Make the RecordWindow method also understand the 'cursor-mode' property.
For 'embedded' the cursor is drawn onto the pixel buffer using cairo,
otherwise it works similarly to how RecordMonitor deals with it.

The helper function from gdbus-codegen broadcasts the signal emission,
but we really only care about sending it to the specific peer that
created the session. Thus, only emit the signal to the particular peer
that owns the session.

The 'cursor-mode', which currently is limited to RecordMonitor(), allows
the user to either do screen casts where the cursor is hidden, embedded
in the framebuffer, or sent as PipeWire stream metadata.
The latter allows the user to get cursor updates sent, including the
cursor sprite, without requiring a stage paint each frame. Currently
this is done by using the cursor sprite texture, and either reading
directly from, or drawing to an offscreen framebuffer which is read from
instead, in case the texture is scaled.

Add API to let GNOME Shell have the ability to get notified about remote
access sessions (remote desktop, remote control and screen cast), and
with a way to close them.
This is done by adding an abstraction above the remote desktop and
screen cast session objects, to avoid exposing their objects to outside
of mutter. Doing that would result in external parts holding references
to the objects, complicating their lifetimes. By using separate wrapper
objects, we avoid this issue all together.
When a screen cast session is stand-alone, i.e. not created given a
remote desktop session managing it, allow calling the Start/Stop
methods to start and stop it.

This commit adds basic screen casting and remote desktoping
functionalty. This works by exposing two D-Bus API services:
org.gnome.Mutter.ScreenCast and org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.
The remote desktop API is used to create remote desktop sessions. For
each session, a D-Bus object is created, and an application can manage
the session by sending messages to the session object. A remote desktop
session the user to emit input events using the D-Bus methods on the
session object. To get framebuffer content, the application should
create an associated screen cast session.
The screen cast API is used to create screen cast sessions. One can so
far either create stand-alone screen cast sessions, or a screen cast
session associated with a remote desktop session. A remote desktop
associated screen cast session is managed by the remote desktop session.
So far only remote desktop managed screen cast sessions are implemented.
Each screen cast session may have one or more streams. A screen cast
stream is a stream of buffers of some part of the compositor content.
So far API exists for creating streams of monitors and windows, but
only monitor streams are implemented.
When a screen cast session is started, the one PipeWire stream is
created for each screen cast stream created for the session. When this
has happened, a PipeWireStreamAdded signal is emitted on the stream
object, passing a unique identifier. The application may use this
identifier to find the associated stream being advertised by the
PipeWire daemon.
The remote desktop and screen cast functionality must be explicitly be
enabled at ./configure time by passing --enable-remote-desktop to
./configure. Doing this will build both screen cast and remote desktop
support.
To actually enable the screen casting and remote desktop, the user must
enable the experimental feature. See
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features.
