If the drag dest surface suddenly disappears, we may find ourselves
processing an XdndPosition message that was sent before the X11 drag
source had an opportunity to find out.
In that case mutter does know, so double check before processing the
messages.
We try to translate the atom with its corresponding mimetype both back
and forth, which actually breaks if the X11 client chose to announce the
mimetype atom. To do the translation properly, keep track on whether the
source announced the UTF8_STRING atom, and reply back with this only if
that happened.
Firstly, this patch makes MetawaylandDataSource a GObject. This is in
order to easier track its lifetime without adding destroy signals etc. It
also makes the vfunc table GObject class functions instead while at it,
as well as moves protocol specific part of the source into their own
implementations.
An important part of this patch is the change of ownership. Prior to this
patch, MetaWaylandDataDevice would kind of own the source, but for
Wayland sources it would remove it if the corresponding wl_resource was
destroyed. For XWayland clients it would own it completely, and only
remove it if the source was replaced.
This patch changes so that the protocol implementation owns the source.
For Wayland sources, the wl_resource owns the source, and the
MetaWaylandDataDevice sets a weak reference (so in other words, no
semantical changes really). For XWayland sources, the source is owned by
the selection bridge, and not removed until replaced or if the client
goes away.
Given the changes in ownership, data offers may now properly track the
lifetime of a source it represents. Prior to this patch, if an offer with
an XWayland source would loose its source, it wouldn't get notified and
have an invalid pointer it would potentally crash on. For Wayland
sources, an offer would have a weak reference and clean itself up if the
source went away. This patch changes so the behavior is consistent,
meaning a weak reference is added to the source GObject so that the offer
can behave correctly both for Wayland sources and XWayland sources.

When DnD is started from an X11 client, mutter now sets up an special
grab that 1) Ensures the drag source keeps receiving events, and 2)
Moves an internal X Window over wayland clients as soon as the pointer
enters over these.
That window will act as the X-side peer for the currently focused
wayland client, and will transform XdndEnter/Position/Leave/Drop
messages into wayland actions. If DnD happens between X11 clients,
the window will be moved away and unmapped, to let these operate as
usual.

X11 client windows now hook a X11-specific MetaWaylandDragDestFuncs
that converts these into Xdnd* messages, and an additional selection
bridge has been added to take care of XdndSelection, and the data
transfers done through it.

This piece of code hooks in both wl_data_device and the relevant X
selection events, an X11 Window is set up so it can act as the clipboard
owner when any wayland client owns the selection, reacting to
SelectionRequest events, and returning the data from the wayland client
FD to any X11 requestor through X properties.
In the opposite direction, SelectionNotify messages are received,
which results in the property contents being converted then written
into the wayland requestor's FD.
This code also takes care of the handling incremental transfers through
the INCR property type, reading/writing data chunk by chunk.
