Although not strictly a window group... This ClutterActor is
meant to stay always on top, and only show non-reactive actors
created by Mutter itself. Two possible usecases for this layer
are DnD surfaces, and touch spots.
We might also want to move cursors out of an overlay in MetaStage
into here at some point.
gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.

gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.

The hierarchy handling is handled in the shell by adding stuff
directly to the uiGroup, and we have a dedicated actor for
the overview there, so we don't need this anymore.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.

Put override redirect windows such as menus into a separate window group
stacked above everything else. This will allow us to visually put these
above other compositior chrome.
Based on a patch from Muffin.

Mutter originally started out with the idea that only a subset of the total
API was exposed to plugins, so some APIs are duplicated on MutterPlugin.
We've long since abandoned that idea; remove these wrappers.

Some apps that do a lot of rendering on the screen like games, mostly run in
fullscreen where there is no need for them to be redirected doing so does add
an overhead; while performance is critical for those apps.
This can be disabled / enabled at runtime using
meta_enable_unredirect_for_screen / meta_disable_unredirect_for_screen

If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.
