When we change the privacy screen, we added a result listener to the KMS
update object to notify the upper layer about the privacy screen state
change. This was slightly awkward as one might have changed the state
multiple times for a single update, thus it was necessary to remove any
old result listeners to an update before adding a new one.
Doing this will not be possible when updates are fully async and managed
by the KMS impl device.
To handle this, instead make the post-commit prediction notify about
changes that happens in response to a successfully committed update. We
already predicted the new privacy screen state, so the necessary change
was to plumb the actual change into a callback which emits the signal if
there actually was a privacy screen change.
This will then be communicated via the same signal listener that already
listens to the 'resources-changed' signal.

The name had a bit conceptual conflicts with MetaKmsUpdate, as it shared
its namespace but had no relation to it. Fix this by renaming it
MetaKmsResourceChanges (and the corresponding META_KMS_UPDATE_CHANGE_*
to META_KMS_RESOURCE_CHANGE_*). The term "resource" is used since that's
already used in the signal, and the fact that the changes partly comes
from changes in the DRM resource as retrieved by drmModeGetResources.

When we're predicting state, i.e. when having posted an update while
avoiding reading KMS state, copy the predicted state, update the actual
state, and check that the predicted state matches the newly updated one.

This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for
setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From
an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current
implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state
non-atomically.
The API consists of various buliding blocks:
* MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level
handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to
set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set
connector properties.
* MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane.
Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In
the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive
the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping.
This also means various high level changes:
State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying
DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in
one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as
mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far.
From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially
always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in
the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but
postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock).
Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is
notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API.
EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being
atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g.
nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping
the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c.
Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from
meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching
meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the
impl context.
While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the
EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the
frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries
have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This
effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on
the file descriptor for pending page flips.

The MetaKmsImpl implementation may need to add a GSource that should be
invoked in the right context; e.g. a idle callback, timeout etc. It
cannot just add it itself, since it's the responsibility of MetaKms to
determine what is the impl context and what is the main context, so add
API to MetaKms to ensure the callback is invoked correctly.
It's the responsibility of the caller to eventually remove and destroy
the GSource.

The intention with KMS abstraction is to hide away accessing the drm
functions behind an API that allows us to have different kind of KMS
implementations, including legacy non-atomic and atomic. The intention
is also that the code interacting with the drm device should be able to
be run in a different thread than the main thread. This means that we
need to make sure that all drm*() API usage must only occur from within
tasks that eventually can be run in the dedicated thread.
The idea here is that MetaKms provides a outward facing API other places
of mutter can use (e.g. MetaGpuKms and friends), while MetaKmsImpl is
an internal implementation that only gets interacted with via "tasks"
posted via the MetaKms object. These tasks will in the future
potentially be run on the dedicated KMS thread. Initially, we don't
create any new threads.
Likewise, MetaKmsDevice is a outward facing representation of a KMS
device, while MetaKmsImplDevice is the corresponding implementation,
which only runs from within the MetaKmsImpl tasks.
This commit only moves opening and closing the device to this new API,
while leaking the fd outside of the impl enclosure, effectively making
the isolation for drm*() calls pointless. This, however, is necessary to
allow gradual porting of drm interaction, and eventually the file
descriptor in MetaGpuKms will be removed. For now, it's harmless, since
everything still run in the main thread.
