This means objects have an owner, where the chain eventually always
leads to a MetaContext. This also means that all objects can find their
way to other object instances via the chain, instead of scattered global
singletons.
This is a squashed commit originally containing the following:
cursor-tracker: Don't get backend from singleton
idle-manager: Don't get backend from singleton
input-device: Pass pointer to backend during construction
The backend is needed during construction to get the wacom database.
input-mapper: Pass backend when constructing
monitor: Don't get backend from singleton
monitor-manager: Get backend directly from monitor manager
remote: Get backend from manager class
For the remote desktop and screen cast implementations, replace getting
the backend from singletons with getting it via the manager classes.
launcher: Pass backend during construction
device-pool: Pass backend during construction
Instead of passing the (maybe null) launcher, pass the backend, and get
the launcher from there. That way we always have a way to some known
context from the device pool.
drm-buffer/gbm: Get backend via device pool
cursor-renderer: Get backend directly from renderer
input-device: Get backend getter
input-settings: Add backend construct property and getter
input-settings/x11: Don't get backend from singleton
renderer: Get backend from renderer itself
seat-impl: Add backend getter
seat/native: Get backend from instance struct
stage-impl: Get backend from stage impl itself
x11/xkb-a11y: Don't get backend from singleton
backend/x11/nested: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
crtc: Add backend property
Adding a link to the GPU isn't enough; the virtual CRTCs of virtual
monitors doesn't have one.
cursor-tracker: Don't get display from singleton
remote: Don't get display from singleton
seat: Don't get display from singleton
backend/x11: Don't get display from singleton

Let the meta_cursor_sprite_realize() function return a boolean value
telling whether there was an actual change in the sprite cursor. E.g.
the surface/icon for it changed in between.
This is used in the native backend to avoid converting/uploading again
the cursor surface.

It keeps references to cursors, and cursors keep references to DRM
buffers. In order to be able to clean up on exit, explicitly destroy the
cursor tracker on shutdown.
We can't rely on GObject reference counting, as gjs might hold onto a
reference until it's garbage collected.

These use now more of a "pull" model, where they receive update
notifications and the relevant input position is queried, instead
of the coordinates being passed along.
This allows to treat cursor renderers all the same independently
of the device they track. This notifying of position changes should
ideally be more backend-y than core-y, a better location will be
figured out in future commits.

Without doing this, we'd use the same sprite that was last set by
mutter, most likely a leftptr cursor, and fail to update when e.g.
moving the pointer above a text entry and the displayed cursor updated
to a cursor position marker.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
On X11 we won't always receive cursor positions, as some other client
might have grabbed the pointer (e.g. for implementing a popup menu). To
make screen casting show a somewhat correct cursor position, we need to
actively poll the X server about the current cursor position.
We only really want to do this when screen casting or taking a
screenshot, so add an API that forces the cursor tracker to track the
cursor position.
On the native backend this is a no-op as we by default always track the
cursor position anyway.

Similar to gtk commit f507a790, this ensures that the valist variant of
the marshaller is used. From that commit's message:
```
If we set c_marshaller manually, then g_signal_newv() will not setup a
va_marshaller for us. However, if we provide c_marshaller as NULL, it will
setup both the c_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID) and
va_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOIDv) for us.
```
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/697
By putting `NULL` as the C marshaller in `g_signal_new`, you
automatically get `g_cclosure_marshaller_generic`, which will try to
process its arguments and return value with the help of libffi and
GValue.
Using `glib-genmarshal` and valist_marshallers, we can prevent this so
that we need less instructions for each signal emission.

This is important when using a touchscreen or stylus instead of a mouse
or touchpad. If the cursor only gets hidden and the focus stays the
same, the window will still send hover events to the UI element under
the cursor causing unexpected distractions while interacting with the
touchscreen.
Fix this by emitting a visibility-changed signal from the cursor tracker
which then triggers a focus surface sync and always set the focus
surface to NULL when it's synced while the cursor is hidden.

Allow checking whether the pointer is visible without accessing the
trackers internal is_showing property. While we don't need this just yet
for reading the visibility inside meta-wayland-pointer, it's useful when
implementing the logic to remove Clutter's focus when the cursor goes
hidden later.

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.
Remove some X11 compositing manager specific code from the general
purpose cursor tracker into a new MetaCursorSprite based special
purpose XFIXES cursor sprite.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/77
Commit b1a0bf891 broke the previous logic that we would only fallback
to the root cursor if 1) windows are not interactable or 2) no window
cursor is currently set (i.e. not hovering over any window). Now it
will set up the root cursor if it's NULL, which breaks clients
explicitly setting an invisible cursor. This commit restaurates the
previous behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754806
Just like X11/XFixes behaves, the current cursor is not affected
by its visibility, so it can be queried while invisible (possibly
to be replaced).
For this, keep an extra effective_cursor pointer that will be
either equal to displayed_cursor (maybe a bit of a misnomer now)
or NULL if the cursor is invisible. The MetaCursorRenderer
management is tied to the former, and the ::cursor-changed signal
emission to the latter.

To be able to render the pointer cursor sprite at sub-(logical)-pixel
positions, track the pointer position using floats instead of ints.
This also requires users of the cursor sprite rect to deal with
floating points, when e.g. finding the logical monitor etc.

Let the backend initialize the cursor tracker, and change all call
sites to get the cursor tracker from the backend instead of from the
screen. It wasn't associated with the screen anyway, so the API was
missleading.

Use the correct pointer types for cogl objects. This avoids warnings
when including the cogl headers doesn't result in all the cogl types
being typedefs to void.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768976
While CoglError is a define to GError, it doesn't follow the convention
of ignoring errors when NULL is passed, but rather treats the error as
fatal :-(
That's clearly unwanted for a compositor, so make sure to always pass
an error parameter where a runtime error is possible (i.e. any CoglError
that is not a malformed blend string).
