As with the backend commit, this means all objects can reach the
MetaContext by walking up the chain, thus can e.g. get the backend from
the context, instead of the global singleton.
This also is a squashed commit containing:
compositor: Get backend via the context
The MetaCompositor instance is owned by MetaDisplay, which is owned by
MetaContext. Get the backend via that chain of ownership.
dnd: Don't get backend from singleton
window-actor: Don't get backend from singleton
dnd: Don't get Wayland compositor via singleton
background: Don't get the monitor manager from the singleton
plugins: Don't get backend from singleton
This applies to MetaPlugin, it's manager class, and the default plugin.
feedback-actor: Pass a compositor pointer when constructing
This allows getting to the display.
later: Keep a pointer to the manager object
This allows using the non-singleton API in idle callbacks.

We only support feedback-actors, such as DnD-icons, in the compositing
path at the moment.
The approach is similar to how we handle certain shell elements.
Implementations need to ensure no references to the object keep
around longer that necessary.
Arguably this should be replaced by a more robust and implicit actor
hierachy detection in the direct scanout code at some point.

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 actor is a non-reactive container that autoembeds itself into
the feedback window group in the compositor. The API is meant to
help on creating things attached to pointer/touchpoints, with an
X/Y attachment offset, and following the position of certain events.
