The remote desktop session currently provides a mechanism to acquire
mapping ids.
However, when they are not used anymore, they currently cannot be
removed and thus just linger around.
So, add an API to release these acquired ids.

If we're a input-only remote desktop session, create libei regions on an
absolute pointer device corresponding to all logical monitors. This
allows absolute pointer motions without screen casting.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3228>
Sometimes it makes no sense to have a shared pointer device, for example
when they have no set region occupying the global stage coordinate
space. This applies to for example window screen cast based pointer
device regions - they are always local to the window, and have no
position.
We do need shared absolute devices in some cases though, primarily
multi-head remote desktop, where it must be possible to keep a button
reliably pressed when crossing monitors that have their own
corresponding regions.
To handle this, outsource all this policy to the one who drives the
emulated input devices. Remote desktop sessions where the screen casts
correspond to specific monitors (physical or virtual), we need to make
sure they map to the stage coordinate space, while for window screencast
or area screencasts, we create standalone absolute pointer devices with
a single region each.

Remote desktop version 2 added a new method ConnectToEIS .
ConnectToEIS allows clients to requests a file descriptor from the
compositor which can then be used directly from libei.
Once established, the communication between compositor and application
is direct, without the need to go through the portal process(es).

The pointer to the manager, the peer name and the ID are things that are
always metadata related to a session, so make them properties on the
interface instead of duplicating them. The implementations still need to
keep track of them, but their existance is shared.

This means the MetaDbusSession interface takes a more active role
instead of being something that more or less sends signals to the
interface implementor. This will allow better control when using
MetaDbusSession to manage these sessions, instead of their non-abstract
variants.

This means objects have an owner, where the chain eventually always
leads to a MetaContext. This also means that all objects can find their
way to other object instances via the chain, instead of scattered global
singletons.
This is a squashed commit originally containing the following:
cursor-tracker: Don't get backend from singleton
idle-manager: Don't get backend from singleton
input-device: Pass pointer to backend during construction
The backend is needed during construction to get the wacom database.
input-mapper: Pass backend when constructing
monitor: Don't get backend from singleton
monitor-manager: Get backend directly from monitor manager
remote: Get backend from manager class
For the remote desktop and screen cast implementations, replace getting
the backend from singletons with getting it via the manager classes.
launcher: Pass backend during construction
device-pool: Pass backend during construction
Instead of passing the (maybe null) launcher, pass the backend, and get
the launcher from there. That way we always have a way to some known
context from the device pool.
drm-buffer/gbm: Get backend via device pool
cursor-renderer: Get backend directly from renderer
input-device: Get backend getter
input-settings: Add backend construct property and getter
input-settings/x11: Don't get backend from singleton
renderer: Get backend from renderer itself
seat-impl: Add backend getter
seat/native: Get backend from instance struct
stage-impl: Get backend from stage impl itself
x11/xkb-a11y: Don't get backend from singleton
backend/x11/nested: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
crtc: Add backend property
Adding a link to the GPU isn't enough; the virtual CRTCs of virtual
monitors doesn't have one.

Currently, if g-r-d closes the read end of the pipe for a
SelectionRead() operation, due to realizing that the application, that
should provide the mime type content, does not provide any content,
mutter won't notice that and still assumes that the read() operation
on the pipe in g-r-d is still happening, as mutter never writes to the
pipe in that situation and therefore cannot realize that the pipe is
already closed.
The effect of this is, that if g-r-d aborts a read() operation and
requests a new read() operation via SelectionRead(), mutter will deny
the request since it assumes that the previous read() operation is
still ongoing.
Fix this behaviour by also checking the pipe fd in mutter before
denying a SelectionRead() request.

There may be a race between the ability to turn stream relative input
coordinates and turning them into screen coordinates, due to the future
scenario where the entity backing a stream is created and managed ad-hoc
depending on PipeWire stream negotiations.
When an input event is sent during this time, drop it.

When a transfer request is done to the MetaSelectionSourceRemote source,
it's translated to a SelectionTransfer signal, which the remote desktop
server is supposed to respond to with SelectionWrite.
A timeout (set to 15 seconds) is added to handle too long timeouts,
which cancels the transfer request.

Nothing is hooked up, it only does basic sanity checking i.e. whether
the clipboard was enabled when interacting with it. No actual clipboard
integration is hooked up yet.
This also syncs org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.xml from
gnome-remote-desktop.

Currently, the NotifyPointerAxis method always assumes that the scroll
source is CLUTTER_SCROLL_SOURCE_FINGER.
This is however not always true and in some cases a remote desktop
client needs to submit a PointerAxis event with a custom axis step.
This is for example the case with high resolution mouse wheels, where
the NotifyPointerAxisDiscrete method is unsuitable.
In such cases NotifyPointerAxis needs to be called, but with the
intention that the scroll source is still a mouse wheel.
To solve this situation, don't assume the scroll source always to be
CLUTTER_SCROLL_SOURCE_FINGER.
Instead, add further flag options to NotifyPointerAxis, which allow a
remote desktop client to choose the scroll source.
This way a remote desktop client can choose what scroll source is the
most suitable one for the current scroll event.

The portal API requires a screencast session only for absolution motion
with remote desktop, other methods including relative motion do not
require a screencast session.
There is no reason to be more strict than the API actually is, check for
a screencast session only when required, like for absolute motion events
and touch events.
Tested with https://gitlab.gnome.org/snippets/1122
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1307
They all checked that the remote session service talked with the
correct peer, and some of them did check that there is an associated
screencast session.
Add a new check for the session being started (as it's state is
decoupled with screencast session availability) and move all checks
to a function that is called from all input-oriented DBus methods.

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.

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.

Virtual keyboard and pointer are freed on session close, but the
virtual touchscreen isn't.
Avoid a leak by freeing the virtual touchscreen along with the rest of
virtual devices.
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.
Add API to let GNOME Shell have the ability to get notified about remote
access sessions (remote desktop, remote control and screen cast), and
with a way to close them.
This is done by adding an abstraction above the remote desktop and
screen cast session objects, to avoid exposing their objects to outside
of mutter. Doing that would result in external parts holding references
to the objects, complicating their lifetimes. By using separate wrapper
objects, we avoid this issue all together.
If the coordinates was for a stream not at the stage position (0, 0),
they'd be incorrect. Fix this by correctly translating the coordinates
according to the stream position.
This commit adds basic screen casting and remote desktoping
functionalty. This works by exposing two D-Bus API services:
org.gnome.Mutter.ScreenCast and org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.
The remote desktop API is used to create remote desktop sessions. For
each session, a D-Bus object is created, and an application can manage
the session by sending messages to the session object. A remote desktop
session the user to emit input events using the D-Bus methods on the
session object. To get framebuffer content, the application should
create an associated screen cast session.
The screen cast API is used to create screen cast sessions. One can so
far either create stand-alone screen cast sessions, or a screen cast
session associated with a remote desktop session. A remote desktop
associated screen cast session is managed by the remote desktop session.
So far only remote desktop managed screen cast sessions are implemented.
Each screen cast session may have one or more streams. A screen cast
stream is a stream of buffers of some part of the compositor content.
So far API exists for creating streams of monitors and windows, but
only monitor streams are implemented.
When a screen cast session is started, the one PipeWire stream is
created for each screen cast stream created for the session. When this
has happened, a PipeWireStreamAdded signal is emitted on the stream
object, passing a unique identifier. The application may use this
identifier to find the associated stream being advertised by the
PipeWire daemon.
The remote desktop and screen cast functionality must be explicitly be
enabled at ./configure time by passing --enable-remote-desktop to
./configure. Doing this will build both screen cast and remote desktop
support.
To actually enable the screen casting and remote desktop, the user must
enable the experimental feature. See
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features.
