We need a MetaWaylandSurface to build a MetaSurfaceActor, but
we don't have one until we get the set_window_xid() call from
XWayland. On the other hand, plugins expect to see the window
actor right from when the window is created, so we need this
empty state.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
The input region was set on the shaped texture, but the shaped texture
was never picked properly, as it was never set to be reactive. Move the
pick implementation and reactivity to the MetaSurfaceActor, and update
the code everywhere else to expect a MetaSurfaceActor.
Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

We want to remove a bunch of auxilliary duties from the MetaWindowActor
and MetaSurfaceActor, including some details of how culling is done.
Move the unobscured region culling code to the MetaShapedTexture, which
helps the actor become "more independent".

We no longer unmap the toplevel windows during normal operation. The
toplevel state is tied to the window's lifetime.
Call meta_compositor_add_window / meta_compositor_remove_window instead...

show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab, so we remove
the complex unmap tracking for this later.
Currently the only way to move a window to another monitor via
keyboard is to start a move operation and move it manually using
arrow keys. We do have all the bits of a dedicated keybinding in
place already, so offer it as a more comfortable alternative.

Make MetaWindowActor chain up to the generic default MetaCullable
implementation, and remove the helper methods for MetaSurfaceActor
and MetaShapedTexture.
For clarity, rename meta_window_get_outer_rect() to match terminology
we use elsewhere. The old function is left as a deprecated
compatibility wrapper.
There are extensive places in the code where we convert between the client
rectangle and the frame rectangle. Instead of manually doing it use
new helper functions on MetaWindow and the existing meta_window_get_outer_rect().
This fixes a number of bugs where the computation was being done incorrectly,
most of these bugs are with the recently added custom frame extents, but
some relate to invisible borders or even simply to confusion between the
window and frame rectangle.
Switch the placement code to place the frame rectangle rather
than the client window - this simplifies things considerably.

Use the "hotplug_mode_update" connector property indicating that the
screen settings should be updated: get a new preferred mode on hotplug
events to handle dynamic guest resizing (where you resize the host
window and the guest resizes with it).

When X clients change the keyboard map, the also update a property
on the root window. We can notice that and rebuild our data structures
with the new values, as well as inform the wayland clients.
This is a terrible hack, and it's not how we want to implement things
in 3.12, but it's enough to have the same keyboard layout in the
shell, in X clients and in wayland clients in 3.10, until we decide
on the fate of the keyboard g-s-d plugin.

Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

clutter_stage_show_cursor()/hide_cursor() only works in the X11
backend (where someone else is in charge of showing the cursor),
and even then, it has confusing effects when running nested wayland,
so an abstraction layer is needed.

When we get a damage event we update the window by calling
meta_shaped_texture_update_area which queues a redraw on the actor.
We can avoid that for obscured regions by comparing the damage area to
our visible area.
This patch causes _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN messages to be not sent in some cases
where they should be sent; they will be added back in a later commit.

When drawing entirely opaque regions, we traditionally kept blending on
simply because it made the code more convenient and obvious to handle.
However, this can cause lots of performance issues on GPUs that aren't
too powerful, as they have to readback the buffer underneath.
Keep track of the opaque region set by windows (through _NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION,
Wayland opaque_region hints, standard RGB32 frame masks or similar), and draw
those rectangles separately through a different path with blending turned off.

When running as a wayland compositor, we can't use the xserver's
IDLETIME, because that's updated only in response to X events.
But we have all the events ourselves, so we can just run the timer
in process.

Remove grab window and cursor from the API, and just grab always
on the stage window with no cursor.
This is mainly to remove the X11 usage in the public API, in preparation
for implementing this in wayland.

Under X, we need to use XFixes to watch the cursor changing, while
on wayland, we're in charge of setting and painting the cursor.
MetaCursorTracker provides the abstraction layer for gnome-shell,
which can thus drop ShellXFixesCursor. In the future, it may grow
the ability to watch for pointer position too, especially if
CursorEvents are added to the next version of XInput2, and thus
it would also replace the PointerWatcher we use for gnome-shell's
magnifier.

We want to show a dialog when a display change happens from the
control center. To do so, add a new vfunc to MetaPlugin and
call it when a configuration change is requested via DBus.

GnomeRR needs that too.
The backlight is exported as a normalized 0-100 value, or -1 if not
supported. Clamping to HW limits is handled by the backend.
Changing backlight uses a different method call, to avoid recomputing
the full display configuration every time the user presses the
backlight keys.

Use a private output property to store if the output is in
presentation mode or not, so that this information is not lost
after the configuration read back from the server.

This new interface will be used by the control center and possibly
the settings daemon to configure the screens. It is designed to
resemble a simplified XRandR, while still exposing all the quirks
of the hardware, so that the panel can limit the user choices
appropriately.
To do so, MetaMonitorMode needs to track CRTCs, outputs and modes,
so the low level objects have been decoupled from the high-level
MetaMonitorInfo, which is used by core and API and offers a simplified
view of HW, that hides away the details of what is cloned and how.
This is still not efficient as it should be, because on every
HW change we drop all data structures and rebuild them from scratch
(which is not expensive because there aren't many of them, but
at least in the XRandR path it involves a few sync X calls)

This breaks down the assumptions in stack-tracker.c and stack.c that
Mutter is only stacking X windows.
The stack tracker now tracks windows using a MetaStackWindow structure
which is a union with a type member so that X windows can be
distinguished from Wayland windows.
Some notable changes are:
Queued stack tracker operations that affect Wayland windows will not be
associated with an X serial number.
If an operation only affects a Wayland window and there are no queued
stack tracker operations ("unvalidated predictions") then the operation
is applied immediately since there is no server involved with changing
the stacking for Wayland windows.
The stack tracker can no longer respond to X events by turning them into
stack operations and discarding the predicted operations made prior to
that event because operations based on X events don't know anything
about the stacking of Wayland windows.
Instead of discarding old predictions the new approach is to trust the
predictions but whenever we receive an event from the server that
affects stacking we cross-reference with the predicted stack and check
for consistency. So e.g. if we have an event that says ADD window A then
we apply the predictions (up to the serial for that event) and verify
the predicted state includes a window A. Similarly if an event says
RAISE_ABOVE(B, C) we can apply the predictions (up to the serial for
that event) and verify that window B is above C.
If we ever receive spurious stacking events (with a serial older than we
would expect) or find an inconsistency (some things aren't possible to
predict from the compositor) then we hit a re-synchronization code-path
that will query the X server for the full stacking order and then use
that stack to walk through our combined stack and force the X windows to
match the just queried stack but avoiding disrupting the relative
stacking of Wayland windows. This will be relatively expensive but
shouldn't be hit for compositor initiated restacking operations where
our predictions should be accurate.
The code in core/stack.c that deals with synchronizing the window stack
with the X server had to be updated quite heavily. In general the patch
avoids changing the fundamental approach being used but most of the code
did need some amount of re-factoring to consider what re-stacking
operations actually involve X or not and when we need to restack X
windows we sometimes need to search for a suitable X sibling to restack
relative too since the closest siblings may be Wayland windows.
This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.
