We disable modifiers for two reasons: an udev rule saying so, or the
lack of a working drmModeAddFB2(). However, to the users, this is not
granular enough. While the current user, whether to enable modifiers in
MetaRendererNative, doesn't need more granularity, we want to send
modifiers to Wayland clients even if the onscreen framebuffers should
still be allocated without modifiers.
Prepare for differentiating between how Wayland DMA buffers work and how
onscreen buffer allocation work by separating the relevant device flags.

Since we cache already all the KMS parameters we care about let's check at
each device update if anything has really changed and only in such case
emit a resources-changed signal.
In this way we can also filter out the DRM parameters that when changed
don't require a full monitors rebuild.
Examples are the gamma settings or the privacy screen parameters, that
emits an udev "hotplug" event when changed, but we want to register those
only when we handle the changed property.

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 concerns only the cases when the presentation timestamp is received
directly from the device (from KMS or from GLX). In the majority of
cases this timestamp is already MONOTONIC. When it isn't, after this
commit, the current value of the MONOTONIC clock is sampled instead.
The alternative is to store the clock id alongside the timestamp, with
possible values of MONOTONIC, REALTIME (from KMS) and GETTIMEOFDAY (from
GLX; this might be the same as REALTIME, I'm not sure), and then
"convert" the timestamp to MONOTONIC when needed. An example of such a
conversion was done in compositor.c (removed in this commit). It would
also be needed for the presentation-time Wayland protocol. However, it
seems that the vast majority of up-to-date systems are using MONOTONIC
anyway, making this effort not justified.

This commit consolidates DRM buffer management to the MetaDrmBuffer
types, where the base type handles the common functionality (such as
managing the framebuffer id using drmModeAdd*/RMFb()), and the sub types
their corresponding type specific behavior.
This means that drmModeAdd*/RmFB() handling is moved from meta-gpu-kms.c
to meta-drm-buffer.c; dumb buffer allocation/management from
meta-renderer-native.c.

With all the three paths this is quite a handful of code, and it was mostly
duplicated in two places. A follow-up patch would need to introduce a third
copy of it. Therefore move the code into a helper function.
There are two behavioral changes:
- The format error now prints the string code as well, because it is easy to
read.
- The g_debug() in init_dumb_fb() is removed. Did not seem useful.

This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for
setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From
an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current
implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state
non-atomically.
The API consists of various buliding blocks:
* MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level
handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to
set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set
connector properties.
* MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane.
Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In
the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive
the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping.
This also means various high level changes:
State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying
DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in
one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as
mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far.
From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially
always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in
the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but
postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock).
Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is
notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API.
EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being
atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g.
nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping
the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c.
Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from
meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching
meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the
impl context.
While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the
EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the
frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries
have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This
effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on
the file descriptor for pending page flips.

The intention with KMS abstraction is to hide away accessing the drm
functions behind an API that allows us to have different kind of KMS
implementations, including legacy non-atomic and atomic. The intention
is also that the code interacting with the drm device should be able to
be run in a different thread than the main thread. This means that we
need to make sure that all drm*() API usage must only occur from within
tasks that eventually can be run in the dedicated thread.
The idea here is that MetaKms provides a outward facing API other places
of mutter can use (e.g. MetaGpuKms and friends), while MetaKmsImpl is
an internal implementation that only gets interacted with via "tasks"
posted via the MetaKms object. These tasks will in the future
potentially be run on the dedicated KMS thread. Initially, we don't
create any new threads.
Likewise, MetaKmsDevice is a outward facing representation of a KMS
device, while MetaKmsImplDevice is the corresponding implementation,
which only runs from within the MetaKmsImpl tasks.
This commit only moves opening and closing the device to this new API,
while leaking the fd outside of the impl enclosure, effectively making
the isolation for drm*() calls pointless. This, however, is necessary to
allow gradual porting of drm interaction, and eventually the file
descriptor in MetaGpuKms will be removed. For now, it's harmless, since
everything still run in the main thread.

We might fail to page flip a new buffer, often after resuming, due to
the FIFO being full. Prior to this commit, we handled this by switching
over to plain mode setting instead of page flipping. This is bad because
we won't be synchronized to the refresh rate anymore, but just the
clock.
Instead, deal with this by trying again until the FIFO is no longer
full. Do this on a v-sync based interval, until it works.
This also changes the error handling code for drivers not supporting
page flipping to rely on them returning -EINVAL. The handling is moved
from pretending a page flip working to explicit mode setting in
meta-renderer-native.c.

Add a flags field to MetaGpuKms. In following commits, the flags defined
here will be set and used for choosing the primary GPU.

Add support for getting hardware presentation times from KMS (Wayland
sessions). Also implement cogl_get_clock_time which is required to compare
and judge the age of presentation timestamps.
For single monitor systems this is straightforward. For multi-monitor
systems though we have to choose a display to sync to. The compositor
already partially solves this for us in the case of only one display
updating because it will only use the subset of monitors that are
changing. In the case of multiple monitors consuming the same frame
concurrently however, we choose the fastest one (in use at the time).
Note however that we also need !73 to land in order to fully realize
multiple monitors running at full speed.
We need a way for mutter to exit if no available GPUs are going to work.
For example if gdm starts gnome-shell and we're using a DRM driver that
doesn't work with KMS then we should exit so that GDM can try with Xorg,
rather than operating in headless mode.

When using the EGLStream backend, the MetaRendererNative passed a
GClosure to KMS when using EGLStreams, but KMS flip callback event
handler in meta-gpu-kms.c expected a closure wrapped in a closure
container, meaning it'd instead crash when using EGLStreams. Make the
flip handler get what it expects also when using EGLStreams by wrapping
the flip closure in the container before handing it over to EGL.

When drmHandleEvent() returns an error and errno is set to EAGAIN,
instead of ending up in a busy loop, poll() the fd until there is
anything to read.

In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.
