Adds an API to get the position suggested by the backend. This
translates to position advertised by some VM:s, used to hint at a
position making the position more natural (i.e. placed similarly to how
it may be placed on the host desktop).

The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.
Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).
The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).
The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.

Operate on MetaMonitor's instead of MetaOutput's, as the latter may be
only a subset of an actual "monitor" when referring to the physical
computer equipment.

When a logical monitor constains monitors with different subpixel
ordering, make the wl_output have the subpixel order 'unknown' so that
clients don't make assumptions given only a subset of the monitors of
the given region.

Sometimes we hit a race on hot-plug where we try to read the KMS
resources and the EDID blob is not yet ready. This would normally
result in a ENOENT when retrieving the blob. Handle this by retrying
after 50 milliseconds after a hot-plug event. Do this up to 10 times,
and after that give up trying to get the EDID blob and continue with
best effort.

The function meta_monitor_manager_read_current_config() was renamed to
meta_monitor_manager_read_current_state() as it does not read any
configuration, but reads the current state as described by the backend.

In preparation of replacing the configuration system with one working
with high level monitors instead of low level outputs etc, move
configuarion handling code into obviously named function (containing
the word 'legacy'.

A monitor spec object is meant to be used to identify a certain monitor
on a certain output. The spec is unique per actual monitor and connector,
meaning that a monitor that changes from one connector from another
(e.g. HDMI1 to HDMI2) will not be identified as the same. It is meant
to associate for example a configuration entry with an actual monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a "mode spec" concept, meaning to be used as a identifier for an
actual monitor mode. It consists of details making a mode unique, i.e.
the total resolution and refresh rate. This will later be used to get
the actual monitor mode (set of one or more CRTC modes).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add "monitor modes" abstracting the modes set on a monitor. On normal
monitors, this directly maps to the CRTC modes, but on tiled monitors,
a monitor mode can consist modes per tiled output.

Don't try to mirror the physical dimension, since that's a property of
one of the monitors, not of the logical monitor. Callers are changed to
deal with choosing the monitor to represent the logical monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Don't deal with adding/removing tiled Xrandr monitors in the generic
backend, but leave it to the Xrandr backend. The tiled monitor will
itself notify the backend when such a monitor is added and removed.
Tiled Xrandr monitors are now based no MetaMonitor instead of
MetaLogicalMonitor. This means that mirrored tiled monitors will now be
represented correctly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using crtcs and outputs to generate logical monitors, use
the ready made monitor abstraction that hides irrelevant things such as
monitor tiling etc.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Generate a set of "monitors" abstracting the physical concepts. Each
monitor is built up of one or more outputs; multiple outputs being
tiled monitors. Logical monitors will later be built from these.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The MetaMonitorMode referred to the mode of a CRTC, and with the future
introduction of a MetaMonitor, theh old name would be confusing.
Instead call it what it is.

Set up the expected result in a declarative way in the same place as
the test case setup is declared. This way we have a completely
declarative way to create test cases.
