While leaving the runtime checks in place, requiring xrandr 1.5 at build
time allows us to remove some seemingly unnecessary conditional
inclusion of functionality.
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.
If we wait with opening the X11 window decoration GDK connection, we
might end up with a terminated X11 server before we finish
initializing, depending on the things happening after spawning Xwayland
and before opening the MetaX11Dispaly. In gnome-shell, this involves
e.g. creating a couple of temporary X11 connections, and on disconnect,
if they happen to be the last client, the X server will terminate
itself.

- Stop using CurrentTime, introduce META_CURRENT_TIME
- Use g_get_monotonic_time () instead of relying on an
X server running and making roundtrip to it

This is in order to force running as a X11 window manager/compositing
manager. Useful for debugging and other cases where the automatic
detection does not work as expected.

Split up the X11 backend into two parts, one for running as a
Compositing Manager, and one for running as a nested Wayland
compositor.
This commit also cleans up the compositor configuration calculation,
attempting to make it more approachable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777800
Add private API for overriding the compositor configuration, i.e. the
compositor type (X11 WM or Wayland compositor) and backend type. This
will make it possible to add a special test backend used by src/tests/.

When launching a GNOME session from a text-mode VT, the logind session
type is unlikely to be set to either "wayland" or "x11". We search for a
supported session type first with logind and then with
$XDG_SESSION_TYPE. As a fallback, we also test $DISPLAY in case of a
"tty" logind session to support starting through xinit. Ideally, such
setups should set XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11.
If no supported session type is found, we throw an error.

Make it possible to force mutter to start as a X11 compositing/window
manager. This is needed when intending to start mutter as an X11 window
manager while running inside a Wayland session, for example when
intending to debug it in Xephyr.

Introduce two new clutter backends: MetaClutterBackendX11 and
MetaClutterBackendNative. They are so far only wrap ClutterBackendX11
and ClutterBackendEglNative respectively, but the aim is to move things
from the original clutter backends when needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768976
As of "core: start as wayland display server when
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland" it is no longer possible to run a nested
mutter Wayland session on top of another Wayland session. This patch
adds a command line argument to make it possible to force mutter to
start as a nested compositor.

Setting the scaling factor immediately after calling clutter_init()
avoids creating the stage at one size, then later resizing it to
a different size.

The initialization sequence before was quite icky, initializing Clutter
in a few different places depending on what was going on.
Put that all back into main.c
Mutter depends on the X11 windowing backend of Clutter, unless it's used
as a Wayland display server.
This allows Mutter to run without breaking in case Clutter changes the
order with which windowing backends are selected, like it was the case
for bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734587
The order of selection of the Clutter backends has not been made public,
so it cannot be relied upon since the introduction of the multiple
backends support; since Mutter requires the X11 backend functionality,
it should select the X11 windowing system, in the same way it selects
the EGL backend when compiled and run as a Wayland display server.
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.

It just gets in the way of gnome-shell's log handler (which
includes gjs backtraces optionally), it requires people to understand
what 8 or 16 mean as log levels, and it loses the log domain.
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.
_SVID_SOURCE has been deprecated in newer versions of glibc breaking
-WError; the recommended replacement of _DEFAULT_SOURCE is fairly
new, so switch to _XOPEN_SOURCE instead.
