monitor-dbus.c,
meta-idle-monitor.c and meta-backend.c, all related to higher level
management of idle watches etc.
The idle D-Bus API is changed to be initialized by the backend instead
of MetaDisplay, as it's more of a backend functionality than what
MetaDisplay usually deals with.
It also takes over the work of implementing "core" idle monitors. The
singleton API is replaced with thin wrapper functions on the backend.
