This is an extremely niche feature, and conflicts with the rest of our
interface being consistent about not allowing resizing while tiled or
maximized.
Putting X windows and pointers to MetaWindows into a union had a number of
problems:
- It caused awkward initialization and conditionalization
- There was no way to refer to Wayland windows (represented by
MetaWindow *) in the past, which is necessary for the MetaStackTracker
algorithms
- We never even cleaned up old MetaStackWindow so there could be
records in MetaStackWindow pointing to freed MetaWindow.
Replace MetaStackWindow with a 64-bit "stack ID" which is:
- The XID for X Windows
- a "window stamp" for Wayland windows - window stamps are assigned
for all MetaWindow and are unique across the life of the process.

Add a private hook for the test framework to get XSyncAlarmEvent events -
this will be used to implement XSyncCounter based synchronization
so that the test framework can deterministically wait until Mutter
has seen actions performed by an X11 client.

We've long used a switch statement on the grab operation to determine
where events should go. The issue with MetaGrabOp is that it's a mixture
of a few different things, including event routing, state management,
and the behavior to choose during operations.
This leads to poorly defined event routing and hard-to-follow logic,
since it's sometimes unclear what should point where, and our utility
methods for determining grab operations apart can be poorly named.
To fix this, establish the concept of a "event route", which describes
where events should be routed to.
Popups could not set the cursor image, because the cursor tracker would
ignore window cursors if we had a popup active. The correct condition to
check for is already in should_block_wayland. Rename this to the more
sensible name windows_are_interactable, and use it in the cursor tracker.
At this point there shouldn't be any system capable of running mutter
that doesn't have it and we're introducing functionality like setting
the keymap that has an hard requirement on it.

This function tells the obvious on X11, and implements a similar mechanism
on wayland to determine the "pointer emulating" sequence, or one to stick
with when implementing single-touch behavior.

The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart
itself.
meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.

Now that we have two connections to the X server, the idea of a
ref-counted server grab that might be held across extended portions
of code is very dangerous since we might try to use the backend
connection while the frontend connection is grabbed.
Replace the only usage (which was local) with direct
XGrabServer/XUngrabServer usage and remove the meta_display_grab()
API.

This makes sure that we see them for Wayland clients as well, and don't
time out and crash when we're accessing an invalid window / surface.

Now that we don't have to regrab to change the cursor, since it's
simply the cursor on the root window, all we have to do is update
the cursor on the screen.
Grab operations are now always taken on the backend connection, and
this breaks GTK+'s event handling.
Instead of taking a grab op, just do the handling ourselves. The
GTK+ connection will get an implicit grab, which means pointer /
keyboard events won't be sent to the rest of mutter, which is good.
It's been long enough. We can mandate support for these, at least
at build-time. The code doesn't actually compile without either
of these, so just consider that unsupported.
The idea here is that while we take a WM-side grab, like a compositor
grab or a resizing grab, we need to remove the focus from the Wayland
client.
We make a special exception for CLICKING operations, because these
are really an internal state machine while you're pressing on a button
inside a frame, and in this case, we need to not kill the focus.
A careful analysis of mutter's codebase shows that nothing actually
passes anything but 0 to this. gnome-shell has one instance, but it's
most likely a mistake.
Remove the grab_mask field and the one place in keybindings.c that uses it.
The parameter to begin_grab_op is left in for API compatibility reasons.
We previously separated out MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. mutter
would only manage one screen, but we still kept a list of screens
for simplicity.
With Wayland support, we no longer care about the ability to
manage more than one screen at a time. Remove this by killing
the list of screens, in favor of having just one MetaScreen
in MetaDisplay.
We also kill off active_screen at the same time, since it's
not necessary anymore.
A future cleanup should merge MetaDisplay and MetaScreen. To avoid
breaking API, we should probably keep MetaScreen around as a dummy
type.
