In order to minimize the amount of breakage, while at the same time
making it easier to make backward incompatible changes needed to
continue turning libmutter into a capable Wayland compositor, make the
libmutter and friends (libmutter-clutter, libmutter-cogl*) parallel
installable by adding a version number to the name. This changes
various filenames, for example what previously was libmutter.so is now
libmutter-0.so (assuming the version for now is 0), and
libmutter-clutter-1.0.so is now libmutter-clutter-0.so. The pkg-config
filenames and GObject introspection has been renamed to reflect this as
well.
This enables a downstream compositor rely on a specific version of the
libmutter API, while gracefully handling API/ABI changes by having to
update to the new version at their own pace.

It is often useful to identify the client process that created
a particular window, however the existing meta_window_get_pid()
method relies on _NET_WM_PID, which is only available on X11 and
depends on applications to set it correctly (which may not even
be possible when the app runs in its own PID namespace as Flatpak
apps do). So add a get_client_pid() method that uses windowing
system facilities to resolve the PID associated with a particular
window.

Some output devices only advertise their preferred mode even though
they're able to display others too. This means we can include some
common modes in each output's supported list.
This is particularly important for mirroring, since we can only mirror
outputs which are using the same resolution.

Port the xdg_shell implementation to use the unstable v6 protocol. This
includes:
- making xdg_surface a generic base interface for xdg_shell surface
roles
- create a xdg_toplevel role replacing the old xdg_surface
- change the xdg_opup role to be based on xdg_surface
- make xdg_popup not grab by default
- add support for xdg_positioner
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769936
This commits adds support for exporting xdg_surface handles via
xdg_exporter and importing them via xdg_importer.
This bumps the required wayland-protocols version to 1.6.

intltool is unmaintained nowadays while upstream gettext gained
support for formats like GSettings schemas and .desktop files,
and offers a mechanism to teach it about other XML formats not
yet supported out of the box which we can use for the rest.
So there's nothing stopping us, just make the switch ...

Support changing the mouse and trackball acceleration profile. This
makes it possible to for example disable pointer acceleration by
choosing the 'flat' profile.
This adds an optional dependency on gudev. Gudev is used by the X11
backend to detect whether a device is a mouse or not. Without gudev
support, the accel profile settings has have effect for mouse devices.
Trackball still uses the "strstr" approach, since udev doesn't support
tagging devices as trackball devices yet.

Sadly, GLib's autoptr cleanup macros cannot be detected by the C
pre-processor, because they generate a function. This means that we are
forced to bump up the dependency on GLib 2.49, in order to build against
a newer version of gdbus-codegen.
Add support for sending relative pointer motion deltas to clients who
request such events by creating wp_relative_pointer objects via
wp_relative_pointer_manager.
This currently implements the unstable version 1 from wayland-protocols.

GTK+ paints some elements like box shadows (which Adwaita likes to (ab)use
for borders) outside the rectangle passed to gtk_render_*. This is not
an issue if our own invisible frame border is big enough, but in case
of non-resizable windows we end up clipping away part of the decoration.
Use the newly added gtk_render_background_get_clip() to make sure we
always use a mask that is large enough to contain all decorations.

GTK+ improved its CSS support, and the default theme started to make
use of it, so we must update our theming code accordingly. Start by
supporting min-width/min-height where it makes sense.
When the touchpad is two-finger scrolling capable, always enable it.
When the touchpad only supports edge scrolling (usually older devices, and
usually smaller devices), allow disabling the edge scrolling.
This requires a newer gsettings-desktop-schemas as the scroll-method key
was removed, and the edge-scroll-enabled key added.

Remove our own copy of the pointer gestures protocol, and us the one
installed by wayland-protocols. This also means the new fixed unstable
naming conventions are used for the new version of the protocol, which
is reflected in the change. No functional changes were made, it is only
a rename.

When running as a native compositor, we can just do that. However, the
previous code must stay for whenever it's run as a X11 client.
Additionally, the fallback switch{} that transforms clutter 1-indexed
buttons into input.h event codes had to be adapted to the change introduced
in clutter commit 83b738c0e, where the 4-7 button range is kept clear for
compatibility with the X11 backend.

If GL advertises this extension we'll use it to synchronize X with GL
rendering instead of relying on the XSync() behavior with open source
drivers.
Some driver bugs were uncovered while working on this so if we have
had to reboot the ring a few times, something is probably wrong and
we're likely to just make things worse by continuing to try. Let's
err on the side of caution, disable ourselves and fallback to the
XSync() path in the compositor.

The gtk-doc reference is woefully maintained, and trying to actually
generate it resulted in some extremely outdated and poor documentation.
If somebody wants to actually renew the docs, just revert this commit,
otherwise, I'm not going to bother.
This way, we won't be hit with BadValue errors if we set it to a value
outside the X device's range. This can happen for touchpads without
two-finger scrolling, for instance.
Mutter uses a function from libXrender (XRenderFindStandardFormat in
src/x11/iconcache.c), but doesn't link to libXrender. This causes
link issues on systems using the gold linker, particularly with
-Wl,--as-needed.
Since mutter is using a function from libXrender, adding 'xrender'
as a dependency seems appropriate, and fixes the issue.

Whoops, I made the code work without it, but forgot to strip it from the
actual list of requires packages.

Add a basic framework for tests of Mutter handling of client behavior;
mutter-test-runner is a Mutter-based compositor that forks off instances
of mutter-test-client and sends commands to them based on scripts.
The scripts also include assertions.
mutter-test-runner always runs in nested-Wayland mode since the separate
copy of Xwayland is helpful in giving a reliably clean X server to
test against.
Initially the commands and assertions are designed to test the stacking
behavior of Mutter, but the framework should be extensible to test other
parts of client behavior like focus.
The tests are installed according to:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
if --enable-installed-tests is passed to configure. You can run them
uninstalled with:
cd src && make run-tests
(Not in 'make check' to avoid breaking 'make distcheck' if Mutter can't be
run nested.)

RandR's QueryOutputProperty request makes the incredible decision of
throwing a BadName if you pass a property that doesn't exist, which
means that trying to check if a property exists is a royal pain when
using Xlib.
XCB's interface is much more friendly about errors and not having global
state and things like that, so use that instead to query our backlight
property.
These methods allow us to set and get xkbcommon keymaps as well as
locking a specific layout in a layout group.
With this, we introduce dependencies on xkeyboard-config, xkbfile,
xkbcommon-x11 and a libX11 new enough to have xcb support.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734301
At this point there shouldn't be any system capable of running mutter
that doesn't have it and we're introducing functionality like setting
the keymap that has an hard requirement on it.
