The XSizeHints set by X11 clients give a hint to the window manager
about size increment, aspect ratio, base, minimum and maximum size, etc.
When an X11 client changes those values, there is a good chance that it
will affect the actual window size in some way, and mutter rightfully
queue a window resize in that case.
However, mutter does not check if any of the hints have actually changed
and unconditionally queue a window resize whenever a client changes its
WM_NORMAL_HINTS property.
That can be a problem when a zealous client such as xterm decides to
update its WM_NORMAL_HINTS property on resize, because in return mutter
will queue a non-user driven resize in the middle of user-driven events,
hence defeating the purpose of the META_MOVE_RESIZE_USER_ACTION flag.
To avoid that issue, make mutter a bit smarter and avoid queuing a
window resize if the XSizeHints haven't actually changed.

Better to have the relevant object figure out whether it is a good
position to be unredirectable other than the actor, which should be
responsible for being composited.

This removes the MetaWindowX11::priv pointer. It is replaced with a
meta_window_x11_get_private() helper function, and another method to get
the client rect without going through MetaWindowX11Private.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.

Java applications might use override-redirect windows as parent windows for
top-level windows, although this is not following the standard [1].
In such case, the first non-override-redirect child window that is created
was marked as being on_all_workspaces since the call to
should_be_on_all_workspaces() returns TRUE for its parent, and this even
though the on_all_workspaces_requested bit is unset.
When a further child of this window was added, it was set as not having a
workspace and not being on_all_workspaces, since the call to
should_be_on_all_workspaces() for its parent would return FALSE (unless if
it is in a different monitor, and the multiple-monitors workspaces are
disabled).
Since per commit 09bab98b we don't recompute the workspace if the
on_all_workspaces bit is unset, we could end up in a case where a window can
be nor in all the workspaces or in a specific workspace.
So let's just ignore the transient_for bit for a window if that points to an
override-redirect, using the x11 root window instead.
Add a stacking test to verify this scenario (was failing before of this
commit).

Once we set the transient_for, we look for parent MetaWindow, so instead
of overwriting this value for loops check, just use another function
and avoid to look for the xwindow again when setting the MetaWindow parent.

On FreeBSD, gethostname is guarded by '__POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200112', which
requires either '_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112' or '_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600'.
Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 does not break the build because of
implicit declaration, but it defeats the purpose of defining the macro.

It's a UI pattern that has been superseded by client-side decorations,
apps that used to set the hint have generally moved on to headerbars.
Given that and the limitation to server-side decorated X11 windows,
GTK4 removed the client-side API for setting the hint, it's time to
follow suite and retire the feature.

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.
The WM_NAME property is of type TEXT_PROPERTY, which is supposed to be
returned as UTF-8. Commit 840378ae68 broke that assumption, resulting
in crashes with non-UTF8 locales; however the "fix" of converting from
LATIN1 to UTF8 is wrong as well, as the conversion will spit out garbage
when the input encoding isn't actually LATIN1.
Now that the original issue in text_property_to_utf8() has been fixed,
we can simply revert the relevant bits of commit d62491f46e.

They are X11 specific functions, used for X11 code. They have been
improved per jadahl's suggestion to use gdk_x11_lookup_xdisplay and
gdk_x11_display_error_trap_* functions, instead of current code.

- Moved xdisplay, name and various atoms from MetaDisplay
- Moved xroot, screen_name, default_depth and default_xvisual
from MetaScreen
- Moved some X11 specific functions from screen.c and display.c
to meta-x11-display.c

Some applications like Wine may choose to juggle the same user time
window across different toplevels, in that case we receive warnings
when trying to register the window a second time, leading to wrong
accounting.
If the window was already used as the user time window for another
toplevel, unset it from the previous MetaWindow owner, and unregister
so the registration with the new MetaWindow is successful.

gjs throws exceptions on non UTF-8 strings which, in some cases, crash
gnome-shell. ICCCM string properties are defined to be Latin-1 encoded
so we can try to convert them to avoid it.
Note that _NET_WM_NAME is defined to be UTF-8 and we already validate
it in utf8_string_from_results() .

If a client only ever sets the hint on window creation we'd never pick
the value. Also, include override redirect windows since the hint is
relevant to them too.

This was introduced in commit c6793d477a
to prevent window self-maximisation. It turns out that that bug seems
to have been fixed meanwhile in a different way since the reproducer
in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461927#c37 now works
fine with this special handling removed.
In fact, failing to set window->fullscreen immediately when loading
the initial set of X properties causes us to create a UI frame for a
window that sets _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN.
This, in turn, might cause the fullscreen constrain code to fail if
the window also sets min_width/min_height size hints to be the monitor
size since the UI frame size added to those makes the rectangle too
big to fit the monitor. If the window doesn't set these hints, we
fullscreen it but the window will get sized such that the UI frame is
taken into account while it really shouldn't (see the reproducer
above).

Since commit a7b7213017, we rely on the standard property
system to initialize the window type (and likewise for the window
role since commit 031154a400). However as property hooks are
never run for properties that are not set, we end up not initializing
the window type correctly for windows with no _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE
property (which includes virtually all OR windows, causing them to
show up in pagers and the Shell overview and resulting in frequent
crashes due to breaking reasonable assumptions all over the place).
Introduce a new FORCE_INIT flag to allow forcing hooks to run
even when the corresponding property is unset, and use it for
both _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE and _NET_WM_WINDOW_ROLE.
Properties like _NET_WM_DESKTOP and _NET_WM_STATE are supposed to be
ignored after the initial map of the window, so ignore any
PropertyNotifies for these.
