IBusInputContext/ClutterInputFocus/GtkIMContext all go for offset+len
for their ::delete-surrounding signals, with offset being a signed int
(neg. to delete towards left of selection, pos. to delete towards right
of selection) and len being an unsigned int from the offset (and
presumably, skipping the current selection).
The text-input protocols however pass in this event two unsigned integers,
one being the length of text to delete towards the left of the selection,
and another the length of text to delete towards the right of the selection.
To translate properly these semantics, positive offsets shouldn't account
for before_length, and negative offset+len shouldn't account for after_length.
The offset/length approach may of course represent deletions that are
detached from the current cursor/selection, we simply delete the whole range
from the cursor/selection positions then.

The input method can assign a negative value to
clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() to move the cursor to the left.
But Wayland protocol accepts positive values in delete_surrounding() and
GTK converts the values to the negative ones in
text_input_delete_surrounding_text_apply().

Both IBus and ClutterInputFocus work in character offsets for the cursor
position in the preedit string. However the zwp_text_input protocol does
define the preedit string cursor offset to be in bytes.
Fixes client bugs in representing the caret within the preedit string,
as we were clearly giving the wrong offset.

We use the input_method on both branches, but only check for its existence
when enabling the text_input. The case of focusing out shouldn't happen in
practice as we couldn't have focused in ever before, but still make the
check one level above so it's clearer that the text_input's IM focus cannot
be enabled without an IM implementation.

Enable the OSK if receiving .enable consecutively (i.e. the
ClutterInputFocus was already focused). We specifically want to avoid
enabling the panel just because of focus changes within a surface (where
the .disable request across focus change would previously unfocus the
ClutterInputFocus). Prior state should be preserved if possible in that
situation.

This was wrongly done just before enable, which is not right as
per the protocol. A side effect was that input purpose/hints were
eagerly reset before being applied, thus not properly honored,
noticed in the doing of emoji/numeric OSK panels.

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.
We might unset focus, or already be out of focus (e.g. an X11 client or
clutter text entry is focused) when a text-input state is committed by
the client. We handled this before, except when text input was
explicitly disabled by the client, the Wayland text-input was in focus
by the input method, and it focused itself out.
Simplify the logic a bit by just dropping the state on the floor in all
cases where after any potential focus changes were done, we are not
focused.

This protocol supersedes the internal gtk_text_input protocol that
was in place. Functionally it is very similar, with just some more
verbosity in both ways (text_change_cause, .done event), and some
improvements wrt the pre-edit text styling.
If text_input_enable() is called when there no active IM (eg. running plain
mutter), some ClutterInputFocus method calls that are not allowed while
unfocused will end up called, triggering critical warnings.
If there is no IM return early here, all other calls are superfluous then.
This is the implementation of the internal text-input protocol that will
be used to communicate IMs (to be implemented by gnome-shell) with clients.
The text_input protocol has its own focus expressed through enter/leave
events, that will typically follow the keyboard's.
The client will be able to communicate its current status (eg. focus state,
cursor rectangle in surface coordinates, text surrounding the cursor
position, ...) and will receive commands from the compositor (eg. preedit
text, committing a string, ...).
Whenever there is an active input method, the compositor will route key
events directly through it. The client will not receive wl_keyboard
events if the event is consumed by the IM.
