The check-alive feature is there for the user to be able to terminate
frozen applications more easily. However, sometimes applications are
implemented in a way where they fail to be reply to ping requests in a
timely manner, resulting in that, to the compositor, they are
indistinguishable from clients that have frozen indefinitely.
When using an application that has these issues, the GUI showed in
response to the failure to respond to ping requests can become annoying,
as it disrupts the visual presentation of the application.
To allow users to work-around these issues, add a setting allowing them
to configure the timeout waited until an application is considered
frozen, or disabling the check completely.

This is inspired by 98892391d7 where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.

On X11, mutter needs to keep a grab on the locate-pointer key to be able
to trigger the functionality time the corresponding key combo is
pressed.
However, doing so may have side effects on other X11 clients that would
want to have a grab on the same key.
Make sure we only actually grab the key combo for "locate-pointer" only
when the feature is actually enabled, so that having the locate pointer
feature turned off (the default) would not cause side effects on other
X11 clients that might want to use the same key for their own use.

The app menu always was a GNOME-only thing, so after it was removed this
cycle, assuming that it is not displayed by the environment is a better
default.

It's a UI pattern that has been superseded by client-side decorations,
apps that used to set the hint have generally moved on to headerbars.
Given that and the limitation to server-side decorated X11 windows,
GTK4 removed the client-side API for setting the hint, it's time to
follow suite and retire the feature.

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.
Under Xorg the cursor size preference was pre-scaled originating from
gtk, while with Wayland it came directly from GSettings remaining
unscaled. Under Xwayland this caused the X11 display code to set the
wrong size with HiDPI configurations, which was often later overridden
by the equivalent code in gtk, but not always.
Fix this by always having the cursor size preference unscaled, scaling
the size correctly where it's used, depending on how it's used.

GTK+ won't be initialized if X11 is not available
Instead, when setting gtk-shell-shows-app-menu,
meta_prefs_set_show_fallback_app_menu should be
called as well.

Allow removing a prefs handler that was already removed. This allows us
to remove prefs from the dispose function without having to keep track
of it in every place.
We have been ignoring those buttons since 3.16 after they had been
broken in the default theme for a couple of versions. As nobody
appears to miss them, it's time to remove them for good.
Rest in peace you magnificent format, love-child of arcane X11 drawing
API and markup craze, you will not be missed.
We do remember however the bravery of a many men and women, who fearlessly
descended into the guts of your intrinsics and turned ugliness into beauty;
their work will still be spoken of when you will long have been forgotten.

Going through GSD's settings was done in context of patches that
did not land; it is simpler and more consistent with GTK+ to use
the corresponding XSetting instead.
We shouldn't scale the cursor size in mutter we g-s-d exports
the correct size on hidpi so use gtk-cursor-theme-size.
This way we also catch changes on resolution updates.

This reverts commit 4fe66ce0a9.
This is wrong ... we should not scale the cursor size but read
the cursor xsettings that gets exported by gsd. Also this won't update on
resolution changes.

We commonly used the generic, undetailed signal 'changed' to track
changes to preferences. Since we crash on unknown preference types,
this can be dangerous if somebody adds a new setting that has a
type we're unfamiliar with, and something else changes it.
Instead of crashing, just fizzle out doing nothing.
Now that the internal mutter bindings and gnome-shell stopped using
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES, and after moving the 'adding shift reverses
the keybinding action' logic to gnome-control-center, we can remove
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES from mutter.
Plugin API is broken as this constant is removed from the exported
headers. ABI is broken as using this flag is now a noop.

We want to synchronize the button layouts of our server side
decorations and GTK+'s client side ones. However each currently
may contain buttons not supported by the other, which makes this
unnecessarily tricky.
So add support for a new "appmenu" button in the layout, to display
the fallback app menu in the decorations.
