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.

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.

Turn MetaOutput into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaOutputs 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.

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.

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
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
By setting the environment variable MUTTER_DEBUG_TILED_DUMMY_MONITORS
to "1", the dummy MetaMonitorManager backend used when running mutter
nested will create tiled monitors instead of single-output/CRTC
monitors. This makes it possible to test tiled monitor configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Refactor monitor generation by splitting the generation of modes, CRTCs
and outputs into a separate function. A side effect is that each output
will have its own set of possible modes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Don't set the CRTC rect and screen size at in read_current(), as those
depends on how the configuration is done. Instead, don't set the CRTC
rect at all, and update the screen dimensions when being configured.
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 MetaMonitorMode referred to the mode of a CRTC, and with the future
introduction of a MetaMonitor, theh old name would be confusing.
Instead call it what it is.

Enable a user to test and debug multi output configurations on Wayland
without having the available hardware by enabling some basic
configuration of the dummy monitor manager.
Currently available configuration options are:
MUTTER_DEBUG_NUM_DUMMY_MONITORS - to set the number of monitors
MUTTER_DEBUG_DUMMY_MONITOR_SCALES - to configure the monitor scales
See src/backends/meta-monitor-manager-dummy.c for detailed description
of the available configuration parameters.

To make the nested compositor mode work again after "backends/native:
Calculate the output scale in here", set the scale when creating the
dummy output.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745401
The output_id is more of an opaque identifier for the monitor, based on
its underlying ID from the windowing system. Since we also use the term
"output_id" for the output's index, rename our use of the opaque cookie
"output_id" to "winsys_id".
Right now this just has all of the files in one directory. We'll
be introducing more structure to this in the future, and build
a proper backend system.
