Systems with AMD GPUs do not take advantage of Mutter's zero-copy path
when driving DisplayLink screens. This is due to a very slow CPU access
to the zero-copy texture. Instead they fall back on primary GPU doing a
copy of the texture for fast CPU access. This commit accelerates texture
copy by working through damage regions only.
Tests on a 4K screen with windowed applications show significant
reduction of GPU utilisation.

When we use gbm together with the NVIDIA driver, we want the EGL/Vulkan
clients to do the same, instead of using the EGLStream paths. To achieve
that, make sure to only initialize the EGLStream controller when we
didn't end up using gbm as the renderer backend.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2052>
This switches the order of what renderer mode is tried first, so that
the gbm renderer mode is preferred on an NVIDIA driver where it is
supported.
We fall back to still try the EGLDevice renderer mode if the created gbm
renderer is not hardware accelerated.
The last fallback is still to use the gbm renderer, even if it is not
hardware accelerated, as this is needed when hardware acceleration isn't
available at all. The original reason for the old order was due to the
fact that a gbm renderer without hardware acceleration would succeed
even on NVIDIA driver that didn't support gbm.

This replaces functionality that MetaRenderDevice and friends has
learned, e.g. buffer allocation, EGLDisplay creation, with the usage of
those helper objects. The main objective is to shrink
meta-renderer-native.c and by extension meta-onscreen-native.c, moving
its functionality into more isolated objects.

All render devices that have a device file backing them might be able to
allocate dumb buffers, so add a helper for doing that. Will indirectly
result in an error up front on a surfaceless render device due to lack
of a device file.

It might not be needed by the user of the buffer, so don't always
require it up front. Instead make sure that any user that needs it first
calls "meta_drm_buffer_ensure_fb_id()" to create the ID.
Only the plain gbm implementation creates the ID lazilly, the other
still does it on construction due to the objects used to create them
only existing during construction.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1854>
Mostly calls into gbm_bo_* API, or something somewhat similar when on
dumb buffers. Added API are:
* get offset for plane
* get bpp (bits per pixel)
* get modifier
This will allow users of MetaDrmBuffer to avoid having to "extract" the
gbm_bo to get these metadata.

The purpose of MetaRenderDevice is to contain the logics related to a
render device; i.e. e.g. a gbm_device, or an EGLDevice. It's meant to
help abstract away unrelated details from where it's eventually used,
which will be by MetaRendererNative and the MetaOnscreenNative
instances.

This changes the setup phase of clutter to not be result of calling an
init function that sets up a few global singletons, via global singleton
setup vfuncs.
The way it worked was that mutter first did some initial setup
(connecting to the X11 server), then set a "custom backend" setup vfunc
global, before calling clutter_init().
During the clutter_init() call, the context and backend was setup by
calling the global singleton getters, which implicitly created the
backend and context on-demand.
This has now changed to mutter explicitly creating a `ClutterContext`
(which is actually a `ClutterMainContext`, but with the name shortened to
be consistent with `CoglContext` and `MetaContext`), calling it with a
backend constructor vfunc and user data pointer.
This function now explicitly creates the backend, without having to go
via the previously set global vfunc.
This changes the behavior of some "get_default()" like functions, which
will now fail if called after mutter has shut down, as when it does so,
it now destroys the backends and contexts, not only its own, but the
clutter ones too.
The "ownership" of the clutter backend is also moved to
`ClutterContext`, and MetaBackend is changed to fetch it via the clutter
context.
This also removed the unused option parsing that existed in clutter.
In some places, NULL checks for fetching the clutter context, or
backend, and fetching the cogl context from the clutter backend, had to
be added.
The reason for this is that some code that handles EGL contexts attempts
to restore the cogl EGL context tracking so that the right EGL context
is used by cogl the next time. This makes no sense to do before Cogl and
Clutter are even initialized, which was the case. It wasn't noticed
because the relevant singletons were initialized on demand via their
"getters".

When the native backend is paused we still process the udev events
even though this isn't needed and may just cause unneeded events to be
triggered afterwards.
Since we'll resume with full changes on such event, we can just block
the signal hander when paused and restore it afterwards.
As per this we can cleanup also a bit the device adding signal handling
given that now we don't have to disconnect/reconnect it again.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
Resume happens after we may have received various events that we've
ignored, so at this point we need to just emit an hotplug event like if
everything changed so that user settings may be re-applied.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
On hotplug events we may get informations about what CRTC or connector
changed a property (and the property itself), so in such case let's just
ignore the changes to the non-affected CRTCs/connectors, and let's read
only the affected one
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
On hotplug events we may receive a "CRTC" or "CONNECTOR" property that
indicates which crtc/connector property ID has changed.
In such case, instead of update data for all the devices, only update the
device containing the relative connector.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
Hotplug events may contain CRTC or CONNECTOR ids to notify a property
change to just one owner, so we need to find its parent device.
Also we may want to update properties directly without having to go through
all the devices, so expose a simple way to find them.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
In case we have no devices, after a KMS update (both because they've
all have been removed or because there were none), we may need to behave
differently compared to the case in which nothing changed, so add a more
specific KMS update change type
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
If only gamma changed on drm CRTC's we don't have to rebuild the whole
monitors, nor to inform the backed about, the only consumer could be the
DBus API, and so we still emit a signal, but nothing else is needed.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1964>
Since we cache already all the KMS parameters we care about let's check at
each device update if anything has really changed and only in such case
emit a resources-changed signal.
In this way we can also filter out the DRM parameters that when changed
don't require a full monitors rebuild.
Examples are the gamma settings or the privacy screen parameters, that
emits an udev "hotplug" event when changed, but we want to register those
only when we handle the changed property.

This commit adds support to atomic KMS backend for optional plane property
prop_fb_damage_clips. Some drivers (e.g. EVDI) take advantage of this
property and process only updated regions of the screen instead of
processing the full frame. This can save system resources.

Scanout doesn't go through the usual path of compositing and doing
eglSwapBuffers, therefore it doesn't hit the timestamp query placed in
that path. Instead, get the timings by binding the scanout buffer to an
FBO and doing a timestamp query on the FBO.
