This allows creating the stage much earlier than it otherwise would have
been. Our initialization sequence has always been a bit haphazard, with
first the MetaBackend created, then the MetaDisplay, and inside of that,
the MetaScreen and MetaCompositor.
Refactor this out so that the MetaBackend creates the Clutter
stage. Besides the clarity of early initialization, we now have much
easier access to the stage, allowing us to use it for things such as
key focus and beyond.
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.

There's no obvious reason for grabbing the X server when unmanaging
a screen - the only race conditions a server grab solves are those
related to querying and then acting on the results of the query.
Our shutdown sequence is correctly ordered according to the ICCCM -
we first unselect on the root window, and then we destroy the
window owning WM_S<n> so removing the grab should not cause any
problems when we are being replaced with another window manager.

Commit 8100cefd4c fixed a crash during workspace initialization by
tweaking the startup sequence; as a result, the plugin (like gnome-shell)
is now started before workspaces are fully initialized, which breaks
some reasonable assumptions (like always having an active workspace).
This is particularly problematic considering that the code making those
assumptions is not necessarily our own (extensions!), so return to
fully initialize workspaces before the compositor again.
At the same time, make sure to only call meta_workspace_activate()
once during initialization to avoid reintroducing the crash.

Since commit 8b2b65246a, we assume that the compositor always
exists. Alas, the assumption is wrong - the compositor is currently
initialized after the screen, but meta_screen_new() itself may
call a compositor function if initialization involves a workspace
switch (which will happen when meta_workspace_activate() is called
more than once and for different workspaces - or in other words,
when _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set and not 0).
So carefully split out the offending bits and only call them after
the compositor has been initialized.

Compositors haven't been able to manage more than one screen for
quite a while. Merge MetaCompScreen into MetaCompositor, and update
the API to match.
We still keep MetaScreen in the public compositor API for compatibility
purposes.
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.
At one point, it was supported to run mutter without a compositor,
but we don't allow that any longer. A lot of code already assumes
display->compositor exists and doesn't check for a NULL pointer,
so just kill the rest of the checks.
Prior to the DisplayConfig merge, we would set _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS
to (unsigned)-1 when unset. After that, we would have invalid
reads inside meta_screen_monitor_index_to_xinerama_index() (called
with -1).
The way I read the specification, the proper way to indicate
that the window is back to fullscreen on all monitors is to
remove the property, so do that.
Also, add an assertion that meta_screne_monitor_index_to_xinerama_index()
is doing the right thing.

Using a full InputOutput window causes us to make a full Wayland surface
for it, and go through the X server. As the goal of the guard window is
a window for us to stack minimized windows under so we can prevent them
from getting input, it makes sense to use an InputOnly window here.
Remove some obvious server grabs from the window creation codepath,
also ones that are taken at startup.
During startup, there is no need to grab: we install the event handlers
before querying for the already-existing windows, so there is no danger
that we will 'lose' some window. We might try to create a window twice
(if it comes back in the original query and then we get an event for it)
but the code is already protected against such conditions.
When windows are created later, we also do not need grabs, we just need
appropriate error checking as the window may be destroyed at any time
(or it may have already been destroyed).
The stack tracker is unaffected here - as it listens to CreateNotify and
DestroyNotify events and responds directly, the internal stack
representation will always be consistent even if the window goes away while
we are processing MapRequest or similar.
Now that there are no grabs we don't have to worry about explicitly calling
display_notify_window after grabs have been dropped. Fold that into
meta_window_new_shared().

In meta_screen_manage_all_windows() we can use our own stack
tracker to get the list of windows - no need to query X again.
A copy is needed because the stack gets modified as part of the loop.
Specifically, meta_stack_tracker_get_stack() at this time returns the
predicted stack, and meta_window_new() performs a few operations
(e.g. framing) which cause immediate changes to the predicted stack.
