This adds the actual input capturing rerouting that takes events and
first hands them to the input capture session, would it be active.
Events are right now not actually processed in any way, but will
eventually be passed to a libei client using libeis.
A key binding for allowing cancelling the capture session is added
(defaults to <Super><Shift>Escape) to avoid getting stuck in case the client
doesn't even terminate the session.
The added test case makes sure that the pointer moves again after
pressing the keybinding.

This API aims to provide a way for users to capture input devices under
certain conditions, for example when a pointer crosses a specified
barrier.
So far only part of the API is implemented, specifially the session
management as well as zone advertisement, where a zone refers to a
region in the compositor which edges will eventually be made available
for barrier placement.
So far the remote access handle is created while the session is enable,
despite the input capturing isn't actually active yet. This will change
in the future once it can actually become active.
v2: Remove absolute/relative pointer, keep only pointer (ofourdan)

Xwayland got support for v4 in 23.1.0, thus let's reenable modifiers on
AMD.

The service channel D-Bus interface aims to be a "back door" for
services that needs special casing in Mutter, e.g. have custom private
protocols only meant to be used by that particular service.
There are currently no special casing implemented; only the basic
service channel infrastructure is added. There is a single method on the
interface, that is meant to eventually be used by
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome to open a Wayland connection with a private
protocol needed for the portal backend's rather special window
management needs.
The service channel Wayland client works by allowing one instance of
each "type", where each time needs to be defined to work in parallel. If
a new service client connects, the old one will be disconnected.
MetaWaylandClient's are used to manage the service clients, and are
assigned the service client type.

Currently subschemas in org.gnome.mutter are marked as child schemas,
but subschemas in org.gnome.mutter.wayland are not. There's no harm
with that, it's just nice to be consistent, and having schemas show
up in `gsettings list-children` is a nice touch.

When modifiers are enabled on mutter on some of the older i915 systems observed
Black-screen on 2nd monitor during multi-head use cases, upon debugging observed
that disabling modifiers on these systems resolved the Black-screen issue:!1618.
This issue depends whether we have enough DBuf space to provide required bandwidth
for the userspace demands. Those platforms which have less Display Buffer, will
just have more chance to face lack of it. However it still depends on various
factors like amount of planes(i.e the more planes we have, the more we divide the buffer),
refresh rate, bpp and so on.
This affects watermark calculations and the minimum blocks required for at least
wm level 0. If we don't have sufficient ddb at least for wm0 for all planes in
the configuration then it is rejected.
Until we have TEST_ONLY commit solution is built we could make sure to disable
modifiers support on these older i915 systems based on udev rules defined in this commit.
This commit makes sure that modifiers are still usable on latest i915 systems.

ATM sending modifiers to clients prevents direct scanout for DRI3
clients via Xwayland. Xwayland using the dma-buf feedback v4 Wayland
protocol will solve that, but that might take a while yet to appear in
the wild. Once that happens, this can be reverted.
Direct scanout still works for native Wayland clients as well.

Currently, the peripheral "output" setting will be unset if Mutter is
deciding automatically the mapped output of a tablet device. In that
case, gnome-control-center will have a hard time figuring out itself
the better output to show the tablet calibration UI, unless it's hand
held by Mutter.
Add this private D-Bus interface so that gnome-control-center can look
up the output as determined by Mutter to bring the missing harmony
between both. This interface consists of a simple method to get the
mapped output for a input device node.

gsd-color provides this API, which exposes details about the night light

We now only enable DMA buffer based PipeWire screen casting if a
format/modifier has been negotiated. This practically means a consumer
is aware about what is needed, and we should not try to predict that it
uses the DMA buffer the right way (i.e. not mmap:ing directly).
However, in case we're not hardware accelerated, we never want to
attempt to use DMA buffer screen sharing, as we want to avoid
compositing into a DMA buffer on such hardware as doing so can be very
slow.

When using Xwayland-on-demand (default), if the (experimental) autoclose
features is enabled, we can rely on Xwayland's auto-terminate feature
instead of explicitly killing the Xwayland process.
With it, gone is the mechanism that was added to check the X11 clients
connected and their executable to check whether we can (safely) kill
Xwayland.

Adding a <dbus/> element containing a boolean (yes/no) determines
whether org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig ApplyMonitorsConfig will be
callable. The state is also introspectable via the

The code style in the remote-desktop API is currently a mess.
While, the overall code style in mutter and gnome-remote-desktop is to
use spaces as tabulator, the remote-desktop API is mixed with both
spaces as tabulators and actual tabulators.
In addition to that, the code style in the XDG desktop portal APIs uses
spaces as tabulators as well.
To unify the code style, replace all actual tabulators with spaces.

The only currently known issue with allocating scanout buffers with
modifiers is memory constraints in multi head setups. Heuristics for
handling that are not implemented, but since it doesn't apply to
anything but i915, remove the other drivers from the deny list.
The other drivers had modifiers disabled to marginally increase the
chance of becoming scanout-able when allocated by Xwayland.

Defining valid values makes
1. changing settings less error prone
2. sure they are discoverable.
This does reset the values once on update, but fortunately does *not*
change the way to set the values. Thus e.g. enabling fractional scaling
via terminal command still works as before and internet guides stay valid.

Virtual Kernel Mode Setting (vkms) is a virtual /dev/dri/card* device
not backed by any actual hardware. It's intended for testing purposes,
e.g. to run tests suites with a reproducable setup, or in continuous
integration pipelines.
Currently mutter don't have any tests that can run on top of vkms, but
will eventually get that. To prepare for the ability to do that, and
having said kernel module loaded without causing wierd issues with any
active session, add an udev rule that tells mutter to ignore any vkms
device.
Otherwise, when vkms is loaded, mutter would detect it, assume it's a
regular monitor, configure it as such, thus add a region of the stage
that ends up nowhere, which isn't very helpful. It might also conflict
with running actual tests that need to interact with vkms if the active
session has taken control of it.

Users who customized their workspace shortcuts before updating to
GNOME 40 are experiencing troubles when trying to use the same
keybinding for the horizontal shortcuts, because of hidden conflicts
with the vertical ones.
We can address this by registering the old shortcuts with Settings
without showing them in the UI, so that they are taken into account
by Settings' conflict resolution.

Lets wait until we have better ways to unredirect client buffers before
we start enabling KMS modifiers for amdgpu and nouveau; we end up with

The intel DRM driver is known for not being able to handle multi head
setups when KMS modifiers are enabled, due to the implicitly selected
modifiers, while being more suitable for single head setups, cause
bandwidth issues when a certain number of monitor times resolution and
refresh rate is configured.
We don't yet support automatically finding a combination of modifiers
that work, and have because of this disabled KMS modifiers unless the
driver actually needs it.
Lets flip this configuration the other way around, changing the current
udev rule to decide wen to *disable* KMS modifier support, as it so that
only the Intel driver has this problem, while on the other hand, there
several drivers that requires modifiers to function at all.

Closing automatically Xwayland once all relevant X11 clients are gone is
inherently racy, if a new client comes along right at the time we're
killing Xwayland.
Fixing the possible race conditions between mutter, Xwayland and the X11
clients may take some time.
Meanwhile, make that an experimental feature "autoclose-xwayland".
