Mutter makes use of a gsettings scheme that comes from
gnome-settings-daemon to check for the screen orientation.
In use cases where gnome-settings-daemon is not available,
this would lead to a crash as the key doesn't exists

In X11 when we switch to another tty all the the signals are blocked (as
the display fd is not replying back to polling, causing the main loop to
stop), and they are all handled once we switch back to the tty.
This is not a problem for most of external events, but in case of
accelerometer changes, once we reactivate a mutter session we'll get
them all together, causing lots of monitor reconfigurations leading to
black screen for some seconds and most of the times to a wrong
configuration being applied.
To avoid this, batch all these events using an idle to only apply the
last one we got in a loop.

Bail out of sync_state() immediately if the orientation is locked, before
calling read_iio_prox() which updates the curr_orientation value.
There are 2 reasons for this change:
1. Currently meta-monitor-config-manager.c always assumes normal / upright
orientation when generating a new config. This means that e.g. when an
external monitor gets plugged in the builtin panel's transform will be reset
to normal / upright even if the device is not in an upright orientation.
To fix this meta-monitor-config-manager.c needs to call
meta_orientation_manager_get_orientation() to get the current orientation
when generating a new config. Without this change locking the orientation
would stop the emitting of "orientation-changed" signals but we would
still update the curr_orientation value. So when a new config needs to
be generated the latest orientation would be used, effectively ignoring
the "orientation-lock" setting, not updating curr_orientation when
locked fixes this.
2. This ensures we properly emit an an "orientation-changed" signal when
the orientation has changed between when it was locked and it was
unlocked. Before this change if the user locked the orientation, changed it
and then unlocked it, no signal would be raised as we would already have
updated the curr_orientation value turning the sync_state() call in
orientation_lock_changed() into a no-op.

The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
This basically moves g-s-d's orientation plugin into mutter so that
eventually g-s-d doesn't need to build monitor configurations by
itself anymore.
