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.

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.

Add private API for overriding the compositor configuration, i.e. the
compositor type (X11 WM or Wayland compositor) and backend type. This
will make it possible to add a special test backend used by src/tests/.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Put the monitor xinerama index in a separate struct that is attached to
the logical monitor using g_object_set/get_qdata(). Eventually this
should be moved to some "X11 window manager" object, but lets keep it
in MetaScreen until we have such a thing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Don't store logical monitor specific state in an array where the index
from the monitor manager is used as index locally. Instead just use
table associating a logical monitor with a monitor specific state
holder, and store the state in there. This way we don't have the
workspace implementation relying on implementation details of other
units.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of storing the logical monitors in an array and having users
either look up them in the array given an index or iterate using
indices, put it in a GList, and use GList iterators when iterating and
alternative API where array indices were previously used.
This allows for more liberty regarding the type of the logical monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Refactor the tiled monitor assembly code (that constructs a logical
monitor out of tiling information. Part of the reason is to move away
from array based storage, part is to make the code easier to follow,
and part is to separate logical monitor construction from list
manipulation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Rewrite check_fullscreen_func to not use indexes (and
offset-index-as-pointer) tricks. This also removes the usage of an API
constructing temporary logical monitor arrays carrying indices.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Change meta_monitor_manager_get_logical_monitor_at() to use floats,
replace users of meta_monitor_manager_get_monitor_at_point() to use the
API that returns a logical monitor and remove the now unused function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Move the last piece of monitor grid getter API to the monitor manager
away from MetaScreen. The public facing API are still there, but are
thin wrappers around the MetaMonitorManager API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The method used for getting the current logical monitor (the monitor
where the pointer cursor is currently at) depends on the backend type,
so move that logic to the corresponding backends.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Turning a rectangle into a logical monitor also has nothing to do with
the screen (MetaScreen) so move it to MetaMonitorManager which has that
information.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backend initialize the cursor tracker, and change all call
sites to get the cursor tracker from the backend instead of from the
screen. It wasn't associated with the screen anyway, so the API was
missleading.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of keeping around array indexes, keep track of them by storing
a pointer instead. This also changes from using an array (imitating the
X11 behaviour) to more explicit storing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
To complement the current API which takes an index referencing a
logical monitor in the logical monitor array, add API that takes a
direct reference to the logical monitor itself. The intention is to
replace the usage of the index based API with one that doesn't rely on
internal implementation details.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This is the current equivalent of looking up the logical monitor in the
logical monitor array using the number, but eventually that will be
deprecated, and before that done differently, so add a temporary helper
for the places that has not been ported yet.
