There will be another mode added later, 'test'; prepare for this by
changing the existing "mode" boolean ('headless') to a mode, which is
either 'default' or 'headless'. Checking the is_headless variable is
changed to using the function is_headless(), except for one place, being
VT switching, which in preparation is only allowed on the 'default'
mode. Other places where it makes sense, the conditions are changed to
switch statements.

MetaBackend can now show whether it is in headless mode or not
using a vfunc is_headless.
Fallback of is_headless returns FALSE.
MetaBackendNative implements is_headless returning its
is_headless property.

When the native backend is paused we still process the udev events
even though this isn't needed and may just cause unneeded events to be
triggered afterwards.
Since we'll resume with full changes on such event, we can just block
the signal hander when paused and restore it afterwards.
As per this we can cleanup also a bit the device adding signal handling
given that now we don't have to disconnect/reconnect it again.

This practically does the same thing as part of MetaLauncher, except
with added thread safety and caching. For example, opening the same file
a second time will return the same MetaDeviceFile, and only once all
acquired MetaDeviceFile's are released, will the file descriptor be
closed and control of the device released.

There is an udev rule marking whether a device should be ignored by
mutter or not, but it was only respected on hotplug events not on init,
partly defeating its purpose. Fix this.

This object takes over the functionality of meta-idle-monitor-dbus.c,
meta-idle-monitor.c and meta-backend.c, all related to higher level
management of idle watches etc.
The idle D-Bus API is changed to be initialized by the backend instead
of MetaDisplay, as it's more of a backend functionality than what
MetaDisplay usually deals with.
It also takes over the work of implementing "core" idle monitors. The
singleton API is replaced with thin wrapper functions on the backend.

Wayland support is not really a "backend" thing, it just lacked a better
place to store its instance pointer. Eventually we'll have a better
place, but prepare for that by initializing it together with the more
similar subsystems.

The first phase happens early, which discards pending page flips,
meaning the references held by those page flip closures are released.
The second phase happens late, after other units depending on the KMS
abstraction, have been cleaned up.

Virtual Kernel Mode Setting (vkms) is a virtual /dev/dri/card* device
not backed by any actual hardware. It's intended for testing purposes,
e.g. to run tests suites with a reproducable setup, or in continuous
integration pipelines.
Currently mutter don't have any tests that can run on top of vkms, but
will eventually get that. To prepare for the ability to do that, and
having said kernel module loaded without causing wierd issues with any
active session, add an udev rule that tells mutter to ignore any vkms
device.
Otherwise, when vkms is loaded, mutter would detect it, assume it's a
regular monitor, configure it as such, thus add a region of the stage
that ends up nowhere, which isn't very helpful. It might also conflict
with running actual tests that need to interact with vkms if the active
session has taken control of it.

The intel DRM driver is known for not being able to handle multi head
setups when KMS modifiers are enabled, due to the implicitly selected
modifiers, while being more suitable for single head setups, cause
bandwidth issues when a certain number of monitor times resolution and
refresh rate is configured.
We don't yet support automatically finding a combination of modifiers
that work, and have because of this disabled KMS modifiers unless the
driver actually needs it.
Lets flip this configuration the other way around, changing the current
udev rule to decide wen to *disable* KMS modifier support, as it so that
only the Intel driver has this problem, while on the other hand, there
several drivers that requires modifiers to function at all.

This eliminates the need for any render node or device nodes, thus can
be used without any graphics hardware available at all, or with a
graphics driver without any render node available.
The surfaceless mode currently requires EGL_KHR_no_config_context to
configure the initial EGL display.
This also means we can enable the native backend tests in CI, as it
should work without any additional privileges.

With this commit, it's possible to run mutter without being DRM master.
It's not yet possible to add virtual monitors, but one can for example
already add virtual input devices.
This currently doesn't try to hook up to any logind session, thus will
not have a real seat assigned. Currently it's hard coded to "seat0".
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1698>
Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

Make it possible to pass --headless as a command line argument in order
to turn the native backend "headless". This currently doesn't do
anything, but the intention is that it should not use logind nor KMS,
and work completely headless with only virtual outputs.

Suspending might have changed the CRTC configuration, turning some off,
some on, etc. We need to update our internal representation of this
state, so that we know how to reconfigure upon resuming, e.g. what CRTCs
to turn off again.

This means backend implementations can have more control of the order of
how things are destroyed. To be precise, this will, in the next commit,
allow us to destroy the logind integration after the clutter backend
thus the libinput owning seat, that uses the logind integration to
release input devices.

Make it impossible to add individual includes of input thread objects.
This must go through meta-input-thread.h now, which should be enough
to make anyone think it twice.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

Push it a little bit down to the MetaSeatNative. As both the UI thread
and the input thread are interested in dealing with the xkb_keymap and
it is not meant to be used in different threads, keep 2 separate copies
around.
The keyboard map will always be set from the UI thread, so the xkb_keymap
owned by the MetaSeatNative (owned by the UI thread) can be considered
canonical.

Banish MetaInputSettings from MetaBackend "public" API, it's now meant to
spend the rest of its days in the backend dungeons, maybe hanging
off a thread.
MetaInputMapper replaces all external uses.

Different devices may get standalone cursor renderers, add this API
to adapt slowly to this. The meta_backend_get_cursor_renderer() call
still exists, but shortcuts to the mouse pointer's renderer (as it
actually did before).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
xkb recently gained support for user-specified keymaps, which means we
can no longer assume that the configuration data is necessarily fully
complete or correct; and the configuration language is quite a labyrinth,
so it's easy to get wrong. If setting the keymap fails, leave it in
whatever state it previously had, since that seems preferable to crashing
with a NULL pointer dereference.

Sometimes the automatically selected primary GPU isn't suitable with no
way to make an well educated guess to do it better. To make it possible
for the user to override the automatically calculated default, make it
possible to override it using a udev rule.
E.g. to select /dev/dri/card1 as the primary GPU, add a file e.g.
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-primary-gpu.rules (path my vary
depending on distribution) containing the fellowing line:
ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card1", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"
Reboot or manual triggering of udev rules to make it take effect may be
required.
