Ensure we issue a motion event for the current pointer position,
as there might be situations where compositor modals get X grabs
from other clients stacked on top, or missed events in between
otherwise.
Ensure the Clutter state is still up-to-date afterwards here. This
replaces some sync_pointer() calls done in GNOME Shell code, always
done after modality changes.

This means backend implementations can have more control of the order of
how things are destroyed. To be precise, this will, in the next commit,
allow us to destroy the logind integration after the clutter backend
thus the libinput owning seat, that uses the logind integration to
release input devices.

We had code in both backends that sort of independently associated
sequences to slots. Make both transform slots to sequences the same
way, so they may share the implementation convert those back to slots.
This helper now lives in Clutter API.

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().

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

It was removed in 3.34 as part of 6ed5d2e2. And we thought that was the
only thread that might exist and use X11. But the top gnome-shell crasher
in 3.36 seems to suggest otherwise.
We don't know what or where the offending thread is, but since:
1. We used XInitThreads for years already prior to 3.34; and
2. Extensions or any change to mutter/gnome-shell could conceivably use
threads to make X calls, directly or indirectly,
it's probably a good idea to reintroduce XInitThreads. The failing assertion
in libx11 is also accompanied by a strong hint:
```
fprintf(stderr, "[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client " \
"and XInitThreads has not been called\n");

When a touch sequence was rejected, the emulated pointer events would be
replayed with old timestamps. This caused issues with grabs as they
would be ignored due to being too old. This was mitigated by making sure
device event timestamps never travelled back in time by tampering with
any event that had a timestamp seemingly in the past.
This failed when the most recent timestamp that had been received were
much older than the timestamp of the new event. This could for example
happen when a session was left not interacted with for 40+ days or so;
when interacted with again, as any new timestamp would according to
XSERVER_TIME_IS_BEFORE() still be in the past compared to the "most
recent" one. The effect is that we'd always use the `latest_evtime` for
all new device events without ever updating it.
The end result of this was that passive grabs would become active when
interacted with, but would then newer be released, as the timestamps to
XIAllowEvents() would out of date, resulting in the desktop effectively
freezing, as the Shell would have an active pointer grab.
To avoid the situation where we get stuck with an old `latest_evtime`
timestamp, limit the tampering with device event timestamp to 1) only
pointer events, and 2) only during the replay sequence. The second part
is implemented by sending an asynchronous message via the X server after
rejecting a touch sequence, only potentially tampering with the device
event timestamps until the reply. This should avoid the stuck timestamp
as in those situations, we'll always have a relatively up to date
`latest_evtime` meaning XSERVER_TIME_IS_BEFORE() will not get confused.

Threaded swap wait was added for using together with the Nvidia GLX
driver due to the lack of anything equivalent to the INTEL_swap_event
GLX extension. The purpose was to avoid inhibiting the invocation of
idle callbacks when constantly rendering, as the combination of
throttling on swap-interval 1 and glxSwapBuffers() and the frame clock
source having higher priority than the default idle callback sources
meant they would never be invoked.
This was solved in gbz#779039 by introducing a thread that took care of
the vsync waiting, pushing frame completion events to the main thread
meaning the main thread could go idle while waiting to draw the next
frame instead of blocking on glxSwapBuffers().
As of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/363, the
main thread will instead use prediction to estimate when the next frame
should be drawn. A side effect of this is that even without
INTEL_swap_event, we would not block as much, or at all, on
glxSwapBuffers(), as at the time it is called, we have likely already
hit the vblank, or will hit it soon.
After having introduced the swap waiting thread, it was observed that
the Nvidia driver used a considerable amount of CPU waiting for the
vblank, effectively wasting CPU time. The need to call glFinish() was
also problematic as it would wait for the frame to finish, before
continuing. Due to this, remove the threaded swap wait, and rely only on
the frame clock not scheduling frames too early.

The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendX11, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.

Introduce MetaCompositorX11, dealing with being a X11 compositor, and

XkbNewKeyboardNotify informs the client that there is a new keyboard
driving the VCK. It is essentially meant to notify that the keyboard
possibly has a different range of HW keycodes and/or a different
geometry.
But the translation of those keycodes remain the same, and we don't
do range checks or geometry checks (beyond using KEY_GRAVE as "key
under Esc", but that is hardly one). It seems we can avoid the
busywork that is releasing all our passive grabs, reloading the keymap
and regenerating the keycombos and restoring the passive grabs.

Modal ungrabs may be followed by other clients trying to grab themselves,
flush the connection so we ensure the right order of events on the Xserver
side.
An example of this is js/ui/modalDialog.js in gnome-shell, as the alt-F2
dialog may launch X11 clients trying to grab themselves, commit a40daa3c22
in gnome-shell handled the case and added a gdk_display_sync() call to
ensure no grab existed at the time of executing.
This commit aims to achieve the same built in MetaBackend. A full sync
seems excessive though, as we just need to make sure the server got the
messages queued before the other side tries to grab, a XFlush seems
sufficient for this.
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.
meta_backend_x11_grab_device is performing X server clock comparison
using the MAX macro, which comes down to a simple greater-than.
Use XSERVER_TIME_IS_BEFORE, which is a better macro for X server
clock comparisons, as it accounts for 32-bit wrap-around.

Force update the cursor renderer after theme or size changes; otherwise
we'll be stuck with the old theme and/or size until something else

While MetaStage, MetaWindowGroup and MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton don't
appear explicitly in the public API, their gtypes are still exposed via
meta_get_stage_for_screen(), meta_get_*window_group_for_screen() and
MetaMonitorManager's parent type. Newer versions of gjs will warn about
undefined properties if it encounters a gtype without introspection
information, so expose those types to shut up the warnings.

Now that we've removed the X11 specific backend of the idle monitor,
add back a cut-down version of it for the explicit purpose of being
told about idle time resets when XTest events are used.
XTest events are usually used by test suites and remote display software
to inject events into an X11 session. We should consider somebody moving
the mouse remotely to be just as "active" as somebody moving it locally.

And use the old "native" backend for both X11 and Wayland. This will

A comparison in translate_device_event() does not account for the fact
that X's clock wraps about every 49.7 days. When triggered, this causes

which accounts for the wrapping of X's clock.

Set up things so that if the INTEL_swap_event extension is not present,
but the driver is known to have good thread support, we use an extra
thread and call glXWaitVideoSync() in the thread. This allows idles
to work properly, even when Mutter is constantly redrawing new frames;
otherwise, without INTEL_swap_event, we'll just block in glXSwapBuffers().
