This commits refactors cursor handling code and plugs in logic so that
cursor sprites changes appearance as it moves across the screen.
Renderers are adapted to handle the necessary functionality.
The logic for changing the cursor sprite appearance is done outside of
MetaCursorSprite, and actually where depends on what type of cursor it
is. In mutter we now have two types of cursors that may have their
appearance changed:
- Themed cursors (aka root cursors)
- wl_surface cursors
Themed cursors are created by MetaScreen and when created, when
applicable(*), it will extend the cursor via connecting to a signal
which is emitted everytime the cursor is moved. The signal handler will
calculate the expected scale given the monitor it is on and reload the
theme in a correct size when needed.
wl_surface cursors are created when a wl_surface is assigned the
"cursor" role, i.e. when a client calls wl_pointer.set_cursor. A
cursor role object is created which is connected to the cursor object
by the position signal, and will set a correct texture scale given what
monitor the cursor is on and what scale the wl_surface's active buffer
is in. It will also push new buffers to the same to the cursor object
when new ones are committed to the surface.
This commit also makes texture loading lazy, since the renderer doesn't
calculate a rectangle when the cursor position changes.
The native backend is refactored to be triple-buffered; see the comment
in meta-cursor-renderer-native.c for further explanations.

There is nothing special about the private API which only consists of
getters for renderer specific backing buffer. Lets them to the regular
.h file and treat them as part of the normal API.

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.
We expect that meta_screen_set_cursor while grabbed will properly
set the cursor on the root window. Make sure this works by simply
always using the root cursor when we have an active grab.
Now that we have a global MetaScreen, we can simply have a global
MetaCursorTracker as well. Keep the get_for_screen() API around for
compatibility, though.
Right now this just has all of the files in one directory. We'll
be introducing more structure to this in the future, and build
a proper backend system.
