This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for
setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From
an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current
implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state
non-atomically.
The API consists of various buliding blocks:
* MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level
handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to
set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set
connector properties.
* MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane.
Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In
the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive
the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping.
This also means various high level changes:
State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying
DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in
one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as
mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far.
From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially
always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in
the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but
postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock).
Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is
notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API.
EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being
atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g.
nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping
the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c.
Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from
meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching
meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the
impl context.
While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the
EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the
frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries
have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This
effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on
the file descriptor for pending page flips.

As with CRTC state, variable connector state is now fetched via the
MetaKmsConnector. The existance of a connector state is equivalent of
the connector being connected. MetaOutputKms is changed to fetch
variable connector state via MetaKmsConnector intsead of KMS directly.
The drmModeConnector is still used for constructing the MetaOutputKms to
find properties used for applying configuration.

Move reading state into a struct for MetaCrtcKms to use instead of
querying KMS itself. The state is fetched in the impl context, but
consists of only simple data types, so is made accessible publicly. As
of this, MetaCrtcKms construction does not involve any manual KMS
interaction outside of the MetaKms abstraction.

Add MetaKmsCrtc to represent a CRTC on the associated device. Change
MetaCrtcKms to use the ones discovered by the KMS abstraction. It still
reads the resources handed over by MetaGpuKms, but eventually it will
use only MetaKmsCrtc.
MetaKmsCrtc is a type of object that is usable both from an impl task
and from outside. All the API exposed via the non-private header is
expected to be accessible from outside of the meta-kms namespace.

The 'underscan' property is a drm connector property, not a CRTC
property, so we would never find it. We also didn't advertise support
for the feature, meaning even if it was on the CRTC, Settings wouldn't
know about it.
Fix this by moving the property to where it belongs: in MetaOutputKms,
and properly advertise support for it if the property is found.

Print the pixel format chosen for an output on a secondary GPU for
debugging. Knowing the format can aid in debugging e.g. red/blue channel
swaps and CPU copy performance issues.
This adds a DRM format printing helper in meta-crtc-kms.h. This header
is included in most native backend files making it widely available,
while DRM formats are specific to the native backend. It could be shared
with Wayland bits, DRM format codes are used there too.
The helper makes the pixel format much more readable than a "%x".

These functions allow inspecting which pixel formats a CRTC's primary
plane supports. Future patches will inspect the supported formats and
pick a framebuffer format accordingly instead of hardcoding a format.
The copy list function will be used to initialize a formats list, and
the supports format function will be used to intersect that list against
another CRTC's supported formats.

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.
Now that we have the list of supported modifiers from the monitor
manager (via the CRTCs to the primary planes), we can use this to inform
EGL it can use those modifiers to allocate the GBM surface with. Doing
so allows us to use tiling and compression for our scanout surfaces.
This requires the Mesa commit in:
Mesa 10.3 (08264e5dad4df448e7718e782ad9077902089a07) or
Mesa 10.2.7 (55d28925e6109a4afd61f109e845a8a51bd17652).
Otherwise Mesa closes the fd behind our back and re-importing will fail.

In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.

Move code dealing with MetaCrtcKms and related functionality to its
own file. Eventually, MetaCrtcKms should become a GObject based on
MetaCrtc, and this commit is in preparation for that.
