Instead of using a environment variable, add a new 'experimental
feature' gsetting keyword "monitor-config-manager" that enables the use
of the new MetaMonitorConfigManager. This commit also makes it possible
to switch between the two systems without restarting mutter.
The D-Bus API is disabled when the experimental feature is not enabled,
and clients trying to access it will get a access-denied error in
response. A new property 'IsExperimentalApiEnabled' is added to let the
D-Bus client know whether it is possible to use the experimental API or
not.

This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).

Make the concept of maximum screen size optional, as it is not
necessarily a thing on all systems (e.g. when using the native backend
and stage views).
The meta_monitor_monitor_get_limits() function is replaced by a
meta_monitor_manager_get_max_screen_size() which fails when no screen
limit is available. Callers and other users of the previous max screen
size fields are updated to deal with the fact that the limit is
optional.
The new D-Bus API is changed to move it to the properties bag, where
its absence means there is no applicable limit.

Add a new D-Bus API that uses the state from GetCurrentState to
configure high level monitors, instead of low level CRTCs and
connectors. So far persistent configuration is not implemented, as
writing to the configuration store is still not supported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Logical monitors in a configuration must be adjecent to each other,
meaning there will be at least one pixel long side touching some other
logical monitor.
The exception to this is when there is only one logical monitor, which
cannot be adjecent to any other.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backends decide whether to just rebuild a derived state, or use
the NULL config to rebuild an empty logical state.
This also changes the expected screen size values of the no-outputs
test; as this case is actually handled now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Replace the 'scale' of an output with a vfunc on the MetaMonitorManager
class that takes a monitor and a monitor mode which calculates the
scale. On X11 this always returns 1, on KMS, the old formula is used.
On the dummy and test backends, the already configured values are
returned.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Expose via a new API whether the transform on a logical monitor is
handled by the backend. This was previously only exposed only in the
native backend. This will be used to emulate not supporting transforms
in the backend in the nested backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Make sure that each logical monitor owns the expected actual monitors.
This currently needs special care when dealing with laptop lid the
configuration, as the MetaMonitorConfigManager path still deosn't
handle restoring the previous configuration, meaning the logical
monitor with the external monitor will continue being primary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This is partly redundant given that the current monitor mode is checked
against the CRTC mode, but this also checks the disabled CRTCs. Later
the configured mode position and transform will be checked.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Check that the crtc mode has the correct intra-monitor position. In
effect, this tests that the CRTCs in a tiled monitor are configured with
the correct mode on the correct position.

The main output of the main (first) monitor of a primary logical
monitor should have the MetaOutput::is_primary field set; all other
outputs should have it not set.
All outputs associated with a logical monitor with presentation set
should have MetaOutput::is_presentation set. No other outputs should
have it set.

Add a flag to the test setup creation function enabling the caller to
specify whether a stored config should be used. This is done by
changing the value of the hotplug_mode_update MetaOutput field,
normally used by VMs to do the same.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Both the monitor unit tests and monitor store unit tests will want to
check whether the config manager is used and set custom configuration
files.

Don't let a dummy option context consume the arguments; just let the
GLib test suite do it. It'll handle the basic command line arguments
and allow doing things such as specifying what test to run.

This tests only the monitor configuration and basic functionality. It
does not test anything related to window management and Wayland client
interaction.

Use the g_assert_cmp(int|uint|...) macros when comparing integers and
unsigned integers. This means that the mismatched numbers are printed
in the test report.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a test case that checks that configuration works when the lid is
initialy closed then later opened. This test case is disabled when the
legacy configuration is used as it does not handle that situation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.
Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).
The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).
The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.

The function meta_monitor_manager_read_current_config() was renamed to
meta_monitor_manager_read_current_state() as it does not read any
configuration, but reads the current state as described by the backend.
