Make the API used more shared and better named.
meta_monitor_manager_on_hotplug() was renamed
meta_monitor_manager_reconfigure(), and meta_monitor_manager_reload()
was introduced to combine reading the current state and reconfiguring.

Just as with MetaOutput, instead of the home baked "inheritance" system,
using a gpointer and a GDestroyNotify function to keep the what
effectively is sub type details, make MetaCrtc an abstract derivable
type, and make the implementations inherit it.

MetaCrtcInfo and MetaOutputInfo did not represent information about
MetaCrtc and MetaOutput, but the result of the monitor configuration
assignment algorithm, thus rename it to MetaCrtcAssignment and
MetaOutputAssignment.
The purpose for this is to be able to introduce a struct that actually
carries information about the CRTCs and outputs, as retrieved from the
backend implementations.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
That is is_presentation, is_primary, is_underscanning and backlight.
The first three are set during CRTC assignment as they are only valid
when active. The other is set separately, as it is untied to
monitor configuration.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
It was used during configuration to ensure that we always dealt with
every output and CRTC. Do this without polluting the MetaOutput and
MetaCrtc structs with intermediate variables not used by the
corresponding types themself.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
To make it more reliable to distinguish between values that are read
from the backend implementation (which is likely to be irrelevant for
anything but the backend implementation), split out those values (e.g.
layout).
This changes the meaning of what was MetaCrtc::rect, to a
MetaCrtcConfig::layout which is the layout the CRTC has in the global
coordinate space.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1042
Rather than handle UpClient in both MetaBackend (to reset the idletime
when the lid is opened), and in MetaMonitorManager and
MetaMonitorConfigManager (to turn the screen under the lid on/off
depending on its status), move the ability to get the lid status from
UPower or mock it in one place, in MetaBackend.
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.

Instead of passing it around or fetching the singleton, keep a pointer
to the monitor manager that owns the CRTC. This will eventually be
replaced with a per GPU/graphics card object.

Convert MetaCrtcMode from a plain struct to a GObject. This changes the
storage format, and also the API, as the API was dependent on the
storage format.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Turn MetaCrtc into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaCrtcs from using an array, to using a GList.

When we update state, we might not have set the current config yet (for
example if the Xrandr assignment didn't change), so pass the monitors
config we should derive from instead of fetching it from the monitor
config manager.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787477
When headless, we don't have any logical monitors to derive a screen
size from, but we can't set it to empty as that will cause issues with
the clutter stage, UI widget layout and other things. To avoid such
issues, just fall back to a 640 x 480 screen size when headless.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730551
This changes the API to pass supported scales per mode instead of
providing a global list. This allows for more flexible scaling
scenarious, where a scale compatible with one mode can still be made
available even though another mode is incompatible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When the logical layout mode is used, allow configuring the scaling to
be non-integer. Supported scales are so far hard coded to include at
most 1, 1.5 and 2, and scales that doesn't result in non-fractional
logical monitor sizes are discarded.
Wayland outputs are set to have scale ceil(actual_scale) meaning well
behaving Wayland clients will provide buffers with buffer scale 2, thus
being scaled down to the fractional scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
This commit makes it possible to configure logical monitor scale also
when running on top of an X11 server using Xrandr. An extra property
'requires-globla-scale' is added to the D-Bus API is added to instruct
a configuration application to only allow setting a global logical
monitor scale.
This is needed to let gsd-xsettings use the configured state to set a
XSettings state that respects the explicit monitor configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Introduce MetaSettings and add the settings managed by MetaBackend into
the new object. These settings include: experimental-features and UI
scaling factor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
In order to test deriving the logical state from the underlying
configuration, as is always done on X11, make the test backend derive
the state when stage views are disabled.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using a environment variable, add a new 'experimental
feature' gsetting keyword "monitor-config-manager" that enables the use
of the new MetaMonitorConfigManager. This commit also makes it possible
to switch between the two systems without restarting mutter.
The D-Bus API is disabled when the experimental feature is not enabled,
and clients trying to access it will get a access-denied error in
response. A new property 'IsExperimentalApiEnabled' is added to let the
D-Bus client know whether it is possible to use the experimental API or
not.

This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Make the concept of maximum screen size optional, as it is not
necessarily a thing on all systems (e.g. when using the native backend
and stage views).
The meta_monitor_monitor_get_limits() function is replaced by a
meta_monitor_manager_get_max_screen_size() which fails when no screen
limit is available. Callers and other users of the previous max screen
size fields are updated to deal with the fact that the limit is
optional.
The new D-Bus API is changed to move it to the properties bag, where
its absence means there is no applicable limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a new D-Bus API that uses the state from GetCurrentState to
configure high level monitors, instead of low level CRTCs and
connectors. So far persistent configuration is not implemented, as
writing to the configuration store is still not supported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backends decide whether to just rebuild a derived state, or use
the NULL config to rebuild an empty logical state.
This also changes the expected screen size values of the no-outputs
test; as this case is actually handled now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Replace the 'scale' of an output with a vfunc on the MetaMonitorManager
class that takes a monitor and a monitor mode which calculates the
scale. On X11 this always returns 1, on KMS, the old formula is used.
On the dummy and test backends, the already configured values are
returned.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Expose via a new API whether the transform on a logical monitor is
handled by the backend. This was previously only exposed only in the
native backend. This will be used to emulate not supporting transforms
in the backend in the nested backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.
Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).
The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).
The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The function meta_monitor_manager_read_current_config() was renamed to
meta_monitor_manager_read_current_state() as it does not read any
configuration, but reads the current state as described by the backend.
