As event handling goes:
1) Events get generated and queued by the seat (from another thread in
native, in the same thread in X11)
2) The MetaBackend gets those events and forwards them to Clutter
via clutter_do_event()
3) The events get queued in the ClutterStage
4) At the time of processing a frame, the input events are processed,
5) Motion events are throttled, only the last is effectively handled
6) Events are filtered, wayland and WM handling happens here
7) Events maybe reach to clutter
This commit moves 6 to happen between 2 and 3. The end result is that:
- Throttling only applies to Clutter event handling, The wayland event
forwarding bits will handle the event stream as soon as it comes, as
timely as possible.
- WM event handling is also unthrottled, but that's more of a side
effect.
- This all still happens on the main thread, so there's the possibility
that other busy areas (e.g. relayout) temporarily block this event
forwarding.
- Sending events unthrottled inherently means more CPU, probably
dependent on input devices' frequency. The impact is not measured.
This should bring the best of both worlds with e.g. 1000Hz mice, wayland
clients get unthrottled events, while GNOME Shell UI still behaves like
it used to do.

If we wait till finalize, dispose will destroy the actor hierarchy
and cause untimely repicks. Ensure to free the pointer/touch info
first, so the hooked signal callbacks are gone when destroying the
actors.

This test is injecting input events without checking the correct stage/
device state. Wait for the pointer to enter the stage, so the event gets
correctly forwarded across.

Listen to changes in MetaWindow::is-alive, so that the pointer
can logically leave the surface as soon as that happens. This
helps prevent flooding the client socket while it is stalled.

Change some things in these "app is alive" checks:
- The dialog timeout is separated from the ping timeout, in order
to show it again at a constant rate after dismissing, despite in
flight pings. It still shows immediately after the first failed
ping.
- As we want to tap further into is-alive logic, MetaWindow now
made it a property, that other places in code can fetch and
subscribe.
- Motion events trigger ping (as long as there was none other in
flight for the same window), and are counted between ping and
pong, in order to preemptively declare the window as not alive
before there is trouble with event queues being overflown.
This results in a separate logic between "the application does
not respond" and "we are showing the close dialog" so that the
former may get triggered independently.

If we were cancelled, it could mean we teared down, meaning fetching
manager instances will attempt to fetch past freed instances. Handle
this by waiting with the fetching until we know we weren't cancelled.

MetaBackend can now show whether it is in headless mode or not
using a vfunc is_headless.
Fallback of is_headless returns FALSE.
MetaBackendNative implements is_headless returning its
is_headless property.

This is a strange thing to do since MetaInputMapper also does take care of
devices with an output configured through settings, since we might have
devices that were configure through settings exclude other devices that
belong together with an output (e.g. a display-integrated tablet).
This was essentially here as a last resort to avoid matching two very
similar looking tablets to one of two very similar looking outputs. There
was a 50% chance already that the choice was wrong, and now these devices
can all be configured specifically through settings, so this shouldn't
be missed either.

Non-display-attached tablets (e.g. Intuos) may find no match, which
should mean "use the span of all monitors", not "pick one for me".
Reserve this fallback to touchscreen devices, since these might
still benefit from it.

The matrix and aspect ratio of the tablet is irrelevant on pads, and
it actually triggers warnings when trying change that on those devices:
gnome-shell:42536): mutter-CRITICAL **: 17:22:41.994: meta_input_device_native_get_mapping_mode_in_impl: assertion 'device_type == CLUTTER_TABLET_DEVICE || device_type == CLUTTER_PEN_DEVICE || device_type == CLUTTER_ERASER_DEVICE' failed
This is unnecessary to do on pad devices, these just need to be moved
together with their respective stylus.

In the case a11y is required, the screen reader is very much
interested in getting an uninterrupted flow of key events. It attempts
so by setting a ::captured-event callback on the ClutterStage, but
that falls short with our MetaDisplay event handler, as clutter events
can be stopped before a11y gets a chance to see them.
This kind of selective amnesia wrt key events is not new, in X11 those
go unheard of by the WM as long as a client is focused and no grabs hold,
so it is clients' responsibility to talk with AT bridge.
This commit doesn't yet change that for X11, but we can do this right
away from the compositor on Wayland, and without any chance to be
tampered by clients.

Since the completion callback (on_switch_workspace_effect_complete) sets
priv->tml_switch_workspace1 to NULL, the unref was trying to unref NULL,
and the reffed ClutterTimeline was not getting unreffed.
This could be triggered by rapidly switching workspaces, switching again
before the animation of the initial switch was done.
Found while working on #2038.
