We can't post tasks to the input thread when cleaning up the
MetaSeatImpl, as that will make the GTask complain about adding
references to a to be purged object. Avoid this by adding an explicit
meta_seat_impl_destroy() function that handles the destruction of the
MetaSeatImpl properly.
This also does more of the cleanup in the input thread, as that is where
it was managed. Will likely not make a difference as before this
happened after tearing down the thread, but lets tear down things in the
thread they were managed for good measure.
This fixes the last log spew I see right now when terminating mutter.

Make it impossible to add individual includes of input thread objects.
This must go through meta-input-thread.h now, which should be enough
to make anyone think it twice.

They're a dime a dozen. If it gets called exclusively from the
input thread, it got one. Hopefully these breadcrumbs will be
enough so people don't lose their way here.

This (now) doesn't change anything in regards to the API that the UI
thread should access from the MetaSeatImpl. The MetaInputDeviceNative,
MetaInputSettings and MetaKeymap objects are now considered owned by
the input thread, as well as all of libinput objects.
The MetaEventSource now dispatches events in a GMainContext that is
the thread default to this thread, and all UI-thread-accessible API
(seat and virtual input device API) will be handled in a serialized
manner by that same input thread.
The MetaSeatImpl itself is still considered to be owned by the caller
thread, and all the signals that this object emits will be emitted in
the GMainContext that is default at the time of calling
meta_seat_impl_new().
The MetaInputSettings configuration changes will likewise be handled
in the input thread, close to libinput devices.

This API is the one accessed from different bits of the UI thread,
make it "async" (it's basically one-way setters, so API stays the same
in the surface) and able to run in the MetaSeatImpl main context.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

Push it a little bit down to the MetaSeatNative. As both the UI thread
and the input thread are interested in dealing with the xkb_keymap and
it is not meant to be used in different threads, keep 2 separate copies
around.
The keyboard map will always be set from the UI thread, so the xkb_keymap
owned by the MetaSeatNative (owned by the UI thread) can be considered
canonical.

Wrap all keyboard state updates, and all pointer/stylus/touch cursor
position with a write lock, and ::query_state() (The only entrypoint
to this state from other threads) with a read lock.
The principle is that query_state may be called from different threads
(UI so far, but maybe KMS too in the future), while the input thread
may (or may not) be updating it. This state is fetched "atomically"
(eg. x/y will be consistently old or new, if the input thread were
updating it at the same time).
There's other places deep in backends/native that read this state,
they all will run in the input thread, so they count as "other readers"
to the other thread. Those changes are already mutually exclusive with
updates, so they don't explicitly need the RW lock.

These changes will happen in the input event management code, so let them
be emitted via the MetaSeatImpl, as that's what we'll have neat access to.
The ClutterSeat signals are now emitted from there.

Move most of the functional bits (those meant to run on a standalone
thread) to a MetaSeatImpl object. This object is managed by the MetaSeatImpl
and not exposed outside the friend MetaSeatNative/MetaInputDeviceNative/
MetaInputSettings classes.
