The local copy of the clip- and unobscured region are used to optimize
painting. To get correct results when the actor is scaled, thus "grows",
the corresponding regions have to "shrink", i.e. get scaled down.

Just as with painting, add a pick context that carries pick related
temporary state when doing actor picking. It is currently unused, and
will at least at first still carry around a framebuffer to deal track
view transforms etc.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/935
When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.

Move out updating of various shapes (input, opaque, shape) indirectly
from X11 to the corresponding X11 sub types of MetaWindowActor and
MetaSurfaceActor.
Also move fullscreen window unredirection code with it. We want to
effectively do something similar for MetaCompositorServer, but it will
work differently enough not to share too much logic.
While it would have been nice to move things piece by piece, things were
too intertwined to make it feasible.
This has the side effect fixing accidentally and arbitrarily adding
server side shadow to Wayland surfaces.

Currently, Clutter does picking by drawing with Cogl and reading
the pixel that's beneath the given point. Since Cogl has a journal
that records drawing operations, and has optimizations to read a
single pixel from a list of rectangle, it would be expected that
we would hit this fast path and not flush the journal while picking.
However, that's not the case: dithering, clipping with scissors, etc,
can all flush the journal, issuing commands to the GPU and making
picking slow. On NVidia-based systems, this glReadPixels() call is
extremely costly.
Introduce geometric picking, and avoid using the Cogl journal entirely.
Do this by introducing a stack of actors in ClutterStage. This stack
is cached, but for now, don't use the cache as much as possible.
The picking routines are still tied to painting.
When projecting the actor vertexes, do it manually and take the modelview
matrix of the framebuffer into account as well.

The MetaShapedTexture created by MetaSurfaceActor used to
be a ClutterActor, which means destruction was taken care
by Clutter.
Now that it's a plain GObject, we need to manually clean it
up.
Cleanup the shaped texture on disposal.

Geometry scale is applied to each surface individually, using
Clutter scales, and not only this breaks subsurfaces, it also
pollutes the toolkit and makes the actor tree slightly too
fragile. If GNOME Shell mistakenly tries to set the actor scale
of any of these surfaces, for example, various artifacts might
happen.
Move geometry scale handling to MetaWindowActor. It is applied
as a child transform operation, so that the Clutter-managed
scale properties are left untouched.
In the future where the entirety of the window is managed by a
ClutterContent itself, the geometry scale will be applied
directly into the transform matrix of MetaWindowActor. However,
doing that now would break the various ClutterClones used by
GNOME Shell, so the child transform is an acceptable compromise
during this transition.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/409
Now that MetaShapedTexture is not a ClutterActor anymore, it does
not make sense to make it a MetaCullable semi-implementation. This
is, naturally, a responsibility of MetaSurfaceActor, since now
MetaShapedTexture is a ClutterContent and as such, it only cares
about what to draw.
Move the MetaCullable implementation of MetaShapedTexture to
MetaSurfaceActor.

MetaWindowActor is the compositor-side representative of a
MetaWindow. Specifically it represents the geometry of the
window under Clutter scene graph. MetaWindowActors are backed
by MetaSurfaceActors, that represent the windowing system's
surfaces themselves. Naturally, these surfaces have textures
with the pixel content of the clients associated with them.
These textures are represented by MetaShapedTexture.
MetaShapedTextures are currently implemented as ClutterActor
subclasses that override the paint function to paint the
textures it holds.
Conceptually, however, Clutter has an abstraction layer for
contents of actors: ClutterContent. Which MetaShapedTexture
fits nicely, in fact.
Make MetaShapedTexture a ClutterContent implementation. This
forces a few changes in the stack:
* MetaShapedTexture now handles buffer scale.
* We now paint into ClutterPaintNode instead of the direct
framebuffer.
* Various pieces of Wayland code now use MetaSurfaceActor
instead of MetaShapedTexture.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland doesn't override size negotiation
vfuncs anymore

This implements the viewporter protocol which offers a cropping and scaling
capabilities to wayland clients.
There are several use cases for this, for example video players and games,
both as a convenience function and as potential performance optimization when
paired with hardware overlays etc.

Commit 25f416c13d added additional compilation warnings, including
-Werror=return-type. There are several places where this results
in build failures if `g_assert_not_reached()` is disabled at compile
time and the compiler misses a return value.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/447
This adds the necessary bits to support Wayland buffer transforms.
The main part here is to properly setup the Cogl pipeline
and to recalculate the size of the painted area accordingly,
so culling etc. still works.
The choosen approach additionally lays groundwork for Wayland
wp_viewporter support.

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.
The special ::pick implementation there makes clutter fall into paths
that do require a get_paint_volume() implementation, or an infinite
area will be used.
Providing a paint volume here is easier on the invalidation mechanism.
We ignore all damage while a surface is frozen and queue a full
update instead once it's thawed. While not super efficient, this
isn't overly bad for the intended case of catching up with any
updates that happened during a compositor effect. However when
extended frame sync is used, surfaces are also frozen while the
client is drawing a frame, in which case the current behavior is
pretty damaging (pun intended), as we end up redrawing the entire
window each frame. To address this, keep track of the actual damage
we ignore and apply it when the surface is thawed.

We can detect that these windows are already fully opaque, so allow them
to unredirect. Allows unredirecting Totem during video playback, giving
a significant speed boost.
The parent pick() implementation in ClutterActor only recurses if the
vfunc is untouched, which means it's up to the MetaWaylandSurface
implementation to actually recurse, just the same as if an input mask
applied.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738890
If the actor surface has an input mask, custom picking is implemented
for the portions affected by the mask, although the child actors (most
usually subsurfaces) are left out.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738890
meta_surface_actor_is_argb32 assumes that lack of stex means that a window is
ARGB32. When we unredirect a window we detach the texture so we end up without
a texture. Given that should_unredirect returns FALSE when a window is argb32,
we know that this window is indeed not ARGB32.
Returing TRUE in that case causes us to flip between redirected and
unredirected on every paint.
So fix that by returning FALSE in that case.
It doesn't make sense to update it in the surface actor. It's also
theoretically wrong to update the buffer's texture on surface commit,
too, because it's buffer state, not surface state, but I don't think
there's any place we use a wl_buffer without a wl_surface.
Connecting to size-changed is wrong -- size-changed tells us when
we *told* the X server or resize the window. For X11, we're sort of
guaranteed that the surface will be updated at some point before the
next frame, but for Xwayland, we can't be sure that the new surface is
attached at this point.
This fixes weird artifacts when resizing apps like xclock.
cogl_texture_get_components can be used on both X11 and Wayland
backends. Technically, the detection is different: we actually
check the actual RENDER format in the old code, while Cogl simply
assumes that any pixmap with a depth >= 32 is ARGB32. Since Cogl
already seems to be working with its internal checks, it makes
more sense to use Cogl's check rather than keeping our own.
Turns out we only ever need to freeze/thaw whole windows, not
surfaces or subsurfaces.
This will allow removing the surface actor without losing
the count.
The rendering logic before was somewhat complex. We had three independent
cases to take into account when doing rendering:
* X11 compositor. In this case, we're a traditional X11 compositor,
not a Wayland compositor. We use XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get
the backing pixmap for the window, and deal with the COMPOSITE
extension messiness.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is FALSE.
* Wayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor managing
Wayland surfaces. The rendering for this is fairly straightforward,
as Cogl handles most of the complexity with EGL and SHM buffers...
Wayland clients give us the input and opaque regions through
wl_surface.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_WAYLAND.
* XWayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor, like
above, and XWayland hands us Wayland surfaces. XWayland handles
the COMPOSITE extension messiness for us, and hands us a buffer
like any other Wayland client. We have to fetch the input and
opaque regions from the X11 window ourselves.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_X11.
We now split the rendering logic into two subclasses, which are:
* MetaSurfaceActorX11, which handles the X11 compositor case, in that
it uses XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get the backing pixmap, and
deal with all the COMPOSITE extension messiness.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland, which handles the Wayland compositor case
for both native Wayland clients and XWayland clients. XWayland handles
COMPOSITE for us, and handles pushing a surface over through the
xf86-video-wayland DDX.
Frame sync is still in MetaWindowActor, as it needs to work for both the
X11 compositor and XWayland client cases. When Wayland's video display
protocol lands, this will need to be significantly overhauled, as it would
have to work for any wl_surface, including subsurfaces, so we would need
surface-level discretion.

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.
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".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
Since subsurfaces won't have toplevel MetaWindowActors, we need to
use MetaSurfaceActor instead. These are embedded in the MetaWindowActor,
just like MetaShapedTexture was (in fact, MetaSurfaceActor now contains
a MetaShapedTexture)
